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!

2017 Scion FR-S getting slight power bump?

Tue, May 12 2015

A common refrain when discussing the Scion FR-S and its sibling the Subaru BRZ is that they are capable vehicles but are in need of more power. The latest rumors suggest that some more muscle might finally be on the way for the coupe's refresh. Don't expect something like the STI Performance Concept with a 300-horsepower, turbocharged flat-four, though – the gains in the real world are likely to be significantly more modest. According to Toyota insiders speaking with Motoring in Australia, the local Toyota GT86 (our FR-S) is due for a styling and powertrain refresh for the next model year. The 2.0-liter boxer four-cylinder engine isn't expected to get a drastic power increase, but it's not being completely neglected. A new intake manifold and friction reductions reportedly allow for five percent more grunt. If accurate, and if the changes also come here, that would take output of the US version to 210 hp and 159 pound-feet of torque. The adjustments could improve fuel economy by seven percent, as well. Handling is already a forte for the FR-S and BRZ, and things could get even better with this refresh. Motoring claims that dampers from Sachs might become standard equipment, along with a reinforced subframe. The close relationship with the BRZ reportedly rules out any dramatic changes to the styling for this update. However, the coupe is still likely to wear a new hood with vents in it, reshaped headlights, and a revised fascia with a larger lower grille. At the rear, expect a rear diffuser and exhaust pipes at the corners. While minor compared to all of these rumored updates, Scion recently gave the FR-S a few tweaks in the US for the 2016 model year (pictured above). In addition to some new colors and interior trim, it now comes standard with a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system and rearview camera.

Ryan Tuerck's Ferrari-powered Scion drifts, crashes, fixes, and drifts again

Sat, Sep 23 2017

We were pretty astonished when Ryan Tuerck and Gumout shoved a Ferrari 458 V8 into a Scion FR-S. And as awesome as that fact alone may be, it's even more amazing that it's a fully functional drifter, not just a show car. Tuerck recently took it out to Portland, Ore. to do some sweet drifting on a mountain road. Unfortunately for him and the car, he did something substantially less sweet right off the bat. As you'll see in the video, in just the second corner of the course, Tuerck drives the front corner of the GT4586 right into the dirt cliff on the side of the road. For a moment, it looks like things are all right, but the car starts pulling to the right and he stops the car for repairs. After fixing bits including a thoroughly bent tie-rod, the GT4586 is good as new. We're glad the car wasn't down for long, because the drifting show following the repairs was fantastic. In the video, Tuerck throws the Scion into high-speed, super smoky drifts. And all of it happens to the tune of a shrieking Ferrari V8. It's well worth a few minutes of your time to watch.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
