i think they should give you an equal car, 06 if they have any or an 07, for an even trade. One of my dads friends had a problem with a ford truck, three years later it was declared a lemon for an oil leak and Ford had to give him a brand new truck for free! no tax license, nothing. But the lemon law here in california is really good. i dont know about where you are, but check the lemon law. they might have to give you a new car.

He still got a Ford though; a Ford Dealership is like having an orchard full of lemons.

Try to get an even trade no BS.

I would say trade it in. It would save you a hell of a lot of time, money, and miles on your car.

I don't know how dealerships in the mainland work as far as financing goes, but here on Maui, we don't mark up on interest rates. We're customer friendly, otherwise I wouldn't be working for Scion.

TRADE! I had a yellow VW Beetle, and you guessed it! It was a lemon, but VW would not work with me on it. Once I got out from deep upside down, I got out of that car and into an xB. I love the car, but what I love more it the fact that I ma not paying any more for a car that MIGHT work one day. It is amazing how much you enjoy a car when it doesn't die every other week.

I bought my car from Beaverton Toyota, and they did very little when I had rattle problems with my car. I'd suggest Toyota of Gladstone. I left my car there for 2 days and all the rattles were repaired. I forget the name of the service adviser, but it's a woman and I believe the only person who deals with Scions.

#3 - Toyota is not greedy, its the dealerships.

if your car is a lemon. then you should use the law in your favor. it is so rare that we get to do that, right?

here is a site that you might find helpful.

i am guessing you live in oregon.

i would take the deal the dealership is offering. that is just me. they should be able to fix it or make it right.

arbitration will get the problem solved.

good luck.

ps. you can always call toyota/scion customer care hotline...

Now that I think about it, if the dealer wants you to trade it in, chances are they will sell it to someone else. Think about it, the dealership would lose money if they take the car and not sell it just as used. It is Toyota, through lemonlaw, that would take the hit and you would get a new car, or at least a potion of a new car. If the dealership does a trade themselves, why would they trash a car? They would not take the few grand hit.

It smells like they just want another sale on a new tC and will sell this lemon to another person. Maybe find another dealership to work with.

Call Toyota/Scion. Its the best way. The dealership can not screw you and another person and you will get the money you deserve.
