just thought id let you guys know, my car was sold as is to a guy at the dealership shortly after i left for a trip up to northern ohio on thursday... my step dad called me to tell me he sold it (i had no clue he was going to, didnt even get to say goodbye).. but then bought a Scion XA RS 1.0

if you are wondering why it got sold, its due to financial reasons cause that car was getting to be a complete money pit- on top of its high insurance costs.. it needed a new clutch, new tires, probably a new tranny actually... it was time according to my family.

reasons why i like the RS even before seeing it:
-5spd
-17" enkeis
-bright red (only 1500 RS's were made)
-moonroof
-"sport grille" w/ no scion badging on the front
-line fitting spoiler on the hatch
-NEW CAR!!!

reasons why i will miss my camry:
-now i have a 1.5L as compared to a 3L!
-back to the drawing board :/

what i had

what is coming tomorrow (sunday)

sad to see it go. be sure to keep us updated on your progress with the scion.

by the way, why no tC?

Sorry to hear.

Poor Camry, I like the color of it. Look at it this way, someone might have the money to fix her up and someone will love her.

But Congrat on your new scion.

thanks!

its a little thing called money lol.. the xA will probably be a lot better than the tC will ever be for useability... the hatch and 4doors make it a much more friendly campus car. although i would still have been uber-psyched with a tC

Damn I'd be pissed if that happened to me.

Enjoy the Scion!

sry to see the camry go

cman2000 · 01-01-2005, 02:06 PM

you had a nice camry there

too bad you didn't even take it for one last spin

the xA is pretty sweet too. keep us updated on what mods you put in there

btw, you said you sold the camry to the dealership... was it as is? in your opinion, did they give you less bec you modified your camry? just curious for future reference..

Personally, I like the xB better, but the xA is still hot

Baeutiful, me and my fiancee were looking at Xa's until she lost her job, we had our eyes on a phantom grey with rims and spoiler. Test drove it too, those suckers have pick up for having like what, less than 100 Hp.

dna59 · 01-01-2005, 03:17 PM

That's the first xA i've seen that I actually like.

Sad to see the camgo though.

the past 3 days i have been scouring the scionlife forums.. finding out anything i can about performance and stuff like that. it seems like the car has a lot of choices for forced induction.. most of them giving the 108bhp car a 50% power increase (boosting it to about 150bhp). keep in mind this car onlly weighs 2300lbs. it runs a 15 flat in the 1/4mile with one of the kits.

i might get the trd springs installed by the dealer, to keep all warranties in tact since its brand new. when i find a graphic design internship, i will buy the car from them and make the car run 15s- keeping the exterior exactly the same.
