I bought this car about 3 months ago at the Toyota dealership. I was just a 19 year old walking the lot and I saw the tC. Took it for a spin and loved it. It's the best bang for buck. It's fun, it's practical, reliable and it looks good. I just started modifying it. Excellent vehicle, would recommend to anyone for a first car.

@@CaliCarVlog Nice! When I got mine it had 35k on it and the dealer wanted 14k for it. I decided to put 7k down, low monthly payments and it's also helping me a ton to build credit. I've only seen a handful of 3rd gen tC's in my area. It was nice to hear from you!

Correction the first Generation TC is 5-7 Grand the TC2 11-13 models are 10-13 Grand the TC2 2.5 14-16 models are 14-20 grand. P.S. I'm currently financing a Blue Streak 2016 Scion TC Base model with the 6 Speed Manual Transmission. It's on my channel, it's bone stock but that's going to change soon. I plan to pay it off and go all out on modifications, making it my own taste and personality. Since I just bought it, I'll have to drive it for the first Winter till I fix my Camry. Then I'll be storing it, as I buy a bunch of Aftermarket parts and modify it. I'm gonna make it a show car. The 2AR-FE has the worse gas mileage the TC 11-16 is not good on gas I drive slow and my gas gauge goes from full tank, to half a tank. I only drive to work and to the grocery store.
