We are selling our one-owner Scion xb (made by Toyota) compact sport utility vehicle / car. We had it converted by Freedom Motors in Battle Creek, MI. As shown in the photos, it has a passenger side entry/ramp. We chose the manual ramp because it is quick and easy, as well as trouble free - we wanted to avoid the $$$ costly repairs to the automatic ramp in our previous minvan. The Scion xb has won the Top Safety Pick for 6 years in a row. Made by Toyota, the Scion is guaranteed to run for many, many more years.

The car will accommodate most wheelchairs, including most power wheelchairs, but unfortunately we unknowingly just bought our daughter one of the few that will not fit (a Permobil m300; the c300 does fit). Sadly, we have to go back to a minivan thus have to sell our Scion.

The best feature of the Scion is it's awesome mileage - I get 33 mpg highway and 26 or 27 city. I usually average 30 or so because I do a little of both - though that number drops in the really cold weather. My mileage is higher than the ratings for the vehicle. I assume that's because it has a MANUAL TRANSMISSION. The configuration worked great for our family - my daughter in her wheelchair sits beside the driver and there is still seating for 3 more passengers in the back. Also an impressive amount of storage in the rear area (more than the minivan we switched out of for the Scion!). One of my photos shows the car with the original cloth seat back in place, but it rolls out for wheelchair use.

We have put about 57,000 miles on the car and my husband diligently changed oil and kept up with all maintenance. The air conditioning works great, and it has cruise and a stereo with cd player and comfortable driver's seat. We recently put new tires on the car so they should last a good long while. I would never be selling, except for the issue with my daughter's power chair. We also will include a set of q'straint straps. There is also a trailer hitch, as this car can pull a trailer or very light camper.

We have priced it below the $20,000 appraisal we received from Freedom Motors and will entertain all fair offers.

So if you have the ability to drive a 5 speed manual (or are willing to learn - it's fun!) and are looking for a very fuel efficient wheelchair-converted vehicle, this car is a welcome alternative to the minivan. Again, most chairs will fit, but you will need to check yours specifically. We have no mechanical issues whatsoever - we took care of it carefully and intended to drive it for years yet. One of our photos shows a small (nickel-sized) dent in passenger rear over the tire, and there are a couple scratches that go with it. Other than that the body is in great shape.

A $500.00 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction end. Full payment must be made within 7 days of auction end.

All funds must clear before vehicle is released. You will need to make arrangements for pickup, though we would assist in a short-distance delivery within Southern Wisconsin.

Toyota updates Euro-market GT86 suspension, appearance

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

While we were busy ogling the Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0 with its Yuzu yellow paint and a workover by Toyota Racing Development, and the Japanese Toyota 86 buyers were trying out their Playstation-compatible Sports Drive Logger telemetry system, the European 2015 Toyota GT86 got fitted with some new parts of its own. New on next year's model are stiffer mounts for the front suspension and rear shock absorbers, and new shocks in the back for better damping and less friction. Toyota says the result is sharper steering and less body roll.
Inside, the instrument panel and center console get decorated with a "carbon-fiber motif." There are new shades of pearl white and silver to dress up the outside, and the roof gets a shark-fin antenna for sharper looks and aero. It goes on sale this summer, and you can read everything we just told you in the press release below. We've reached out to Scion to see if we'll get the same upgrades on the FR-S this summer, too, company PR rep Nancy Hubbell telling us, "The European changes are among those being considered for the US model FR-S and we'll have final confirmation soon."

Scion FR-S Convertible (in Toyota GT86 form) spied in South Africa

Fri, 15 Feb 2013

Though the eventual existence of a convertible version of the Toyota GT86 (and its Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ versions for America) is a no-brainer, we've yet to get a glimpse of the real-deal car until now.
Spotted in Cape Town, South Africa, of all places, this completely undisguised GT86 convertible seems to be in a remarkably advanced state of development. The image seen here was obviously sniped from quite a distance and without the aid of a powerful lens, but we can still make out a production-ready looking piece of rear bodywork for the convertible top to hide away in, as well as a functioning trunk lid. It's hard to make out with any certainty, based on this evidence, but there does seem to be space retained behind the front seats for two, small rear chairs.
With the first car spotted, we'd expect to seem some more and better images of it flow through in the near future, and if not, Toyota has already confirmed a concept version for next month's Geneva Motor Show, dubbed FT-86 Open, so stay tuned. For now, click through to the FT86Club.com forum to have a slightly closer look at the images.

Scion grabs Franco and Urkel in Weird move to sell iM and iA

Tue, Sep 15 2015

Scion is prepping the advertising campaign for the new iA and iM and as so many automakers have done before, it's recruited some celebrity talent. It's choice of actors, though, is kind of strange. First, we have Mr. James Franco, star of This Is The End and generally weird dude. He pitches both the iA and iM, playing two different roles. While in the iA, he's James Franco The Actor, while the iM sees him shift into an "experimental artist." Along with talking about how strange it is that "someone so complex" would drive a "practical" car, Scion's narrator goes as far as admitting that it's kind of weird that the budget manufacturer was even able to scoop the Hollywood talent. The second spokesman, though, is even stranger. It's none other than Jaleel White, best known as Steven Q. Urkel from 1990s sitcom Family Matters. He stars alongside, um, Urkel (not to mention a rather annoying laugh track). In a rather weird spot that highlights the dual-zone climate control, White stars alongside a wax figurine of his iconic television character, even dropping one of his famous lines at the end. And finally, while this one doesn't have a celebrity endorsement, Scion prepared a third spot to support its new iA. Featuring a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man, it's perhaps the weirdest of the three videos. We have Franco's video at the top of the page, while the Urkel/White spot and wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man clip are available below. This content is hosted by a third party.

Scion Brings the 'Weird' with James Franco and Jaleel White New Ad Campaign for Scion iA and iM Celebrates Everything Out of the Ordinary September 14, 2015 TORRANCE, Calif. (Sept. 14, 2015) – Scion has always been a little weird. With no-haggle pricing, standard premium features and cars shaped like toasters, Scion has proudly done things differently. Now, actors James Franco, Jaleel White, and an inflatable tube man take the all-new Scion iM and iA for a spin in the brand's newest ad campaign, titled "Weird, Right?" This is the largest marketing campaign for Scion since the brand's launch in 2003. The wave of weird contains three :30 TV spots.
