So I had been looking at Tc's for awhile, but never actually got serious until last week. So Thursday of last week I stopped by Frontier Scion in Valencia, I asked them how much I could get for my trade, which is a 1997 VW Jetta GLX VR6. They said 2k! I said no way, and they also said I couldn't order a Tc until Saturday, and then it would take a week or two to get in. So, I called Sierra Scion in Lancaster, about 30 min. away, and the guy there said they had a flint mica 5sp, so Friday I went to see it, but it had a bunch of options I didn't want, but I still wanted to get it, so I said, ok. And, they said that they would give me 3.5k for my trade. So, I went back to work, planning on doing the paperwork that evening, but someone bought it before I could. So, the guy I worked with, Al, found a 5 speed in the port on Sunday, and switched it with one of their auto's and it'll be here tomorrow or wednesday. I just did the paperwork and financing today! That is great service man. And, it was stock, so I got only the options I wanted! Props to Sierra Scion! I just wanted to relay that awesome Tc story. I will be a happy man driving my SSM Tc tomorrow! Peace out.

hey brice be careful bro.. i ordered a scion from the same place, told me it was at the port, stock like yours, they said i would have it the next day... i call up... nah man its still at port.. 2 weeks later, i call up and ask hey where is my car.. and they said i dont know. THEY COULDNT FIND MY CAR, i had already bought it, gotten the vin number and everything.. it was a white one with no options at all.. i then see a white one come up on the truck when i went to the dealer to get my money back and i was like is that my car? they said no, it has options.. you want that one instead??? i was like wtf you guys trying to pull a bait and switch on me? forget it, got my money back and left. but if you get your car i congradulate you

 

thats awesome , did you try any other scion dealerships, maybe they would've offered more?

 

*hehe*

I vote nay, he's not going to get it tommorow. Pushing my wager, your not getting it this week either. *haha*

Let the poll begin. :D

 

We'll see, the guy I dealt with was pretty straight up, and it was a cash deal, so they better move on it, I have confidence I'll get it tomorrow or Wednesday, just watch guys.

 

Good luck. When I was looking about for mine, place I first went to told me 2 weeks max. Turned out to be closer to 3 months. It is luck of the draw though on when you end up getting with yours but be prepared to see excuses when they start acomin.

 

1 month minimum

 

The vehicle is already in port, and should be arriving at the dealer tonight. It arrived in port on sunday.

 

yeah they kept tellin me that.. "anyday now, it was at port over a week ago" i was like cut the excuses... give me my money lol good luck

 

don't you guys just hate run-arounds. that goes with everything - repair shops or dealerships. i've always had bad experiences with repair shops. i once had a repair shop tell me every week for 3 months "your truck will be ready next week". too many jerk offs. i just want to know the truth

 

Just for all you doubters out there, I am picking my SSM Tc up at 4 pm, YAH!

 

4pm next month

 

today actually

 

dude the only way to get a tC...i tink is keep callin dealerships...i found my car w/ srs and fogs i didn't want but i got it neways...cuz it wook me two days to find it...after my 25th dealership call....my fren whos also on this side found his in 2 weeks (he's more picky about wat he wants on his car)....mines IIP his is Flint Mica...just call all over the place an pick it up when they have it...i itnk it's tha best way...dealers will hustle you in w/ that port ____...but they have no control...the cars get allocated randomly...the only person who known nething is the fleet manager...just call and ask for the fleet manager. that person will let you kno wat they have and wat they're getting w/....(inside tip from my fren in the car business)

oh and u gotta pick it up that that day...these babies sell like hotcakes...

 

one day? wow, I waited one week for mines.

 

got mine back in july...last one on the lot.... :D

 

Ok, you guys, it is true, I waited exactly 5 days from talking to the dealer to picking up my brand new SSM Scion Tc! I picked it up this afternoon at 3, and put 50 miles on it already! I can't wait until past 1000 miles, then I can have some REAL fun! I love my Scion!!!!

The deal I got is seeming better and better as I read this forum. I was looking online and found a post for a tC with 6k miles for 14k. I went to the dealer that night and had the car the next day. Dealer said I called 2 hours after it was posted and in the hour it took me to get there he got 3 more calls. Car is in perfect shape, prev owner broke it in 4 me

 

I never liked used and abused stuff... I rather pay a bit more just have it brand new.
