Scion Xb 2006 Release Series 4.0 With Low Miles, Automatic on 2040-cars
|
I bought this car new in early 2007 after we fell in love with the Torched Penny paint job and were amazed by the interior room. This has been my daily driver for the last 7 years and it only has 83,xxx miles on it now. All of the service work has been done at Rice Toyota and I just put a brand new set of tires on it in the last year. Scion's only have ONE option, they come fully loaded, and that is the automatic transmission which is really nice! The dealer add-ons included the XM radio and cruise control. What makes this car unique is two things, the first is that it is a special edition, Scion puts these out every year or two with a special paint job, ground effects package, spoiler, special trim and a NUMBERED plate showing that this car is #1469 of 2500 made. The special package was approx. $2000 from what I remember and appear to be pretty popular when you google it. Scion has a unique page showing every Release Series they have offered. The second unique feature of THIS car is that fact that we really wanted a sunroof and the dealer had one installed for us. I guess this could be called a 'moon roof' which is to say it tilts up and down AND slides back into the roof as well. There is also a sliding cover for when it is closed and you want to keep the sunshine out. That was about $1,500 add on to the price of the car. They were both worth the expense, the car really is eye catching, the paint job is iridescent (changes color depending on the angle you are looking at it) and there is only one other one like it in the Triad area that I have seen over the last 7 years!! The engine is a very peppy 1.5L and my best mpg was in the mid to low 30s when traveling all highway from here to the beach. During all of this snow stuff this year, except for when the snow was really high (big snow berms to worry about) the front wheel drive took me to/from work every day without any issues. It DOES have traction control, which is a great safety feature and does kick in if the car senses it is sliding, etc. The interior is a dark charcoal in color, there is an extra mat that covers the trunk area and the seats are all in good condition, no tears or such. Everything works great on the car, no issues, a/c blows nice and cold, I actually have started the 2 month xm radio trial in case folks wanted to hear that when you test drive the car. So why am I getting rid of it? The answer is that my wife and I are really wanting a Jeep Wrangler, I have owned several over the years and this is the year that I get another one for the summer. If you are interested in a great car, LOTS of interior room, 30 mpg daily driver with LOW miles and unique features, this is the car for you. Shoot me an email, text or call and we can get together. My price is pretty firm at this point, I am not in a big hurry to sell and I know that with the low miles, special edition PLUS sunroof, this car is listing for $12k retail or more! |

Scion xB won't live past 2015
Sun, Jun 28 2015The grim reaper has trailed the Scion xB for three years, and in 2015, he swings his scythe. Scion VP Doug Murtha told WardsAuto last week that as of the end of this year, the xB will be gone. It will have lived just one year longer than the Scion xD, which was updated for the 2014 model year and at one point had been expected to live until the end of this year. As we've known for a while, the new Scion iM will replace the once-icon xB. Or perhaps that's 'supersede' the once-icon, since even company brass knows that the iM, which is Europe's Toyota Auris five-door hatchback, isn't a replacement for the unapologetic box that was the xB. The xB was one of the cubic trio – along with the first of its kind here, the Honda Element, and the aptly named Nissan Cube – all of which had a hard time figuring out a second act. The Kia Soul is the last of the proud geometric figures, and six years into its run here it is doing better than ever, 2014 being a record year for the model. The xB was well into its decline after the same amount of time on the market. Cars Direct says that if you want an xB then you shouldn't wait, and, "It might be a good idea to make a move soon." On the other hand, CD advises that "if you're looking for a better deal," then it's the Kia Soul you want. Insert that chestnut here about the mighty, and the falling. Related Video:

Scion FR-S SCCA World Challenge racecar, ready for the track
Thu, 01 Nov 2012Of all the many Scion FR-S models here on the SEMA floor in Las Vegas - and there are a great many of them, have no doubt - the very purpose-built car from Stout Racing is one that we may hear about again in the future.
The Stout Racing team will be campaigning the racy FR-S in the SCCA World Challenge series in the upcoming season, and is currently building some buzz on the Scion SEMA show stand. The car makes use of a supercharger that was jointly developed by Stout and TRD, as well as a front splitter, doors and rear wing - all by Vertex.
Driver Robert Stout will run the FR-S in the GTS class next year, with a debut slated for the Streets of St. Petersburg event, scheduled to go off in March of 2013.
