Got my Argento

Got my Argento automatic just a few minutes ago and I am extremely pleased. Members of Scion management were there, loads of SWAG given-in particular a carbon fiber license plate frame with the number 23 of 86 on the back. They will also be sending me a car cover (how cool is that). Pictures were taken and will appear in the local paper. Having driven the manual at Long Beach I was pleasantly surprised at how responsive the auto was. The fit and finish is excellent and the car handles amazingly.

The dealer was great and one of the salespersons was very knowledgeable about the car. An overall great experience.

The dealer has two other FRS's coming in that do not have deposits yet, one is Firestorm Red. If interested call Kitt Kinne at Yuba City Toyota Scion in Yuba City, California. He is a great guy to work with.

Congrats. Great car and great to know you had a good experience with your dealership and salesmen. That's how it should be.....

Pay attention all you blacklisted dealers.....not only is he showing off his new car, but he is making a plug for his salesmen..... That's how it works around here.

Congrats!

Russv, looks great! Congratulations!

According to www.meetways.com the half-way point between you and I is Penny's Diner in Encino, NM. That's avoiding highways of course, who wants to use highways!


Meet you for breakfast on Sunday?


(OK, maybe a little far for breakfast, but enjoy the new ride!)
