i would have just said get the o9 because the tC is going to be a rare car in the next couple of years..I think Scion is going to replace the tC.

 

Well, we know they will replace it. Toyota typically ends models after 3-5 years or so. However, with hundreds of thousands of them on the road already, they wont be rare any time soon

 

unless somehow every single stock tC gets blown to pieces and only the few really nice modified tCs get left alone..alone to rule the roads of the Scion Nation....

 

might want to wait until the 2010 tCs come out like others have said, but definitely make the transition to a manual tC if its what you really want. I did the same thing from 07 auto to 08 stick and love it! definitely do not regret the decision one bit

 

keep it. having no payments is a really nice thing.
