Default fixin to buy, hard to find in my area!

fixing to buy a white tc. but i cant find many! the closest scion/toyota carlot is 36 miles from my house. and they have 10 new ones and 2 used.
i found a used one for 13,999 with 50,000 miles, its a 05 in mint condition! tint all around and very clean paint/interior!

ehh, i would think its a bit much. Maybe $12.5 or so for being an 05 with 50k miles. I would look on cars.com to see what you can find.

If you can afford it, buy new. tCs are hot cars and their value holds up really well.
Plus, there's nothing like that new car smell! <sniff> <sniff> Yummy!

it had the 18 inch enkeis and a pedestal spoiler and tints and an alpine headunit and 1 amp too. WHAT A FIND!
