Awesome 2011 Scion Xb 5-speed Manual- Private Auction! on 2040-cars
Pennington, New Jersey, United States
AWESOME 2011 SCION xB 5-SPEED MANUAL- PRIVATE AUCTION! We purchased this car new in August of 2010 from James Toyota in Flemington, NJ and it is gorgeous. It has always been kept in a garage, always filled with name-brand gas, always dealer-serviced and nobody has ever smoked in it. It has never been in an accident of any kind. Its exterior color is “Super White” and I can’t find the name that Scion uses for the interior color but you can see from the pics that it is a really snazzy gray with patterned fabric. If there’s a 2011xB out there in better condition than this one, it’s probably because somebody bought one and hung it on their living-room wall! You can pick through the equipment list (see the picture of the window sticker) but here are some highlights:
Current mileage (as of 12/24/2013) is 36,325 miles. VIN # JTLZE4FE6B1122964 Why are we selling it? All right, this is my wife’s car. I am a manual transmission fanatic, she wants an automatic. I love sports cars, she wants a luxury car. I say this is both; she doesn’t agree. This is a gorgeous car- I’m gonna miss it; she… not so much. You get the picture. Here’s what works on this car: Everything!! Here’s what you should know is not perfect:
Repairs that have been done on this car:
I am a straight-shooter, and you can bid with confidence. I have bought and sold on EBay many times over the years (including a couple of cars) and I have never received any negative feedback whatsoever. I will require cash or a bank cashier’s check and ID at pickup. I will require a deposit of $1,500 by cash, bank cashier’s check, or Paypal within 48 hours after the auction closes. You must pay the balance by cash or cashier’s check and pick up the car within 7 days after the auction closes. (I will accept Paypal for the balance of payment if you add 2.9% to the balance, which is what Paypal charges a seller to accept payment- believe it or not!) The xB must be picked up in person in Pennington, NJ. You will have to bring plates to drive it home. When you come to pick up the car, I will be happy to go with you for a drive on a variety of nearby roads. If this drive shows up any mechanical problems, I will return your deposit and you will be under no obligation to buy the car. Other than this caveat, however: If you are the winning bidder on this car, you are legally obligated to follow through on the purchase! MY RESERVE PRICE IS $13,700 ON THIS CAR. I AM NOT WILLING TO TAKE ANY LESS. SURE, IF NOBODY WILL PAY THAT PRICE AFTER ANOTHER LISTING OR TWO, I WILL LOWER THE PRICE, BUT I BELIEVE THIS IS A FAIR PRICE FOR A MANUAL xB IN THIS CONDITION. If you have any questions, please email me. Good luck on your bidding. Carl |

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
Scion trying to build business case for FR-S convertible as Subaru bows out
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Hope may remain for a convertible version of the Scion FR-S, according to a report from Ward's Auto. You'll recall that rumors were swirling about the feasibility of a rear-drive Toyobaru convertible as early as October, and that back in November, Subaru - which makes the FR-S, Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 - essentially nixed the idea of an open-topped variant.
"We make the car, so if we don't make it, it can't happen," brand chief Yasuyuki Yoshinaga told Automotive News, according to Ward's, at the Tokyo Motor Show. "Our engineering department told me that losing the entire roof requires a complete redesign of the structure. It would need a big change."
Despite Yoshinaga-san's arguments against a droptop variant, Toyota is apparently still considering the model. Speaking to media at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, Scion's US vice president, Doug Murtha, hinted that the rear-drive droptop was in the works.
FR-S with Targa-style top leads Scion's SEMA brigade
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The Scion brand seems to be a bit rudderless in the auto industry at the moment. The company just doesn't seem to know what audience it wants to appeal to. For this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the automakers is kind of just going wild with bizarre customs like a turbocharged FR-S with a targa top (pictured above).
Taking the roof off of a FR-S isn't an entirely new idea, but this targa-top version at SEMA is certainly a new take. In addition to just chopping a panel out of the roof, the custom also adds a louvered rear window in an especially cool touch that lends an '80s coupe vibe. To take the wild look even further, the car wears a bespoke wide body kit with an integrated rear spoiler and center-mount exhaust, and all of the bodywork is done in metal. Being for the premiere aftermarket show, performance also has to play a role, and the upgrades include a Greddy turbo kit, coil-over suspension from KW and big brakes from Wilwood.
If the FR-S seemed just slightly inspired by the '80s, the xB for the show goes for a look that's a decade older with inspiration from '70s conversion vans and skateboarding. With design help from skateboarder Riley Hawk, the custom is painted in shades of groovy earth tones with bubble windows in the rear, and the cargo box on the roof stores skateboards. The interior features touchstones of the time with a mix of wood-grain trim, shag carpet and comfy brown leather.
