Default Ugliest, Most Overpriced tC EVER!!!!!!!!!

Just came across this on ebay. Make sure you look at ALL the pictures slowly and really let it soak in how overpriced and ugly this car is. (and is it just me or does the paint on the front bumper not match the white on the rest of the car. It looks like a really light blue). IMHO THE UGLIEST tC i have seen in a long time. and 40K???????? ouch, i feel bad for the buyer

overpriced, ugly, and possibly a scam. notice their is a bid on it by someone named bidder1. this is a common scam on ebay. they use their personal bidders to bump up the pricing.

Perhaps they should look up the definition of a gullwing---maybe it would be worth 29K if it had those instead of lambos.

Actually it ain't that bad. The wide body kit would be set off with the right wheels. The wheels are just to small and an ugly style. To really set off the car, new bigger wheels with lower profile tires. A nice drop to get rid of that wheel gap. And a price change. I dont see how the mods they did can add up to $40,000. I think a price of around 25-26k is more reasonable.

... Gross.

The doors don't even appear to open evenly. 30k for the car and probably another 10k to make it look decent.

The widebody is alright w/ me, but those bumpers are pretty scary. The wheels could be better to. And the price? No freakin' way.

Amen on the Gullwing doors comment. Get it straight, retards! That is the most disgusting back of a kit I think I've ever seen on any car. It's like 4 acres of ugly ___ fiberglass with the most retarded, afterthough exhaust cutouts possible.

Wheels look retarded as well. I wouldn't drive that if you paid me.

Ugly.

More about ebay...
Bid safely: eBay limits how your bid history information is displayed by using anonymous names. When the highest bid, reserve or Buy It Now price on an item reaches or exceeds a certain level, other members cannot view your member-specific information—such as your User ID—on the Bid History page. Your User ID is shown to the seller of this item only. Bidders are assigned anonymous names, such as Bidder 1, which are used consistently throughout the bid history for an item.

Regardless of the current high bid, when the reserve or Buy It Now price is initially set at or above $200.00, your User ID will appear as an anonymous name throughout the duration of the auction, even if the seller lowers the price.

Note: Anonymous names may appear more than once in the bid history and may represent different bidders from different auctions.

Yeah, I don't see how the mods on that car could possibly bump it up to 40k either, especially considering the fact that after market parts (unless purchased through the make/dealer and covered under warranty) depreciate the value of a car. Body kits suck, they only get bumped up, scratched, and dinged. And that sound system set up in the trunk is outrageously stupid, maybe if it weren't so pointlessly in the way it would be better. Scissor doors are such a mistake, those things have to be aligned so much to keep them working like new. It looks too chunky, not to say the body work is shabby or anything, it was done very well, it's just that it no longer resembles a tC, I'm sure that 1 bid is a fake bid, and if it's not, than some poor unfortunate soul is wasting a lot of money when they could buy 2 tC's for that price.

"Scion" is misspelled on his license plate. I'm having a hard time getting past that...

Well...it's not THE ugliest tC i've seen...plenty more such as the rockstar tC or the "shark" tC...but for an automatic, 135whp, all show/no go, car...that only cost probably 35k total to build including the price of the car...CRAP!!!!
It would be worth, IMO, probably about 27k at the most. It's still slower than mine...a lot uglier than mine...and i'm only at a grand total of 26k total spent. If somebody actually buys it...well, then we ask, "who is the bigger idiot!"
