hey guys just wondering if any of u people traded in ur auto tC for a stick and what was the difference in price and stuff.. plus i did some work on my tC like subs and amp but i can always take those out but i painted my scion logos black and two of my rims are scratched .. will this affect the vaule?? thanks for the help guys!!

 

good choice going to the manual. much more fun. the manual will be cheaper too. some of those things you did might increase the value depending on who you sell too. Some younger kid my be more interested in the stereo setup than others.

 

see i dont kno to sell it myself or trade it in to the dealer cuz the dealer near me has like 3 manual tC?? is it worth it to trade it in at the dealer??

 

Go get a quote and then decide from there. It wont cost anything for a quote on trade in. just dont let them talk you into it until you are ready.

 

u guys are a great help!

 

the tc keeps its value incredibly well. i traded mine in with 13,8xx miles for $15.5k. i had scapes on the passenger side door and handle, and curb rash under the front bumper. if you don't mind the hassle, you may be a bit more selling it yourself.

 

^^^ and u traded it in at a toyota dealership??wow! how long ago?

 

actually no, i traded it in at a nissan dealership about a month ago.

 

so do u guys think toyota would give me a good deal??im gonna go this weekend, but just wanted to see what u guys think?

 

why are you trading it in? Are you trading it in for another tC manual? Or a totally different car?

 

I beileve he said he wants to get a manual tC.

 

I went to the toyota dealer and asked about this. They apraised it and said if i brought my car back to stock they would give me 15,000-16,000. Its an '06 with about 12,000 mi. I have too much time and money put into my car already its not worth the trouble imo. I was going to do it but when i thought about how much stuff i would have to take off and put back on/redo i decided not too.

 

This seems to be quite a dilemma. People buy an auto and then want a stick. I regret it everyday.

 

hate to be a dick, but you should have considered all your options before you bought your auto tC.

I have an auto tC because there's no way in hell I'll drive in the traffic I drive in with a stick.

 

i needed a car quick so i took someones elses tC they ordered but didnt want it anymore..and the dealer didnt kno if it was auto or stick when it came it was a auto i asked them how long it would be for a stick and they said i will have to wait another 3 months and i already waited for 3 months lol thats why i took the auto

 

maybe I am the only one, I actually thinking about the opposite haaaa I want to swap my IIP MT to auto. Am I crazy??

 

i kinda of regret getting a stick, when i'm in traffic and when i'm stopped on hills and the dude behind me is on me. and when i drive a passenger around with me and they are sensitive to the swaying motion of shifting
also, i wonder how long the tC tranny will hold up, i'm really hoping for no major synchro problems down the road.

however, i love being able to control my car and it really makes driving fun most of the time

 

i have my stick and iam glad that i got it no other way!

 

Big thumbs up on switching to manual.. very good choice.

The tC is very boring automatic.

 

if your worried about the resale value, take the system out (and put it in the new tC), and get new emblems for like 20 bucks and there all set.

good luck with everything, (i love my manual tC)
