 AWESOME 2011 SCION xB 5-SPEED MANUAL-   PRIVATE AUCTION!

We purchased this car new in August of 2010 from James Toyota in Flemington, NJ and it is gorgeous.  It has always been kept in a garage, always filled with name-brand gas, always dealer-serviced and nobody has ever smoked in it.  It has never been in an accident of any kind.  Its exterior color is “Super White” and I can’t find the name that Scion uses for the interior color but you can see from the pics that it is a really snazzy gray with patterned fabric.  

If there’s a 2011xB out there in better condition than this one, it’s probably because somebody bought one and hung it on their living-room wall!

You can pick through the equipment list (see the picture of the window sticker) but here are some highlights:

  • 2.4 liter 158 hp engine 
  • 5-speed manual transmission
  • Beautiful, upgraded 17” OZ Racing wheels (made in Italy!), with 235/45 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus Tires- with a good bit of tread left- see pic.  With these wheels, this is about the easiest car to spot in any parking lot!
  • ABS, Stability Control, Traction Control, Tire Pressure Sensors
  • Lot’s of airbags (never needed, thank goodness)
  • $1,900 Kenwood 200 watt DNX 6960 with massive 6.1” touch screen infotainment system including: tuner (obviously), Garmin-based GPS with turn-by-turn voice, cell phone interface (voice dial), ipod interface, CD/DVD player, Sirius/XM capability, steering wheel controls, and backup camera.  We also added a cable for iPhone hookup- see the pic.  Purchased from, and installed by, Sound Auto in Hamilton NJ (they have been around for decades and know what they’re doing with high-end auto).  (If you’re over 60 years old you probably won’t be able to figure this thing out, but then again if you’re looking for a Scion you’re probably not over 60!)
  • Power side mirrors with LED turn signals, halogen headlamps, rear windshield wiper
  • Power windows with auto-down, power locks, cruise control
  • Rear window defogger, rear tinted glass
  • EPA estimates: 22/28 mpg
  • Tilt/telescoping steering wheel- this really makes a difference in fitting the car to YOU!
  • Dealer installed Scion accessories: rear spoiler, auto-dimming mirror, super-cool blue-glowing “Scion” illuminated inserts in the running boards (check these at night!), cargo cover (works great- easy on-and-off), rear bumper “Scion” inlay, front mats
  • 6 speakers (three more than you really need, but whatever- they sound great!) 
  • 1/3, 2/3 split rear seat
  • Truly cavernous rear area with the rear seats folded flat.  For example, if you owned a Mini and it had a flat tire, you could just put it in the back and take it home.  Just kidding- but just barely- see the pic!
  • Check out the cool organizer under the rear floor-mat:  really nice for us OCD types!
  • I have all documentation- including manuals (which come in a zippered case- yeah really), the window sticker and all service records and these will be turned over to you
  • I’m pretty fussy about all of my stuff, so this car has been kept up meticulously.
  • I have included pictures of the odometer reading and VIN number 
  • genuine donut spare tire 

Current mileage (as of 12/24/2013) is 36,325 miles.  VIN # JTLZE4FE6B1122964

Why are we selling it?  All right, this is my wife’s car.  I am a manual transmission fanatic, she wants an automatic.  I love sports cars, she wants a luxury car.  I say this is both; she doesn’t agree.  This is a gorgeous car- I’m gonna miss it; she… not so much.  You get the picture.

Here’s what works on this car: Everything!!

Here’s what you should know is not perfect:

  • Yes, she has scuffed the wheels on the passenger side a few times against curbs.  (My wife says it just looks stupid to leave the car 3 feet from the curb).  It’s pretty minor- see the wheel pic for a typical scuff.
  • Some jerk ran something into the right side of the rear bumper- a shopping cart?  Anyway, there is scuffing and a crease there.  It’s not too noticeable-see the pic.
  • There is some of the usual minor road rash-tiny bits of nicked paint from gravel hitting the front end.  There is less of this than you will find on a typical car of this mileage- and nothing very noticeable.  I’ve tried to show everything in the pics- zoom in for the most detail.

Repairs that have been done on this car:

  • All routine maintenance (every 5,000 miles) was performed by a dealer.
  • That’s it- nothing else of any significance.  We will give you all records with the car.

