I must say it was a nice ride. They even had the color I wanted. The salesperson I was suppose to talk to wasnt there and I had to deal with this other salesman who wasnt too bright. Asked about colors, and he said the red was popular and he showed me a car that belonged to an associate and it was a release series 1.0. I cant get that color why would he show that to me? Needless to say I declined to put 500 down as a deposit on the car to save it for me. I really like the car but the salesman wasnt the sharpest knife in the drawer. Anyways I think I will get one, just not from him. Oh and a question...when i was done driving i smelled this burning smell is that normal? The car had 0 miles to start with so maybe thats why. Any ideas?

 

A lot of times, when cars are fresh off of the truck, you are probably smelling the stickers burning off of the exhaust system when it gets hot.....perfectly normal.

 

$500 deposit? I only had to lay down $100.

 

$100? I might of done that. Just didnt have $500 in ye old checking account at that time and didnt have time to transfer funds at ye old bank before i had to go to work.

 

lucky.i had to throw down 1K for downpayment

kinda lucky though.went to the dealership not expecting to get a car(just to order one)

test drove the BSP tC and i too it home that night.i was souped!
good luck with the car bro

 

that smell you are smelling is probably the coating on the engine, youll smell it for around the first 1000 miles. some people on this site even smell that weird smell all the time. its nothing to worry about at all.

 

I put nothing down on the car to order it.

 

I put down $500 on mine. Deposit to hold the vehicle is different than the down payment. Some dealerships recommend $100, some $500.

 

Well you got a 1UP on all of us!

 

I knew what I wanted and I just went ahead and did all the paper work and put a fat down on it.
I finally get my sexy tc on Saturday

 

That's why I don't bank with Ye Old Bank anymore. I use Bank of America. I can do the transfer over the phone.

 

^^ You have a very good point! Oh well guess I just wasnt ment to get tC.....yet..oh I will have my tC, oh yes, I will have my tC.....

 

Not sure how your dealer does it, but you dont have to lay down the $500. Mine asked for a check for $500. They make sure it is good and hold it. If you back out after they have ordered or held your car they cash it. If not they hand it back to you.

 

i didn't have to make a down payment either. but they did want a $300 check to hold my car for me. (but I would have gotten it back if i changed my mind)

but yea odd smells are normal for a new car.

 

Well, tomorrow im going to the dealership with my checkbook. Wish me luck!! If all goes well I'll have a classic silver metallic scion tC. Man these big purchases scare me...

 

Good luck.

I put down $500 on a car first, using a check... When I found the color I wanted at another dealership, i just called and said i wanted my deposit back and got my check back... Bought the other car

 

hurry and get your deposit back. or you will be posting here in a few months complaining about rattles.

 

not everyone has these rattles. and some that do they arent loud at all
you should have been in my car when i drove the 100 miles to and from waco with no radio on. if my tC was ever going to rattle it would have done it then.

your always posting about how bad the tC is. get rid of it already.

 

The smell is normal.
My wife just wrote a check for mine - no down-payment

Lucky husband...
No down payment here either. I just signed on the line.
On the second one, the FM, I had to order it in. There were no more left in GA. Had to come from FL. They called me when it got in. I went and signed again...No deposit needed.
They said if I didn't buy it, they knew someone would. Not a problem.
