haha!!!

Did you come to CA to buy yours??

I heard of about 6 or so that did so.

That is pretty cool.

I thought it was cool having everyone break they're necks for 3-4months before more people ended up with more scions...

lol

A year and 3 months later, I still have at least one person a week asking me what type of car it is. "Is that an Element??" , I say "f#ck you" (JK JK)

lol

good ____

Scions kick ___
no-doubt!

I had a weird experience buying mine.. I decided I wanted one. I went to one dealership and looked around, the sales chick was super nice, wanted to buy one from her. Decided to wait a day and look at other brands. (dad works for chevy, didnt want a japanese car) Went to another Toyota dealership, looked around, the sales dude was super cool, taught me how to drive stick on a new xb, fully loaded, around the lot. Had to go home, work the numbers. Called him the next day, said, look, I want to come buy this tonite. He said okay I can do the papers, but it doesn't come out for another week, you cant drive it home tonite. I said nevermind, called around to 4 lots, two said they couldnt sell it to me yet, even though I saw some dude drive away in one two days before.

I called a lot, talked to some dude on the phone, really cool, said he would let me drive it home that nite. Went out there got stuck with a total putz. Lil rat looking kid. Hated, hated to give him the sale, just a crappy attitude. But.. I wanted the car. Bought it from him that nite. Called a buddy to come pick it up as at that point, I couldnt drive stick. Got it home learned that nite. The next few days had to go back in twice to re-sign the paper, cause the bean counter kept screwing things up. I think we went back a third time because of bad paperwork. They shoulda given me some free mats or something.....

I have been waiting for my PW MT XB for going on 9weeks now.
I had to get Scion involved and the dealer has made one of the worst experiences I have ever had.
It has now gotten to the point that i just want the XB out of spite!
The dealer has done nothing, with the exception of sucking ALL of the joy out of something I had been looking forward to for a long time.


sorry about the rant.
Hi, i am new

I got tired of waiting on my dealer and drove an hour and a half to another one that had my car. When I got there it looked like it had been sitting there for a few weeks also....Wish I had gotten more impatient sooner cause I could of had my car a few weeks ago instead of waiting a full month.


But alas...I got my car

Default Love my Scion, Loathe my dealer

Salesman told me 7-10 days. But, he needed a $500 deposit to order a thundercloud automatic. I put down the deposit and called him on day 7 to ask when it might show. "Any day, let me talk to the inventory manager". Long story short, this goes on every couple of days, until I speak to a sales manager and tell him I want my money back because I can get this car at another dealership 25 miles down the road. An hour later, they've got my ride. I don't get it! Don't you want the money? $400 dollar doc. fee, by the way. That's a helluva lot of paperwork.

Haha, there goes the whole concept of smooth and fast sales, AKA no hassle..

I don't get it..haha

sorry to hear about that wait man..

My car when I first saw it wasn't for sale, it was being held for a local radio station, coming to find out, while I was getting the numbers from John Park the salesman, which I'm still VERY good friends with, virtually family now, the radio station called and said they wanted another color, the blue one the dealer had at the port... So I lucked out

#5 xB sold to the public (exluding radio stations/businesses) in the Sacramento/Valley region... YAY

^^or so I'm told by my dealer and others.. :D

late.

-Tylor

btw, I've heard of quite a few others that had alot of snags through this SO CALLED no hassle purchasing program they had for the Scions.....SO you're not the first ;)....if that makes you feel any better..?? lol : :?

I waited 2 days because they needed to install the alarm and CD changer. The TRD wheels will take about 10 days to arrive, so they loaned me a set of hubcaps for now.
