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!

Toyota FT-86 Open Concept would make a mighty fine droptop FR-S

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

There's nothing wrong with going topless. And Toyota is proving that its FT-86 (read: Scion FR-S/Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ) coupe is just as excellent with its roof removed. It may only be a concept, but this FT-86 Open previews a new droptop from the Japanese automaker to round out the Toyobaru sports car family. We're finally getting the chance to see the open-air FT-86 in person here at the Geneva Motor Show, and we're already yearning to take it canyon-carving.
Interestingly, the FT-86 retains the Toyota coupe's two-plus-two seating arrangement (we'd prefer a proper roadster setup here), but things still look good for this droptop two-door. We'll be curious to see how the car looks with its folding soft top in place (operated by fancy-shmancy electronics, by the way).
As for production intent, rumors have been flying about a production Scion FR-S convertible, but until we hear it directly from Toyota. Consider our hopes in check but our fingers crossed.

Here's the 2017 Toyota 86: Don't call it a Scion

Fri, Feb 5 2016

After we heard the bells toll for Scion yesterday, we told you that the Scion FR-S will transform into a Toyota. That's right: just a rebadging. The practical question is, which badge? The philosophical question, which we can't answer yet, is where it'll sit in the pantheon of front-engined, rear-drive Toyota sports cars, of which the Supra was the last one to visit our shores, from 1992 until 1998 in its fourth generation. And as if summoned by this conversation, this camouflaged prototype appeared. Our best guess is that this is going to be the US-bound, Toyota-badged version of the Subaru BRZ and all the other 86-badged variants: the Toyota 86 (in Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and South Africa), Toyota GT86 (in Europe and New Zealand again), and Toyota FT86 (in Nicaragua and Jamaica). For simplicity's sake, let's call it a Toyota 86. Peer into the 86's swirly camo, and it looks like the car is going in for a light refresh. The lower intake in the front fascia, if it's representative of a production part, adopts a different shape and is considerably wider and narrower than either the BRZ or FR-S units. It also appears that the turn signal and its surround are reshaped, different than any of the current variants. Changes out back appear mild. The area around the license plate seems to be smoother, and there is likely a predictable light restyle of the bumper skin and defuser under the camo. We don't expect a significant power increase, and certainly not a turbocharger (sorry!), but crossing fingers wouldn't do any harm. Related Video:

Scion testing updated FR-S

Thu, Sep 17 2015

It looks like Toyota is preparing a mid-cycle update for its critically acclaimed GT86, known here in the US as the Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ. As far as updates go, this one looks to be rather average. Hidden behind the camouflaged front and rear ends, we have new headlights and taillights, which according to our spies looked to be of the LED variety. We wouldn't be shocked to see the GT86 get LED taillights, although fitting the top-of-the-line headlights seems less likely. Supporting that position are the images we have of the actual headlights in action, which don't look quite bright enough to be full LED units. Instead, we'd expect some new form of running light, perhaps with bi-xenon low beams. Aside from the lamps, the front bumper gets a larger, more prominent lower intake, while the rear end sports a redefined bumper that houses larger dual exhaust tips. The size of the spoiler has been increased, too. According to our spies, we should also expect powertrain enhancements – which we can only hope means more power Â– as well as upgrades to the interior of the GT86. While it's possible that the updates being tested in Germany could be exclusive to the European market, that seems unlikely. We'd expect the same new enhancements to at least find their way to the Scion, if not its Subaru-badged twin. Check out the full battery of spy photos up top. Related Video:
