Who knows how much he really wasted on it, I mean after all he did have everything "installed by Riverside Scion of Rome Georgia, by a Master Tech." 0-60 in 5.1? Give me a break. Anyone who knows the slightest thing about cars knows that few things short of a Lotus Elise can get that time out of "238 horsepower."

Based on testing done at Finish Line Motor Sports of Kennesaw Georgia, this TC is achieving 238 Horse Power at the wheels. 0-60 in 5.1 Seconds, and ¼ mile in 13.07 Seconds at 106MPH. THIS IS NOT A MISPRINT! This TC is FASTER then a Stock 300HP Nissan 350Z, and I know this first hand because I own both cars in the 2006 model year. This car is so solid on the road I have NEVER had it slip on me, under any circumstances.
i can only think that he's TRYING to get this price to get his 350Z.

I tried to ask a question but my laptop wont let me sign in. If he is going to lie, he should make it halfway believeable.

Well, out of curiosity, I ask him the following:

Hello, my name is Brian Hoffman and I am interested in the Scion TC that you have for sale. Before I bid, I have several questions:

1)Do you have all recipts and records?

2) What engine modifications have you done other than the super charger? I ask because Scion advertises that it will get the car up to 200 hp.

3)How did you get the 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times? Those times are phenomenal for only 238 hp.

Thank you very much for your time and I look foward to hearing from you!

-BrianH
I wonder just how much smoke I will find blown up my ****.

Please post his response here. I am highly interested in seeing what he says. You should of asked how it is still warrantied if he has 238WHP. To get that he has to have something else done. So there is deffinetly a lie somewhere.

My only comment... His car IS very clean. Definetly not worth the $37K though.

Just for putting a price of $37K for buy it now... I hope someone uses a stolen ebay account or something like that. Kinda slap some sense into the seller.

There is a thread on this in Off-Topic and I'll say it again, no way it is anywhere close to worth that price. By the look of the engine all he has a supercharger, nothing else. It is really clean but worth 37K, I think not.

What a tool!
