Heres the situation. l have a choice between two Scion tC is a white one and a charcoal one. l have always wanted the white one since the beginning but the charcoal one isnt that bad. l believe the white color is special on the tC. The white one is 50 miles from my home and the Charcoal is 10 miles from my home. The Charcoal is a 2006 and the white is a 2005. All the tC is Ive seen so far are crap except the charcoal. l was going to check out the WHite one but l cant until next sunday. l get my license next monday. If l wait until next weekend, it could be a bad car and l lose time and the Charcoal one can be sold by then. l can afford both but the white one costs more. l cant buy the charcoal and paint it white because my dad wont let me. If l wait until next week, l could lose the charcoal and the white one turns out to be bad and l wont have the car in time for school. l had my heart set on the white one l even have black/white car seats for it. What should l do?
The charcoal one costs $10,500 and the white one costs $11,500 plus its an hour drive away. l think the white one looks nicer. If l choose to wait for the white one, l am taking a gamble. l think the white one looks nicest but l can live with the Charcoal. l wanna have the car by the time l get my license next monday (8/27) and the first day of school (9/5). If l wait for the white Scion tC and l do buy it next sunday, l would have to wait an additional week until all the paperwork is finished which leaves me carless for 1 week
Forgot to mention if l buy the Charcoal Scion tC l get a 3 month warranty but l dont get any warranty with the White one
The mileage of the charcoal Scion tC is 26k and the mileage of the white Scion tC is 2k

screw it. just get charcoal. why drive all the way there just to get a color? and being car-less sucks. IM car-less right now waitin for my insurance check which comes in Tuesday but l have school tomorrow. So now my mom has to take me to school. No fun. Got my license June 18th.

If you are just getting your license you do not need either. You are too inexperienced and the temptation to drive too fast will be there. Plus NO 16 year old needs a $10,000 car. PERIOD. You need to find something that you can LEARN on not something nice as the TC that you will wind up wrecking in 6 months anyway.

How about choice # 3 -- BUY A CHEAPER CAR!! 11.5K for a used Scion is NUTS!

Why would you pay more for the 2005? The choice is obvious.

The mileage of the cars in question would help though.

You're better off getting the white Scion tC.
