I hope you've at least called them by now to see if they have any status?

I'm getting my 08 later this month and I've been checking on this site to see what were some creative ways people did to their tC. I really want heated leather seats but I don't think they can do that maybe just the leather. Where do you think I could go to to get power seats? There are so many places but it's hard to really find one that you can rely on. Any suggestions?

Well let me introduce myself as a new 3.0 release tc owner. My wife and I traded her 05 Matrix Xr in for it on June 30th. The car has more room then we thought anf the color sold my wife. So now I have to get a new car myself because she has the fastest car. LOL! I look forward to moding this car like my 04 Corolla S In fact the HID's are on the way already. I can't wait to lean more about this car and i look forward to being a TC owner.

Should I get an 08 or 07? I would prefer to get the latest model but what do you guys think? You can still do the same custom changes right?

theres some minor changes bet the 07 and 08. its really ure preference. u might have a lil to choose from if u want an 07 just because the 08's are out. (well, i guess it depends on ur local dealers) i just like the projectors headlights and the premium audio on the 08.

I am thinking about trading in my xB for an 07 BSP tC. Really want to, but not quite sure.

Keep the pics coming though!

So I am thinking about getting one.....my friend said this is the site to convince me.....I loving it already. Just sucks that my Pontiac g6 gt has a terrible trade in value. I paid 24,000 (Regular 27,000) for a brand new 2005 model fully loaded (thanks parents GM discount). I had preapporval for a Scion and passed it up for that peice of crap....I found out that my trade value is only worth 12,454 (I still owe 19.208 on it)and thats with less than 41000 miles....I only had it for a year. Now I have come to my senses and am trying to get the car I should have gotten.

I know the back-end is going to kill me and it may delay me getting one for the moment but I fig I still join and get all the info from the "real folks" that have one.

So does anyone got any advice on how to work with the finance office??

ur upside down $19k. that means if u finance a $19k scion, ur really financing $38K. thats alot! unless u can come up with atleast $10k down, OR make enough money/income to pay ~$800+(est) a month.
try to refinance the car and wait like a yr before treading the g6 in
or
find someone in the family to take over ur paymnets.
good luck.
i was in the same position as u so i can relate

But I thought they would take some off if they take it as a trade and put what ever I owe left on it on the back.....

The wheels that the dealership offer cost $1500 and I looked up those exact wheels online on toyota4u.com website (I think that's the name), the same wheels come out to be $892. I don't know if I should bring it up to the dealer and ask about that or if I should get cheaper and better looking wheels. What do you guys think?

Also, the lights that they offer either amber or blue.....I plan on getting amber but I'm going to change my guages to white guages and red needles and everything else white and red. Is that a good combo to mix or what? Any ideas?
