Default Buy an 08 or wait for the updated seat fabric in 09

im decided what to do, though i called scion today and they said there are no'09's in the pipeline so the may release date was not true.

anyone else heard anything else?

im buying within the week if the 09s are not out just because im not gonna wait for just updated fabric

Wait for the 09, they are just around the corner. If you get an 08 now and the 09s come out a few weeks later your depreciation value will be really bad.

I have 2 on the way to my dealership now. They should be here in about a week and a half. They started allocating the 09 models in the middle of last month. I would definately wait just for the re-sale value. Think about it. In 2010, your 2008 model will be 2 years old but an 09 would only be 1 year old. It doesn't matter that you could have bought both of them in the same month....

Exact quote from the dealer release I got....

"The 2009 tC is equipped with all black fabric seats, a slight change from the silver highlighted seats found in the 2008 model. The tC Spec Package has been discontinued with the 2009 model year. 2009 model year production began April 1st."

In case you didn't know, the 2009 models are going to cost the same as the 2008 models also.

I'd wait for the 09s- I like the look of the all black seat fabric better and like everyone else said, think of the resale value
