well i work at the dealership, i could knock a few grand off the price of the STI to begin with thenclean up the tC real well put it back to stock repaint the front bumper (where i scraped from being lowered) and just get it nice and cleaned up i could get about 15k because im good like that so there i got the STI to the price of a tC. then save up a couple more grand and get teh payments nice and low so that i can comfortably afford it, STAY away from Subie forums like i fell for scionlife (not that this place is a bad thing, but it def sucks the life outta you... i mean look i have 8000+ posts in a little over 2 years... thats pretty bad )

try not to mod the STI (other then exhaust and coilovers i wanna hear the STI and take advantage of its superb handling) and save for a ring/house/family and finish school :D

 

I think you got it figured out

 

sounds like an awesome plan to me. Good luck man!

 

I'd say keep the tc and mod it because support for them is only growing and they are sick cars, but at the same time if your bored with your tc then why keep it? I do like the sti's and the evo's but I see a lot of people out there with them. Half of me would rather have a car that I have to work to build up, But on the other hand itd be easier just to have an awd turbo car . As I see it I don't see very many tc's except for every once inna while, And the ones who are actually seriously modding their car are fewer and far between. I guess i'm just a fan of being an underdog and using what everyone tihnks is slow to beat them. An sti you buy fast, but making a tc fast would be fun, IMO.

 

just pay off the tc and save up for the future (wife, house, kids, etc) good luck man!

 

Mod the tC, I HATE sti's..

 

Sti's are cool... but evo's are better. . I do agree that the 08's are ugly as anytihng you can tihnk of tho...

 

tC for teh win.

 

I dunno every day i debate on wether i want to trade my car or what lol. I work at a BMW dealership as an apprentice tech so i know how u feel with the money thing.
