VIC86:
I also picked up my whiteout mt yesterday! I am in Montana so we represent both ends of the country. I really like it, especially now that I have had a chance to spend some time in it. I am glad I drove it yesterday because it snowed last night. I have no need to risk driving in the snow, so it will be few more days before I get it out again, more snow expected Christmas day. So for now I can go through the car and check everything over. Besides a whiteout in the snow is not going to stand out. From what I can tell there are only a handful of these cars in Montana, so I don't expect to see many others. Most of the dealers here tell me the cars sold are going out of state. Anyway, welcome new car owner, and enjoy driving in sunny Florida. |

I'm originally from Boston I know how much snow sucks. I love how this care is pretty uncommon. I also went through 3 dealerships that said they couldn't get the car. At one of the dealerships the salesman didn't realize I used to intern there and my father also used to work there. We pulled out an inventory list from the South East Toyota Distributor and right away the Sales Manager went looking for my car. They were trying to convince me to buy a TC and I knew there was a year end model sale.

On my first visit to the scion dealer I had to show the salesman a picture of the car on one of their displays before he knew what I was talking about (-2 points). Then the salesman told me they had sold a couple of these cars but they just sat on the lot because no one here wants a rear wheel drive car. I asked if they would order one and he just blew me off and walked away. I thought I would try once more a couple of weeks later and hooked up with another salesman; one more interested in making a sale. He brought in the sales manager and they checked on when their next allotment was due. I had narrowed down to the Lava or Whiteout. Fortunately they were getting a whiteout MT. I put money down on the spot.
I was dreading the new car purchase, even with the pure pricing policy. I thought there must be some catch. But all went smoothly and I have the new car, er new sports car now. Sun is shining and snow is melting, so maybe this afternoon I can go for a drive. |

Yeah the GTR tech is one of the best in the nation. The owner of NAGTROC from the virgin islands has the tech work on his black GTR.

All transmission issues. The white one that a girl drives had to get a new tranny that costs 20k. a Nissan engineer had to come and approve it under warranty.
