I just put down a $250 deposit on a Black Sand Pearl tC. The dealer said the wait would be about 4-6 weeks. I ordered it bone stock with manual tranny. I plan to get everything else aftermarket.

I just put down a $500 deposit. The dealer said he found me a Flint Mica 5 speed, but could only find one with side airbags.. I didn't really want the side air bags, but hopefully it'll help out my insurance premium.

Only reason I'm putting down a deposit so soon (before even seeing the car in person) is because I sold my car more quickly than I thought, and now I need something to drive

I put a depost down on a silver 5-speed. I am really happy. :D I was worried I was not going to be able to get the tC. I was planning on getting a new car in about a year, but my Camry's transmission went out. I have had alot of things go my way. I got a low rate on my loan (3.75%), I got 3 times what I was expecting to get for my old Camry, and my parents are going to help me out some so I dont have so much to pay for in college. I still want to pay them back, even though they do not want me too.

Hey, welcome to the forum. Who are you buying from in San Francisco? I put a deposit down at Melody Toyota in San Bruno.

Put down the deposit right after the test drive, back around the 18th. Without even so much as a clue what they were alloted in the first shipment, I requested a flint 5spd. I get a call later that day: Theres one, repeat, only one 5spd coming, and its in flint mica. I never luck out on anything, and this happens.. must be fate.

They just got it in and I filled out all the paperwork today. Most likely I will have it by this weekend.

ordered:

Flint Mica 5spd
-security
-6 cd hu
-wheel locks
-mats

$500 down on a stock Flint Mica 5-speed. I'll wait on mods later considering aftermarket is almost always cheaper than dealer installed mods...although, I do like the idea of the TRD supercharger under warranty :D

6-10 week wait on my car though

$500 down on a Black Cherry Pearl manual with no side airbags. They said it should be in by the end of the month, it's expected to be at the port this week.

We didn't pick out options yet, but all of their cars (Newark Scion World) are coming in with nothing more than floor mats. I'll probably get the 6-disc, subwoofer, mats and maybe the 18"s. I'm also thinking about the amber under dash and cupholder lights (but don't tell anybody :oops: .)

TRD 18"s or the regular Scion 18"s? Did they give you a price?

Default tires

actually, the sales dude called me this morning and i'm stuck with the 17" stock, which aren't bad and also gives me the option to get the lowering springs.

he told me i could get all the options I wanted, so I did... the tires were the only ones he could'n't get.

he updated me on the eta of the car. I won't see it until the end of this month or beginning of August

My parents got me a tC for my 18th birthday, they wanted to get one with side airbags though so the dealer had to track one down and it should be here within 1-3 weeks.

New to the forum.. I paid the $500 deposit at Power Scion of Cerritos this last Friday. I'm soo anxious!!! Black Sand Pearl, auto, with no options. I've been calling everyday since then and answers have varied so much. Last week, they said a few days. Yesterday, they said Thursday. I called today and they said Saturday's the earliest.. What's going on? Has anybody else put a deposit down at Cerritos? I just sold my car today so I really need this tC!

Ordered my Flint Mica AT 2 days ago with no deposit from J. Pauley Scion in Fort Smith, Arkansas. I have a great salesman, he told me I didn't have to put the deposit down because I'm financing through my Credit Union and would be too much of a hassle to get the refund.
