2004 Scion Xb Base Wagon 5-door 1.5l on 2040-cars
I bought this car new in Dec ’03 at Toyota of Glendora Ca. In addition to regular 4-5k mile oil changes, it was serviced 5/07 by Toyota at 65k for scheduled maintenance, again 10/09 at 96k with a water pump and the routine 100k service. In 9/13, the 120k service was performed at Toyota in Palm Springs and included brakes. I have all keys, docs and everything else since new. The car runs great and I think it has a long life ahead. The car shows some use because I have transported lumber, cement, hardware, bricks and everything else anybody would need to work on and fix up a personal residence over a period of years. As a result, the dash, on the passenger side is a bit scuffed from lumber rubbing on it. Also the interior plastic molding around the hatch is scuffed for the same reason. The exterior is marked here and there with paint transfer and scuffs in a few areas. The front bumper has some paint transfer from rubbing against a carport post. The right side has some white paint transfer from the white car next to mine opening its door because the spaces are narrow and the guy is fat. There seems to be a bit of transfer on the left rear bumper which I have only just noticed while taking these pictures. There is a small dent shown on the right front fender in the picture. The Michelin tires were new in May ’09 at 88K, but show good remaining tread per the pics. The windshield had rock impacts and was replaced 2/14. Everything works fine. The only reason I’m selling the car is that after ten years, I just want a change. (Probably a mistake.) It’s been the best and most practical car I’ve ever owned and I’d like it to go to someone who’ll give it a good home. Included is a Magellan Roadmate 9250T-LMB 7" GPS with lifetime updates. Vehicle has 125,010 miles right now. |

Two new RWD Toyota sports cars to join FR-S?
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Toyota as we know it could become a thing of the past. According to Australian site Car Advice, the Japanese brand known for bland cruisers like the Camry and Corolla is preparing to bring two new rear-drive cars to market that would slot above and below the Scion-badged FR-S. This is very, very good news.
Car Advice spoke to the GT86/FR-S' chief engineer, Tatsuya Tada, who claimed, "Akio Toyoda always says to me, Toyota sports car [family] should be three sports car brothers. 86 is in the middle." The oldest "brother" would be the spiritual successor to the Supra, even if it doesn't wear that name. Tada is in charge of that project, while a sub-GT86 project is being headed-up elsewhere.
Tada refused to comment on names (CA specifically mentions MR2 and Celica) for the new small car, but did say that, "Yes it is rear-wheel drive and that's Toyota's strong position - Toyota sports car must be rear-wheel drive." Perhaps the juiciest bit of information obtained from Tada's interview with Car Advice was his hinting that both new sports cars would be joint ventures, like the GT86/FR-S/Subaru BRZ triplets. Tada wouldn't say who Toyota was in bed with on the smaller model, but did mention that the Supra would be a product of the world's largest automaker's partnership with BMW.
Toyota GT86 convertible could debut in March
Tue, 27 Nov 2012The dates are lining up, now we wait to see how the badges align. Just before the Toyota GT 86/Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ line-up was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show last year, there was a report that Subaru was considering a convertible while Toyota wouldn't even comment on it. That got swapped around when earlier this year the chief engineer on Toyota's side said a convertible was coming, and then a Scion FR-S droptop was confirmed for early 2014.
Autocar now reports that the Toyota GT 86 convertible will make its first appearance at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in March. In a car whose specs like weight, packaging, horsepower and center of gravity were all tightly controlled to get the most from the least, the changes necessitated by chopping the roof could make this a very different car. It's said to employ a fabric roof to keep a "small" weight gain check, and the suspension will be softened to work more harmoniously with the decreased body stiffness. And somewhere in all that the back seat and trunk space will need to take a hit.
In other news, Autocar says the hi-po GT 86 with some kind of capacitor system instead of batteries is being worked on for 2015.
Toyota updates Euro-market GT86 suspension, appearance
Thu, 24 Apr 2014While we were busy ogling the Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0 with its Yuzu yellow paint and a workover by Toyota Racing Development, and the Japanese Toyota 86 buyers were trying out their Playstation-compatible Sports Drive Logger telemetry system, the European 2015 Toyota GT86 got fitted with some new parts of its own. New on next year's model are stiffer mounts for the front suspension and rear shock absorbers, and new shocks in the back for better damping and less friction. Toyota says the result is sharper steering and less body roll.
Inside, the instrument panel and center console get decorated with a "carbon-fiber motif." There are new shades of pearl white and silver to dress up the outside, and the roof gets a shark-fin antenna for sharper looks and aero. It goes on sale this summer, and you can read everything we just told you in the press release below. We've reached out to Scion to see if we'll get the same upgrades on the FR-S this summer, too, company PR rep Nancy Hubbell telling us, "The European changes are among those being considered for the US model FR-S and we'll have final confirmation soon."
