Hello everyone! Moving overseas for graduate school, so I'm selling my awesome 2008 Scion xB. Purchased a year and a half ago as a certified used vehicle from a Toyota dealer, it has been dealer maintained ever since. Super clean and well taken care of, this is a real gem. Features the premium Scion stereo and sound system with ipod/iphone capabilities (also has aux port for non-apple products) and includes the adapter, steering wheel stereo controls, cruise control, 19" premium Mitsubishi wheels, spoiler, fog lights, tinted windows, color changing interior cabin lights, cold A/C, and more! Has tons of space and hidden compartments for sunglasses and you name what else. With the back seats folded down, I can fit two adult road/mountain bikes in the back without taking off their wheels. Five speed manual transmission that I average about 28mpg in. Needs new front tires, but is able to be driven as is. Some minor scratches and tiny dings around the car, and scuffs on the front bumper from winter, but nothing major. I assure you, this is a great looking car, as you can see from the photos. No mechanical problems whatsoever since purchase and runs great. Recently had the transmission fluid flushed and air filters replaced. KBB $10,500, willing to take less for a quick sale, as you can see from the "buy it now" price!

I am making payments on the vehicle, so I need to receive cashiers check as payment directly from the buyer or their bank. I believe I can also have your bank wire mine directly and have the title directly forwarded to you. I can also accept a personal check given we allow time for the check to clear. I am requesting a $500 deposit within 24 hours of the sale. If you are willing to cover some of the cost of travel, I am also willing to drive the vehicle out to a buyer within the first week of the sale, distance permitting. I am in DC/northern Virginia, and am thinking I could do about as far as Colorado. Message me in advance with your location/situation and we'll see what we can do!

Thanks a bunch and good luck!

More powerful 2017 Toyota 86 takes over for the Scion FR-S

Thu, Mar 17 2016

Scion is dead, and the FR-S name passes away with it. The rear-wheel-drive sports coupe isn't gone, though, because it's now the the 2017 Toyota 86. To match the new moniker, the latest model finally has a little extra power and more aggressive styling. The public debut will take place at next week's New York Auto Show, and sales begin this fall. "When we announced the transition of the Scion models to Toyota we hadn't planned on changing the names of our cars, but by popular demand, for our sports car, we decided to adopt the global name of 86," said Toyota Division Group Vice President Bill Fay. The 2.0-liter boxer-four's output grows to 205 horsepower and 156 pound-feet of torque – increases of 5 hp and 5 lb-ft Â– on manual-transmission models. The 86 still isn't the turbocharged rear-wheel-drive coupe of some people's dreams, but at least this is an improvement. (Buyers who opt for the automatic will have to make do with less power and fewer pedals.) Toyota also promises "additional performance" thanks to different gear ratios for the six-speed manual transmission, and there's now Hill Start Assist Control. New shock tuning and spring rates will affect the handling, too. The 86 wears a meaner look than the outgoing FR-S. The biggest change is a new front bumper with a large intake that stretches across the coupe's width, and the two sharp points along the bottom look like teeth ready to chomp down. Toyota also replaces the headlights and taillights with LED units. The twist-spoke wheels are a great accompaniment to the more aggressive look, too. The tweaks are more modest inside, including silver stitching and new materials for the dashboard and doors. Toyota will also display the C-HR crossover concept again in the Big Apple. We won't see the production version until later this year, and sales won't begin until spring 2017 as a 2018 model.

The former Scion FR-S will debut as the 2017 Toyota 86 at the New York International Auto Show with interior and exterior changes, as well as suspension and powertrain upgrades. The new Toyota 86 will go on sale at all Toyota dealerships this fall.

Buy a Toyota GT86 and your wife will hate you

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

Marketing can be a very strange business. Convincing a man or woman (or child, really) that they absolutely cannot live without the latest, greatest new bit of technology oftentimes takes a unique approach. In the "online film promoting the Toyota GT86" you'll see below, created by agency Happiness Brussels, men are reverse-psychologied into thinking a new sports coupe will make them more masculine by getting their loved ones to hate them. Or something like that. We think.
In any case, we suggest you watch the video below to see how much fun men can have with a GT86 - or Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ, presumably - at the expense of their significant others. Fair warning: There's a potential Not Safe For Work moment in the ad: beware of a brief male butt shot about 44 seconds in.
Marketing. Gotta love it. Unless you're married to a man. Or something like that. We think. Whatever, just watch.
