Default fre 6 cd changer? ftw?

For a Limited Time with a new xA: Get a Free Pioneer 6-disc CD Changer
What?s better than an in-dash CD player? How about one FREE with your new xA! This 6-disc CD changer not only plays back your favorite music 6 times over, but it also plays back MP3's as well. That means up to 60 hours of music in your car. You can fine-tune the playback with the built-in DSP Sound Equalization and Scion Sound Processing to make your sounds mad crisp. And when you?re through with the CDs, remember, you can hook up an XM Satellite Radio to this as well... Go coast to coast and not miss a beat. This promotion is valid while supplies last so hook yourself up with an xA, and get ready to light those speakers up!

damn it! Gonna call my dealer!

I am in the process of buying an xA. I don't really need the upgrade, but will gladly take it for free! Where did you see this promotion? Is it Scion-wide, or just a local dealership?

Thanks!

I got a scionlife monthly email that had it...I also talked to a scion rep on the scion.com site and they said it was true... it's a limited run. But owners of xAs aren't eligible (!!! a-holes! lol)

It's true....all of our xA's in the last shipment had the complimentary 6 disc changer installed...it even says "complimentary 6 disc changer" right on the window sticker. I'd heard rumors they were going to do this to push xA sales before the 2005 models come out...I guess they are.

Pretty sweet deal, but those who already have xA's shouldn't feel shafted.

I have this in my xA.

I honestly haven't used it or the radio much. All my music is on my iPod and I haven't figured out how to hardwire it to this system.

And, 7 years of no radio in my car kind of made me "zen" about quiet drives.

Toyota decided there were too many xAs still unsold at the ports so they installed them for free on all new incoming units. The dealers are not charged for these. The thing that kills us is that we don't get any credits for the cars we already have on the lot.

Some dealers, like mine, have decided to suck it up and pay for the 6 disc in those as well. Its just to help us move existing inventory.

Put a Ken Style body kit on it and it will sell...!!!...I just got 3rd place Scion street @ Extreme Autofest...lotsa people would come up to me and ask about it if it was stock....The xA is kinda wimpy without it...but with the car built out, it transform to a really sporty tough looking vehicle and should sell itself based on the body kit...That's how longo toyota did it. ...

btw thanks for the props on the my pic post last week....

this reminds me of that story in the bible with the land owner. he hired people in the morning promising them a fair days wage. at noon he hired more people promising them a fair pay for their work. in the afternoon he hired more people and promised them a fair pay for their work. At the end of the day he paid them all the same. the workers complained that they worked more than the other, but they got paid the same. Then the owner said something like, I paid you a fair days pay, If I choose to give them more than that is my business.

Don't hate cause you didn't get a free 6-disk.

I know this is an old thread, but a few weeks ago when I was in the process of test driving xA`s, the automatic one that i was driving came with the free 6 disc player. HOWEVER, I drive manual and it didn`t come with it. I was like wtf. But then I remember when I had my 10 disc for my old car, I was too lazy to change my CDs. So maybe a one disc deal will suit me better.
They coulda at least threw in some free illuminating cup holders since I don`t get the 6 disc.........!

We got it with our xA, we demanded it, you should too, got back to the dealer and talk to the Sales Manager about it, they'll either give it to you OR explain why they can't , then go talk to the GM. If you complain enuff, you end up getting it.

Hell, some of the new 05 xAs have the 6 changer.

The dealer is probably stuck with a manual without a changer and is probably trying to stick you with it (or a dealer in your area).

Just tell them you want it.

If anything, you can rip the 6 out if you are not happy with it, sell it on eBay, then take the cash and buy something else.
