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.....

ur right, sorry, if u owe 19K and the car's value is 12K then ur upside down 7k

What I did was look around the forum and at pictures and certain links people advertise in their signature. This has helped me a lot in what I want to do with my tc but I'm still unsure about some things. Haha hope that helped.

I would suggest staying away from the factory installed "interior lighting". It is highly overpriced and won't match your eventual color scheme. You can spend under $15 buying either cathodes or LED flex strips and make your own interior lighting just what you want. There is a lot of helpful information on here about interior lighting, so definitely do some searching or ask around. We'll all help you out. :D But save your money, DO NOT GET THE FACTORY INSTALLED ONES!! Lol.

what do everyone think of the black projector headlights that can be put on the tc... im thinkin that will be my first move... if anyone has seen them in real life, let me know how they look. i also looked at a site that had them listed at 339.99 but on ebay you can do a buy it now for nearly 200 bucks cheaper...
