im going to buy my scion in the next few weeks..my question is if i decided i didn't want an accesory when i bought the vehicle (lets use led lights as an example). if i decided a few months later that i wanted the led lights would they order them and install them for me?

 

yes, but they will most likely charge you too much.

but you can order them yourself, and most are easily installed by yourself or with some helpful friends.

 

definately. think about it. do you want to pay interest on an accessory (sp?)? You'll end up paying it tri-fold.

as for friends to help out. check out one of the clubs (Scikotics!)....but i'm a little biased....LOL

 

hey, i financed some of my accessory stuff!
but my interest rate is pretty low and my final amount paid is only like 2k in interest or so

 

2k total for the car and upgrades? Dang dude....killer credit...LOL

I used to have that until my ex-wife KILLED it

well....whatchagonnado?!

 

yup 2k in interest for the whole thing.

 

if i were to buy the led lights after i got the car how hard are they to install? do i have to take out the whole center console to put in the cup holder lights? and does it work by a switch?

 

Every accessory I have purchased came with pretty good instructions. I used my $50 Scion gift card to get the b-pillar trim and it came with, if I remember correctly, 4 pages of instructions. All I had to do was clean the b-pillar, peel the paper off the back of the trim, and stick it on. Like I said, very detailed directions. My shift **** was the same. Several pages to tell you to unscrew the old one and screw on the new one.

It isn't very hard to take out the center console. And like Scionara_tC said, you should be able to find someone or a club in your area to help you with mods. Good luck.

 

see if you dealer has deals, the accessories i got that didnt wanna install aka strut, way, dimming mirror, and springs.......they dealer gave me a good ___ install price for them

dont know if every dealer does this and if they do.......oops

 

Scion dealers are supposed to be selling the accessories for the price that it shows on the Scion website...no more and no less. It's part of the "Scion Covenant"

 

Yeah..and we do. But go look up how much struts or springs cost. Thats just the cost for tha part..not the installed price. Installation may vary dealer to dealer.

 

^^^yea, those prices may not include installation!

 

the way i saw it when i bought my scion a couple weeks ago was: if i wanted the accessories, might as well get it and have them install it at port so i don't have to pay installation price... i don't trust myself enough to install something on a brand new car. and i'd rather have port install it for me instead of the dealers b/c the port's job is to install these things so they should know how without mess ups. i might be giving the port too much credit, but still should be safer than the dealer. sometimes i think dealers just don't know anything about their products...

but you can do either way. it is more expensive getting upgrades from dealer even without installation price. i spent over 2000 on accessories... why so much? 18" rims...

 

actually you can get the scion upgrades at or below cost from several websites.

 

*sigh* i wish i figured that out before i bought my lip spoiler for around 380 at the dealership It just made me feel so much worse knowning some websites were going for under 300, but o well.

if i buy the led lights for the inside from one of the websites that is selling them for cheaper for the $250 through scion would scion still install them for me? and if they didn't would that void some type of warranty that i have?

 

and as a followup..what are the websites that are selling the scion stuff below the cost on the website?
