Default New guy here

Hey guys, im looking to get a TC and was wondering what dealer/sales person is the most reputable and knowledgable on the products. I have been around to a couple and didnt realy like the service they offered. Im not looking to be treated like just another number and was made to feel like a burdon on the sales reps and i wasnt worth there time.. "im not a name dropper"

Thank you all!!! :D

Also give John @ Elmhurst Scion a call. He's a good guy too.

I know both Justin and John personally, they're not gonna screw you over.

yea theres a good amount of good guys that know what they are doing with scion and are very good with the whole process unlike the streotype. and hopefully justin u didnt take offense to my joke earlier ha. the rest of the salesman selling scion other than the good ones are kind of a joke.

2G's from a pole? I figure not that much to fix my xD if not less. replace ment parts are $500 for my xD. Oh yea, I spun it on the rain last March and hit a guardrail @ 40 sideways. broken headlight(fixed for now) smashed bumper, missing lower grill, bumper crossmember tweaked, crush bar 2" shorter and radiator support pushed under. but the airbags are fine!