I am a straight-shooter, and you can bid with confidence.  I have bought and sold on EBay many times over the years (including a couple of cars) and I have never received any negative feedback whatsoever.

I will require cash or a bank cashier’s check and ID at pickup.  I will require a deposit of $1,500 by cash, bank cashier’s check, or Paypal within 48 hours after the auction closes.  You must pay the balance by cash or cashier’s check and pick up the car within 7 days after the auction closes.  (I will accept Paypal for the balance of payment if you add 2.9% to the balance, which is what Paypal charges a seller to accept payment- believe it or not!)

The xB must be picked up in person in Pennington, NJ.  You will have to bring plates to drive it home.

When you come to pick up the car, I will be happy to go with you for a drive on a variety of nearby roads.  If this drive shows up any mechanical problems, I will return your deposit and you will be under no obligation to buy the car.

Other than this caveat, however: If you are the winning bidder on this car, you are legally obligated to follow through on the purchase!

MY RESERVE PRICE IS $13,700 ON THIS CAR.  I AM NOT WILLING TO TAKE ANY LESS.  SURE, IF NOBODY WILL PAY THAT PRICE AFTER ANOTHER LISTING OR TWO, I WILL LOWER THE PRICE, BUT I BELIEVE THIS IS A FAIR PRICE FOR A MANUAL xB IN THIS CONDITION.

If you have any questions, please email me.  Good luck on your bidding.

SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.

A new Toyota MR2? We want to believe

Thu, Mar 9 2017

In the wake of a busy Geneva auto show, the rumor mill is churning, and the latest grist involves one of the most beloved Toyota sports cars of all time. EVO reports that Tetsuya Tada, the chief of the Scion FR-S/Toyota 86 project and a hard-liner about sportscar priorities (light and nimble, but with modest horsepower), wants a third vehicle for Toyota's nascent sporty lineup. Currently, we know there's a Supra-like vehicle in the works, being co-developed with BMW, and the 86 is sticking around. Tada said he'd like a third sportscar to compliment the two we know about, and that he wants it soon. A quick bit of history: Toyota's classic sporty lineup had three components. The most visible was the Supra, whose power and prestige grew as the car evolved from a cushy personal tourer to a high-horsepower, high-technology icon. The Celica was its Clark Kent, more mild mannered but also more accessible and affordable. The third was the MR2, a mid-engined go-kart that lasted for three distinct generations. Each had its charms, and all have their fans. When Tada says that he wants three sportscars in the lineup, we already know about the Supra successor, and the 86 is already filling the Celica's role, so the blank is easy to fill. It doesn't sound like Tada spoke the word "MR2" to EVO, or hinted that the car would be mid-engined, but Tada doesn't seem to say anything without purpose. Whatever the layout, this third car – if it comes to fruition – will probably play a role similar to the MR2 in relation to its stablemates. To translate: it'll likely be even lighter and more nimble, and probably less powerful, than the 86. The closest real-world analogue to the pure MR2 ideal is the Honda S660, a mid-engined Kei roadster that's on sale in Japan right now. It's light, small, and powered by a 0.66-liter inline-three. Toyota could decide to directly compete with the S660, borrow an engine from its small-car specialist subsidiary Daihatsu, and produce a mid-engined MR2. Another possibility, even simpler from Toyota's perspective, would be to adapt the existing Daihatsu Copen roadster. Sure, it's front-engine and front-wheel drive, but it's a small, light roadster. And even better, it sells abroad with a larger 1.3-liter engine. Restyle it slightly, perhaps to resemble the S-FR concept of a couple years ago, and it's an off-the-shelf solution. The S-FR itself is a third possibility.

Scion teases mysterious sporty iM concept for LA show

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Thoroughly cleansed of our time at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, we can now start looking forward to the next big show on the circuit (with all due respect to SEMA), the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. One of the earliest new cars slated for LA is this, the Scion iM Concept.
Now, these teaser images don't show us terribly much. We can see the headlights, foglights and wheels. The little information we can glean indicates that, based on the short hood and minimal space between the front door and front axle, the iM will be a very small vehicle. That said, a very low ride height (and Scion's own press release) claims this will be a rather sporty offering. The concept's nose and grille, meanwhile, bears some resemblance to Toyota's most recent stylings.
We'll have more when the iM Concept debuts in LA on November 19. Until then, check out the pair of teasers and the official press release, available below.
