Toyota Corolla to Scion tC

How much do you owe and how much is it worth?

This site is more geared for dealers.

Don't know about this one. Since the dealer I work for uses it, I would guess it's geared for dealers. Under the Used Car section at the bottom it says "What's my car worth, and then gives year and then model. An LE is worth about $8500 according to them, but it didn't give any adjustments for mileage or condition.

Hint: Clean it VERY well before trading. The cleaner it is, the more you can squeeze out of them.

If you are so inclined, you could easily sell it yourself. Take it to CarMax to get a baseline price. I would think a Corolla would be highly desirable today - especially to someone who owns a Suburban.

Since your Corolla is only a year old (assuming that you bought it news), you're probably going to take a big hit if you trade it in. You may be better off trying to sell it since those cars are in high demand currently due to its fuel economy. Try to see what the dealer is willing to offer you first and see what they're selling for around your town.

Consider these things: What is missing in the Corolla that you're hoping to get in the Scion? Are you looking for better stying, sportier feel, or what? Does the tC have it? Are you willing to sacrifice a bit more on insurance, more on fuel cost, and a bit more on tires for it?

I test drove the car and they're fun little cars. It reminds me a lot like the last generation of the Honda Preludes (without the VTEC engine). They're especially great tooling around town. The list of standard features is great. I suspect it would probably get around
