Scion TC

2006 Scion Tc $14,000 Possible Trade | Custom Import Classifieds | Import Sales

This is the car I have my eye on. Used, reasonably priced, modified, and cheap on insurance [On my own insurance its about 125 a month. Not bad at all]
30 miles to a gallon.
And there are very few of them around where I live. What do you all think?

Don't buy it, unless you're just that eager for a tC. It's VERY expensive for a tC that has over 63k miles, a wack ass billet grille and stupid TV screens in the headrests. Also, what's with the seller listing it at 195 hp when it comes with 160 hp from the factory?

There are better ones out there.

My personal opinion is that you'd be better off just getting a brand new one. A standard tC (which already includes a decent amount of goodies as included equipment) runs $17,670 (including destination charge) according to the official Scion website. Scions are good to buy new since they have pure pricing, meaning that they are sold at a price that is already discounted and cannot be altered up or down by dealerships, otherwise they get in a heap of trouble. (I used to work at a Toyota dealership.) But while dealerships can't markup their Scions, they do overcharge for any dealer-installed accessories, which is why you might go to a dealership and find a lot of their new inventory already sporting dealer-installed (not factory-installed) crap that they charge an extra $2k for, so if you want something extra, find one that has it from the factory (i.e., upgraded audio system or lip kit) or buy it on your own.

Scions are gay man. 19 grand? Get a used Acura TL. Reliability and looks good. And it's got the mileage. You know you want it. Redneck in an Acura. Pick up your "special someone" in it. Have tobacco stains on both sides of the doors.
