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?
Dealer ship finally got my TRD exhaust and spoiler in today for my '08 and installed........the exhaust makes a big differance........sweet sound.......butt dyno says it runs a bit smoother and flows better........and not really ricey at all in the sound.........my neighbors now think I am insane polishing the damn thing at 8pm.......condos suck..........
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.
had the car for a lil more than a week now.
2007 Flint Mica... 5 Speed... stock....



the car isn't bad at all. really best bang for the buck. i got mine $600 below MSRP(yes u can haggle a lil!)
don't really plan on doing any major mods but i do want a short shifter, a lip spoiler and a lil lower suspension. oh yeah... HID's too.

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
Yeah I think I am stuck just dreaming about tC's (Hopefully I can find someone who wants to buy it for 17 to 18 thousand through private)......man if I knew then what I know know...but trust me when I say I will NEVER EVER buy another American made car

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?
