This Scion is not in perfect condition. I have had the Scion since the 2012. It runs and drives perfect. I know that it has been in an accident before I bought it. I bought the vehicle from a local dealership. I have had no problems in the past 2 years since I have owned the vehicle. It is good car for commuting since it get good gas millage.

There are a few issues - the airbag light came on when I had the heated seats installed. Last year I bought new tires and had them installed at the local Walmart - now my flat tire sensor is constantly on. I am sure both of those are an easy fix but I have lowered the price because of these issues. The car is due for an oil change which I will do within the next week.

I did hit the front bumper in the last storm we had here in KC - no the left corner is not flash with the fender and there is a scratch. I also broke the plastic in the middle but the bumper is not cracked.

The car has lowering springs to give it a sportier look. The headlights are after market - I bought them last year. I still have the original headlights.

The car has power mirrors, windows, door locks. Heated Seats and panoramic (sliding) roof.

If I get close to the asking price I will even include the HID bulbs and ballast that I recently bought but have not installed yet. I can have them installed at no extra charge if the car sells close to my asking price.

If you check the KBB you will find that my price is way below KBB. This is due to the few imperfections and minor issues listed above.

I do have more pictures of the car. Send me an email and I can send you more pics - mainata_84@yahoo.com. The car is located in Overland Park, KS and I am available in the evenings to show the car.

Scion exec admits brand has too many dealerships, may contract network

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Despite being conceived by corporate giant Toyota, Scion painstakingly built its reputation on being something of an offbeat, youth-minded brand, working hard to establish individualist, almost hipster-like credentials. So it comes as something of a surprise to hear WardsAuto report that Scion has a whopping 1,000 dealers across America - just 200 fewer than Toyota itself. This, despite a much smaller product portfolio and a sliver of the sales volume.
All those factors may explain why Bill Fay, US group vice president for Toyota, is admitting to the industry publication that its dealer network "might actually go down a little bit." As it stands, the volume end of the equation is probably an even bigger incentive - Scion's sales are way down from the salad days of the mid-2000s, when the brand had fewer models but sold more of them. With the (then) white-hot xB and tC models, Scion shifted 173,034 units in 2006, while Ward's notes the marque's 2013 sales are only at 41,261 units through July. In the story, AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan observes that other low-volume brands have far fewer dealer points, noting that Mini has just 115 dealer points and Infiniti has 200. By Sullivan's estimate, he would expect to see 350-500 Scion stores based on its sales figures.
Dealer question aside, the bigger issue is where the brand goes from here, and Fay admits Toyota is studying a number of different strategies, including possibly going "small-premium." Nothing is finalized, though according to Ward's, Fay discounts the idea that the FR-S - the brand's sales bright spot - will drive the brand to consider a more driver-oriented lineup.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Toyota GT86 turbo, convertible, sedan variants back on the table

Fri, 02 May 2014

Okay Toyota, make up your mind. Figure it out. Quit playing games with our heart. Either build a bunch of variations of the excellent GT86 (also known as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ) or don't. At this point, we're just tired of the back and forth. After no shortage of denials, an Australian website is claiming that Toyota is reconsidering convertible, four-door, turbocharged and all-wheel-drive hybrid variants of the GT86. Kindly pass all the salt.
It's not that we don't want to believe the Aussies; we do. But when the story lists the same "sources in Japan" as a lot of the other denials and confirmations about GT86/BRZ/FR-S variants, well, there's a certain sense of the "Boy That Cried Wolf," here. Ignoring all that, then, what does Motoring.com.au claim to know?
Sources claim the GT86 Convertible will arrive in October 2014, while the turbocharged and hybrid sedans are slated for 2016.
