Default I really want a scion TC... Alaska- help?

I dont know what is good or bad, I found this on craigslist though

is this a bad deal? KBB values is at 11.4 but you guys would know better than anyone else if this is worth it you think if its nice in person. what are issues that I need to worry about maitanance wise? whens the next servcing needing done im guessing 60kish and how long will it be good for after? estimated cost for the service?

it is probably horrible for winter- so winter time i would be driving a subaru outback.Any advice, i appreciate it really, not much selection for me here..

for a first time car buyer- never spent this much on a car.. are they worth it? do you believe they are a really decent bang for the buck. I want a sporty car, i like the looks, i hope they drive nice and easy to maintain.

i would say that is worth it.

you just need to drive slow in the winter time. they aren't great since it's a sports car, front wheel drive.

maintenance isn't bad. i get oil changes every 5,000 miles.

We get feet of snow here, multiple feet. I wouldnt risk the others around me driving. I have 2 subaru outbacks (gf and i both have one) which is good all year round, i just. Want a scion, need I say more? lol. Summer cruising with sun roof, good looking car.

I am waiting on a 13,000 check to come in next 2 weeks, if its still for sale going to pay him a visit and see if we can work out a deal. if its clean, and i mean clean i'll give him his asking if he doesnt give. im 21, so yeah. tired of driving 98 year cars.. I kind of wish it was blue/or silver though. Really did the brighter colors, since its a picture can anyone tell me what color the car is in that picture? it looks purpleish with black rims.

can anyone tell me its color, and it says *lip kit* on it, is this a sport model or anything?

heres my winter driver ill use in winter.

lip kit is just added to the bottom of the bumper. lip kit thread, what you see there is what the lip kits

the "black rims" look like the alloy rims that the scions come with just painted black.

i believe the color is black cherry pearl (3p2 paint color number)

That car you showed is missing the front lip on the lip kit. It has the side skirts and maybe the rear lip.
The car might be a dark blue. (blue ribbon metallic I think)

i wonder where the front lip kit went.. i dont want to call and bother him without having my funds right now to wheel n deal.


i personally wish it was BRM over BCP after googling images, i really love the BRM color on our cars. but both are pretty. and wish it had silver rims, how much are the stock silver rims as opposed to the black ones?.
