I received that number from the Scion rep on the phone and the salesman I worked with at the dealership used the same number as well. I'm assuming the 3400 is only for the first 8 hours and 6 minutes, even though it seems they kept registration open outside of that window.

3.the 'bonus' items are really really really awesome...the one guy who got a hat and shirt has the best deal so far...haha i got a receipt for my deposit...not enough
4. some free TRD parts
5. 0% financing LOL

aside from that, meh, oh well i'm probably gotta buy it if the price is right, just like the rest of us, so might as well enjoy having the golden ticket for a while, even if its not to the chocolate factory...uh, whatever u know what i mean
Agreed on nearly every point. My preference is for TRD parts and/or the plaques, though I doubt that'll happen. So far there isn't really anything to sweeten the deal other than at some nebulous point in time, if we choose to buy the car, we will get it an undetermined period of time before the undetermined release date.

At this point and likely until it's released, we know more about this car than the dealership network.
