only a year old, had 12k on it, and was in damn good condition.
however, I think I came out on top with this deal 
they didn't even sell it to anyone, some girl who works at the dealership bought it before they had the chance to put any word out 
to be honest though, a 5 spd black tC is pretty hard to find, at least here in Houston and the surrounding areas.... a 5 spd tC in general is pretty rare, none of the scion dealerships have any |
Sort of like a meticulously restored Yugo. Yeah it's rare, but who cares? Anyway, if that's what people want, it's a good thing you came out ahead. It's pretty rare to even break even off a newer car like that. |
i suppose you have some learning to do about the automotive market

well, considering it's an LS1, one would hope it wouldn't be smoking...

| Damn... KBB lists it at around $17K for a like-new 5-speed. I guess they're worth more than I thought. |

Disneyland will take your Yugo! They use them for stunt cars.
And yeah, that's such a deal to sell your new car for a profit. I know I wouldn't be in that situation if I was to sell the Mazda 6 we have....

I thought they used them for the Roger Rabbit Taxi Ride thingy...
its kind of rare to sell one for a profit, but I'm glad I did... much happier with what I have now, and much more excited about things with it
