Scion Announces Pricing For 2013 tC Release Series 8.0

TORRANCE, Calif., July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Scion announced pricing today for its 2013 tC Release Series 8.0 (tC RS 8.0). Only

2,000 of the specially equipped sports coupes will be made and they will be available at dealer showrooms later this month. The tC RS 8.0 will be on display in the Scion pit area at the next round of Formula DRIFT in Monroe, Washington on July 22-23.

The 2013 tC RS 8.0 commands attention as it comes exclusively in Absolutely Red exterior paint with contrasting gloss black side view mirrors and matching black 18-inch alloy wheels. The tC's aggressive exterior is further stylized with a unique five-piece body kit that was inspired by Troy Sumitomo of Five Axis that includes front and rear lower valences, side skirts and a rear spoiler.

To give the car even more attitude, the tC RS 8.0 comes with a couple of performance parts from Toyota Racing Development (TRD), including lowering springs and an exhaust system that is integrated into the center of the rear lower valence.

The interior of the tC features sporty seats that are wrapped in texturized black fabric with red stitching. The red stitching continues on the leather wrapped steering wheel. Each car comes with an individually numbered badge commemorating the unique model. When equipped with a six-speed automatic, the tC RS 8.0 features race-inspired steering wheel mounted paddle shifters for both sporty and convenient shifts.

The limited edition model will carry a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $21,815 and $22,865 when equipped with a six-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmission respectively. The MSRP does not include a delivery, processing and handling fee of $730. DPH fee for vehicles distributed by Southeast Toyota (SET) and Gulf States Toyota (GST) may vary.

My purpose in life, is not to buy the cheapest car I can find. I find the best value. I like Toyota Highlanders and I buy them 2 years old. It is foolish to buy new.

The reason people buy new is for the "New Car Smell".

I bought my 99 Camry NEW in 99. I still have it. I plan to STILL have it for another 4 years. It is NOT foolish to buy a vehicle new when one keeps it for "life". That makes depreciation totally irrelevant. One gets the new car smell WITHOUT being hosed by the sudden loss in value the moment the car leaves the lot.

My 04 Sienna purchased in Sept 03 is still going strong and runs like the day she was driven off the new car lot. I don't have any plans to get rid of her, I nicknamed her Hillary.
