Default Traded my tC for.............................

I traded my Super White tC in for a Azure Pearl tC ;) I must like tC huh?

I will probably trade this in for the RS 1.0 tC

Any differences beyond the color of the tC's you traded?

YEP!

7K less miles, mine had 13K this one has 6K plus the AP has the following already (DIFFERENT FROM THE SW)

6 disc
tC Sub
Door Sills
Shift **** and sport pedels
Auto Dim Mirror (Pretty SWEET!)
Floor mats and cargo mat

TRD Springs
TRD Exhaust

18in Chrome wheels

Plus certified warranty

Like the color myself, just as much as SW.

ONLY missing the Pedestal Spoiler (which once on the SW I didnt like it)

Congrats Jocappy..

Good luck with your AZ Pearl baby..

But I will say this.. I think the difference in mileage is negligable .. I mean after all this is a Toyota we're talking about here.. they'll run forever and a month if you take care of em..

I've thought about selling or trading my Super White.. I'm massively dissapointed in the color..

look through some of the color preferance threads..

Super White is near universally thought of as the worst color for tC..

Its a full time job to keep clean.. paint chips show up like a sore thumb on them the primer under the paint is black.. and they are generally considered bland, plain and vanilla and need massive mods to look even close to as good as any of the other colors..

I had a polar white xB i traded in recently but i went with a mr2 spyder instead.

the problem i had with the white was it would get metal specks or whatever on it and look like tiny rust spots, and they were a _____ to get out. and i just didnt care to deal with that.

i dunno what the value for trade in on the tC's are but i only loast about 1k or so from the base price of a xB, so if i was trading it in for a dif color the loss would have been unimportant.

I got 15,450 for my tC in trade in. I had a payoff of 13,35x.xx I paid 16465 for the car, so I lost $1000 plus I put a spoiler on it. So I really didnt lose at all. All cars lose value. That is why it is nice to work for a dealer..

good move. the SW looks good, but AP looks better. Especially when the sun hits it (you do get sun in Wa right?)=).

I dont know, I really like my SW. I ordered it and waited 4 weeks just becuase I wanted white only. On the other hand I like the looks of the Azure, but it comes off too girly for me. And I really like blue cars, but it is just too light/powdery for me. No offense. I agree about the rock chips, but I hardly agree that it is "universally thought of as the worst color for tC". Either way, glad you got what you really wanted.
