traded my camo over the weekend for a 06 salsa red

camo hit 67k, parents were looking to buy an economical car. so instead of them buying an extra car, i traded mine in.

they would have kept mine and used it, but it was a manual and my mother cannot drive a manual.

here the pics, they are cellar phone pics



thats how many miles i put since feb 04.


as i took her off the lot thats what she had



i know my windows are/were dark :ninja:


thats the new one. i allready swapped the black grille onto the salsa red. waiting to throw on the strut bar i took out from the last one.

bye bye to my manual box

:o

more importantly this leaves me car less, which means a new car for me in the near future. ill probably pick one up next spring / early summer.

im hopin to have this by next year, i dont need a car right now because ill be moving in with my bro. my motorcycle is at his place, and if i need to drive a car i can always use his.

 

nice to see people trade vs leaving.....

 

the box is here to stay in our family. its a great car from any angle

 

Mmm... Salsa... Congrats on the new box, dude!

I'm just wondering - Did you have any *serious* issues with your camo box @ 67k miles? meaning, was the car as tight at new as it was at 67k miles? any vibration sounds after that long of use? any engine/tranny related stuff @ that many miles?

I hope you have fun in the new box dude!
- sh00k

 

what did you have to pay after the trade in?

 

nothing wrong with the box at trade in, well besides the shocks. i think after 67k the ride got quite bumpy.

i got kbb trade in value for my box. which was 8500. not too shabby considering the lower lip was cracked, there was a nick in the hood about the size of a quarter, and door dings here and there. the front end basically has to be re-sprayed before selling the car onto the next consumer.

but whoever buys it, will be getting a pretty good deal.

 

the options on the new box inckude vehicle care package, arm rest, mats, and cruise control.

i really wanted zero options, but considering this was allready on the lot i didnt feel like waiting on order for one. losing value in my trade in hte mean time

 

How much did you pay for the New Box??
I just ordered mine on Saturday waiting for delivery on July 27th.

Just wanted to Compare.
I paid $16,118.52 OTD price. No options. Just the very base you can get. I got the 5spd in Polar White.

 

i think mine was 16,9 before tax and tags.

in 2004 the box was 15 somethin inlcuding the options i got at the time, but it was also a 5spd

 

hell yea good to see more salsa reds out there , good choice i must say

 

sweet. salsa red is nice.

 

Congrats on the new color...Glad to see you stayed with the Scion family!

 

AH-H-H, the E46 M3 !!! My dream. I want one so bad. Especially with the SMG tranny. Thanks for ruining my day

 

im on the looks for mine, that lsb just attracts me to it

 

sweet! my box is racking up that mileage like crazy..only a year and a half old and at 42k mi. Its good the car stayed nice and tight the whole time. But...Guess i gotta look for shocks in the near future..
