I thought so. I am still waiting for a call from the dealer. I put in a message and they have not got back to me yet. When I bought my first tC they said they wouldn't finance it into the cost of the car but now that its been on the market for a while I thought it might have changed. Getting my new tC before the end of the month and I want it to feel completely different.

I was going to when I bought my 08. They told me that they couldn't but would take it out of my deposit. They were probably trying to make more money out of my purchase but who knows. I didnt end up doing it anyways... and im glad.

They do have financing for the supercharger, however it is separate from the financing for the car.
When I got mine, it was before that was announced, and mine was rolled into the financing for the car as an accessory lol

no personal experience with it, other than getting beat down by one back when the car was a week old that left me thinking "i don't want that to happen again....", so dezod hooked it up. I hear the 05-06 models SUCK due to pretty much everything you can think of having an issue. The 07-up models, however, i haven't heard many complaints. be prepared to void you warranty when you want more power though. the nst pullies are great but you have to jack up the bolt that holds the stock pulley on and bam, if the supercharger breaks, it's out of your pocket. there's a couple guys on here that reubild them though, way better than trd does, so there's that option. good luck man.

Yes there are many upgrades for the super charger, but you need to ask youself how much power you want from your car. Sometimes its more cost effective and reliable if you go turbo.

Well let's just say the supercharger is no way reliable. I always loved toyota for reliability, but sad to say Honda wins.
With the money you spend financing a supercharger, you'll probably spend enough money for a turbo kit and a half. =\

don't get a supercharger. its crap. not reliable too many issues, and to many horror stories about them.. SC is crap I wouldn't even waste money on that thing. that's why there discontinuing them and watevers left at the dealers are the only ones being sold nomore are being made

I think ur best bet is going turbo>supercharger. with a conservative tune and everything ull easily be around 250/260ish. and aslong as u have a nice low boost like 6/7psi ur golden with no problems ofcourse if everything is installed right tuned right etc.

toyota won't let you finance through them on the new vehicle as part of the vehicle sale.
but if you finance on your own, like through a credit union --- that's your work around.

See - I had my first s/c and because my car was stock I got a free charger when it broke. Then I did a bunch of work and i blew my engine and it wasnt covered. The thing is ..... I messed with my car. If it was stock I would have a new engine from toyota. Point being, if you only have X amount of money and arent going to mess with the car ....whats wrong with the s/c? You will have a warranty and if things break it will be covered. So how bad is that?
