2005 Scion XB, 92,639 miles, green color, gray interior. Manual 5 gears stick shift. Engine is excellent! This car has been serviced and maintained every 3,000 to 4,000 miles. I bought this car brand new off the Toyota lot in Hollywood. It has been rear ended in fender bender three weeks ago. ( MY AUTO BODY GUY TOOK IT APART AND VERIFIED THAT THE FRAME IS NOT BENT, CAR STILL DRIVING GREAT!) The person who hit me paid me through their insurance and I chose to buy a new car instead of repairing this Scion. Prior to that, a year ago, hit and run on right rear side ( dent above back right wheel) and also someone keyed it on the hood, and right and left doors. I have photographed all the major body damage. As you can see the hatch back door and bumper have been damaged from the fender bender on 4/9/14. The hatch back door is not closing all the way hence the door indicator light stays on. The front bumper has been scratched and scraped from parking mishaps in LA.
I have kept the front seats and steering wheel incased in seat covers and wheel cover the entire 9 years I have had this car, so the interior is in excellent shape. I was not able to photograph the back completely as the hatch back door is not opening due to the accident. The estimate I got to fix the hatch back was $1880.00 from my body guy but that was just one estimate. I decided not to spend the money to fix all the body damage because I bought a new car. I want to sell this car ASAP, as is. I have never had one mechanical issue with this car as far as the engine or any other mechanical problem.
Unfortunately it has suffered wear and tear cosmetically. But the right person will find a way to fix all that!
All lights and indicators work, A/C, heating and radio/CD player all work. Only back door on right side window does not go down when button pressed. All other automatic windows work. The key clicker remote was lost so must open car doors with key manually. I am willing to take best offer in cash, as is. This is the perfect, low mileage, good- on- gas car for someone who can fix the body with their own trustworthy auto body person. Any more questions please ask. If needed, bring your mechanic to check it out. I prefer local buyers in Los Angeles/Southern California. Thank you!

2014 Scion tC with updated styling priced from $19,210*

Wed, 08 May 2013

Scion has released pricing information for a number of models, the most important of which being the updated 2014 tC that debuted at the New York Auto Show in March. The cost of entry for the tweaked coupe is now $19,210 with the standard manual transmission, or $20,210 if you'd rather the car did the shift-work for you (*both prices exclude the $755 destination charge). These numbers represent an increase of $485 versus the 2013 model with either transmission.
We have yet to drive the refreshed tC, but Scion says it ought to provide a much more engaging experience from behind the wheel. Automatic-equipped models now enjoy faster shift times with dynamic rev matching, and regardless of transmission, the tC is said to have improved handling dynamics thanks to reworked shock absorbers, stabilizer bar hardware modifications and retuned electric power steering.
In addition to the obvious re-schnozzing of the tC, other updates for the 2014 model year include a new standard auto display, featuring a 6.1-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, HD radio and steering wheel-mounted controls.

Toyota CEO Lentz still envisions Scion as a small premium brand

Sat, Dec 6 2014

Ward's Auto has published a piece on Scion that further confirms that we really have no idea what to expect from the brand. In speaking with Toyota USA CEO Jim Lentz about what was once firmly intended to be a hip, experimental youth brand, Lentz said, "I still personally believe small-premium is the direction we should be going." We'll walk right on by Lentz's use of the word "still" and focus on "small-premium" with the question: How? As much as we dig the FR-S, nothing in the brand's lineup can get within a whiff of the word "premium." It's even further away from being able to sniff the lifestyle-powered exhaust of a Mini or Fiat 500, and the production version of the forthcoming IM Concept (inset) will only draw it closer to its plain vanilla parent. Of course, Scion could head the premium way, but the amount of time and money needed to make it work would seem to go against everything the brand currently stands for. The murk stays just as murky when Lentz's words are placed next to those of Scion brand VP Doug Murtha, who spoke to Ward's at a different time. Murtha's response to the "small-premium" note was, "He may be having discussions at levels I'm not," and that such intent is "probably a longer-term proposition than we're looking at right now," with planning under way out to 2025. We're already being prepared for the iM to come in under $20,000, which will ensure the "attainability factor" of the "younger audience" that Murtha still views as Scion's base. And at the moment, Murtha is probably focused on adding desirability to the current lineup, halting the 14-percent year-over-year sales slide to a point that's just over half the annual volume necessary for profitability, and making sure he and his dealers have the support necessary to make the required splash with new product. Aside from all that, what might we expect? We know there'll be another product shown along with the production IM at the 2015 New York Auto Show, and Murtha isn't against a small crossover if they can come up with "something appropriately Scion-esque." So... there's that.

Scion's SEMA show cars display tuner creativity [w/videos]

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Scion brought four FR-S concepts to SEMA this year and one xB concept, while another three Scion tCs were brought to the show by three different shops that are competing in Scion's Tuner Challenge. The modified Scions range from mild to insane, and show how popular they are in the tuner world.
The Tuner Challenge teams brought unique creations to SEMA, after Scion gave each of them a tC, $15,000 and 90 days to modify it. At 11:00 AM on Wednesday, judges picked the Young Tea Scion Simpli-tC as the winner, the Walter Franco Scion L-DZ Concept got second, and third place went to the Josh Croll Scion WSD-tC. Check out the three videos below to watch the tC builds from start to finish.
Out of the FR-S concepts brought to the show, we're gravitating toward the GReddy Performance x Scion Racing Drift FR-S (top), which has the venerable 2JZ-GTE turbocharged straight-six engine in place of the flat-four that comes standard in the rear-wheel-drive coupe - ready to pump out 750 horsepower - and the Bulletproof FR-S Concept One, which features a striking, handmade wide body and a heavily modified, turbocharged flat-four that puts out 500 hp.
