That sucks man. I figured I rather finance it and get it all on the car off the bat then go through the trouble of buying it and getting it installed.

if you want the lip kit get it. thats a nice option imo. alot of the other stuff is cheaper on sites like trdsparks.com etc.

are your 08 tails sold yet by chance?

Shadrock in the thread said he definitely wants them, but I still haven't gotten my car. I'm gonna pm him when I get it, should be this week. If he backs out they will be back up for grabs.

i would disagree and say dont finance the lip kit, youll overpay.
thats how they get you, sure the cars are purepricing...because they make all their money on the aftermarket parts.
i got my lip kit from another user on here. factory painted and brand new for $750 shipped.
just look in the classifieds on here, theres so many awesome deals.

yeah, just get the car - don't finance any accessories...

you'll be paying more for them in the long run...

Agreed. Do not buy anything from the stealership for your car. Hell, don't the basic floor mats cost like $30? Scion is NOT a label that you pay for.

In reality, if you finance the lipkit for 5 years at 5.9% interest you pay a whopping 70 dollars more on it

Really, if you want accesories finance them, but don't go overboard. When you get them with the car they are covered under warranty.

im guessing your saying $70 more than what you would pay if you just bought it straight out from the dealer.

but if you buy it from someone on here you can save anywhere from $100-$500 or so on it.

Yeah but then you have to go through the trouble of installing it yourself which takes time and money.
