They gave me $13,900 for trade it for the tC in the current condidtion and those who lived around me and saw knew it was worth less then that. They want the stock parts back so im going to try and trade themt to get the turbo back the guy was telling me that should not be a problem but he has to check. Pics will be coming this weekend its been pouring these past few days here in Houston so havent had chance to do much of nothing.

You think you work your magic on a Power Wheels? Smoke Jr. is going to be the fastest baby on the block.

Wow, that looks exactly like my mom's car.

I hope you have better luck with yours then she did with hers. It's 3 months old and has had about 4-5 different problems, the door handle broke from the inside of the car, the A/C wouldn't blow cold at all, the calipers were really messed up (it would shake every time she came to a stop), and then the sunroof broke.

Nothing really major and it was all covered under warranty but it's still kind of annoying not having the car while they're fixing it.

^^^why I still don't trust Hyundai.

Anyway, I am on the same route. The Subaru dealer offered me 14,000 for my TRD supercharged tC...

I would like more since it is a 2006 and in great condition. I will sell it privately, but I may just end up taking the 14000.

hmmmmmm.

I hear ya bro, I was kinda in the same position as you and needed the car quick so I had to settle for my 06 Premium white without the navi. I dont really regret not getting it, but it definitely was something I coulda gotten used to
And Billy, we all know your a baller, hell, your gonna be one of the few people out there that have a $28K xB with the majority of the money being put into the powertrain setup
I figured it out when it was all said and done with my xB with the custom suede interior, 6 tv's, 19's, turbo setup amongst other things I had to be pushing about $26K since I did it all myself...do I regret it?? Naa, you only live once right homey?
