so i was driving by local Nissan dealership...yes i said nissan and i saw it..... #155 TC RS 1.0 ABS lip kit, TRD exahust, Hotchkis front sway bar, AEM oil cap, AEM battery tie down being that ima sucker for red i stopped to see how much...they started at 19,999 which i know is alot but then they went down to 18,500...so here it is they will take my ssm and 2500 my payment will be the same...so heres my question to you guys do i pull the trigger on the deal? i just so happen to have 2500 that i was gonna use to fix up the ssm anywayz so i would work out about the same....

 

$18.5k? That sounds pretty close to the new price. How many miles?

They're going to just turn around and sell yours for that much as well. RS1 means nothing to Joe Buyer.

 

19,000 mine has 24,000 it has 5,000 less than mine

 

I don't think I would do it... but if you REALLY want the RS1, it sounds like at least an easy transaction. Sounds expensive though for that many miles.

 

I would do it (if I had a "normal" tC ) I love my RS1 and it is worth every penny I have paid for it. Keep the RS1 in the hands of a Scion enthusiast instead of some rich family buying it for their bratty kid that just got their license and beating the crap out of it.

 

I would be extremely fearful of buying a used one with that many miles at a non-Scion dealer. You have no idea of how it was broken in, abused, etc etc etc. I know its very tempting, but you know you car and how you drive it.... you have no idea about that one.........why spend more?!?!

And you can always wait til they release 2007 RS 3.0 and trade in for new if you really want an RS.

 

Talk the price down more and Do it!

 

ok now heres the thing i mentioned that i had a 95 eclipse and the guy said to forget the 2500 and bring it in.....wat about the deal now??? the eclipse is in fair condition but i haven't drivin it since dec when i got my ssm...............so whos for a trade a ssm + dsm for a Rs 1.0 ........................and yes my town is small if i where to see some lil 16 yr old kid drivin it around ima be very very upset

 

No Deal! SSM tC + 1500 cash

 

no way, use that money to do what you want to your already owned tC. The only difference is a couple of minor things including that blinding red paint (no offense to RS1 owners). Powerwise and comfortwise...it's the same IMO

 

well i guess i would give yall an update...i went to turn on the eclipse today and i woudln't start when it finaly did it was givin me lots of problems..so ive decided im goin full go for the Rs 1.0 this eclipse has really been a pain to me....i love the red paint and fell in love with the grill and rims..not to mention the sound of the exhaust..so here it is i am on a mission to save RS 1.0 #155

 

good luck with that.

 

Good luck with your mission!
