Don't get an 05-06 with a Supercharger unless it has the updated version and make sure if it is an 05-06 it has had the sunroof visor recall dealt with (plastic film on the back side). Otherwise its a great car and she should be very happy with it.

So she's decided on a '06 any way to describe the sunroof film recall?

Here's the only good shots of it on the website.

Can you tell anything?

no pics of the front? looks good from the only pics avail. i'd recommend her to get a 'certified' one at a toyota dealer at a similar price considering she'll get a longer warranty.

Eh, I was trying to get a pic of the back to see if anyone could tell if it had the recall done.

oo it's not the back of the car but on the wind deflector that props up when you open the sun roof.

Thanks for the info, we went and checked it out, she took some pictures of it and i'll have to wait until she gets off work so I can post them up, the tC was a pretty smooth drive, more than I had anticipated, she didn't want to test drive it off the lot, so I had the pleasure of doing so.

I think her only complaint was, she didn't like the texture of the Dashboard, I've tried google, but nothing really comes up for oem replacements, any one here know of a custom site, or a fabrications works that does them in a different texture?
