Take a wild guess...How much?

 
$5K!!!
Come on! Trans and engine still worth double even with the mileage! LOL

$5,000? Your Scion tC is worth more than that! How many miles are on it? It's worth more like $14,000, I would think. What do you think it's worth?

103k...in great shape still. I should least be offered $8,000-ish. Just checked, trade in values on Blue Book. $8,160. If I was to sell it privately; $10,790. A dealership's asking price; $13,540.
 
Come on now! My two year old tC STILL has the "New Car Smell!" Not much but still does....
 
Sorry Carmax...I know the "Trade in" tricks! I wasn't trading in my '94 Ford Probe with trans problem for stupid $250.00. LOL

I couldn't remember how many miles you had on your Scion tC. Well, $8,000 it is, then.
 
I am used to late-model tC quotes. I sure see a butt-load of Scion tC's on the road in Tucson, AZ. They love them there, as they should. It is one hot looking automobile!

On new tires....
 
Got stuck paying 155.00 per a tire. Winter tires! The tire shop only had two BF Goodrich in stock. And I didn't want to get stuck with worn down tread by next month with going with the same ones I had last year.
 
Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme
 
I guess these are from a company that is claimed to be "Cadillac of Tires."
 
I sure felt the difference within a second! They are such a quiet winter tire. When April comes around....I better have 1,500 stashed somewhere for a tire & wheel package.

I just blew $149 a tire on new tires for my '08 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS. They are Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S Pinna's. They take my town's street bumps much better. I had an alignment done and my toe and camber were way off. The cars steers straight now.
 
Also, the P-Nero Zero's give off way less road noise on all surfaces. Italian-based Pirelli makes a great tire!
 
Congrats on your new tires, too!

I guess I'm the lovable kind person after all.....
 
Monday, I woke up at 11:00 am for no reason. Decided to stay up a bit and go to the dealer for some oil filters. Sales stops me and fires questions about the tC in the snow. I answer back. Went to parts and got some filters. Walked back and all of sudden Bullitt's saleswoman greeted me with "Did you get my Christmas card?" I look at her while noticing she seemed very happy. "No not yet" with smile back. She asks me "So how is the tC in the snow? I never driven one yet.." I tell "Okay, but I wouldn't recommend buying one during a snow storm. You just have to learn how to drive it." So anyway, she asked me "Hey, you want to get something to eat?" I said "Okay." We had lunch together with couple of her co-workers. We talked about each other's employers and interests. I bought hers while offering to buy theirs but they declined. She sure is a woman who found her "Fountain of Youth."
 
I learned how much that woman is even more fun outside those walls LOL I guess this recession is giving her some security with customers like me.

LOL
 
Now its 52 degrees. All the snow is melting. Funny thing is, I was at the ATM today. And as I was about to drive off...I clipped the median quite hard! I automatically got worried. Went to get gas; checked the tire. NO DAMAGE whatsoever. I would of damaged something else with other tires but not these. I think I'm in "tire love" LOL

#1999 of 2039 Excellent, andeet... by iluvmysephia1

I know about loving tires, I love my new Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S(mud + snow) Pinna's, too! I feel ready to take on the elements, come what may! Glad you survived the hit on the median!
