Up for sale today is my one owner Scion FR-S Coupe. It has the 2.0L Boxer engine, a manual 5 speed transmission, and all the FR-S options. Bluetooth head unit, Suede seats, etc. I do a LOT of traveling, and put on 30,000 miles in one year traveling along the south and east coast. I always took it to the dealership every 3500 miles for proper maintenance items, coolant flushes, oil changes, etc. It was an excellent car, fun and sporty, great gas mileage. I am a 30 year old business professional, and never abused it. I put on lowering springs for a better appearance, other than that it was stock.

I was driving it around town in Ohio, and someone let their dog loose. It ran right into the middle of the road infront of me, and I slammed on the brakes and swearved to avoid hitting it. I impacted a fire hydrant going about 5-10 miles per hour, and the air bags deployed. It was towed to a lot, and my insurance company totalled it out due to being a 2013. The agent offered to sell me the car back for alittle under half retail, and since I knew the history of the car (and that the engine and transmission were untouched and fine,) I quickly bought it back with plans to put on Extreme Dimensions body panels and make it custom and unique.

I took it to my mechanic and body shop, they inspected the engine and transmission as you can see in the engine running videos and pictures below. Mechanically, the car is fine and will run and drive with no issues. The drivers front frame rail has a slight bend to it. I got the opinions of two certified body shops which estimated the repair at $900 for the frame rail, or $2500 for the complete repair, including panels and paint. The car is good from the doors back, and the only part of the frame that is damaged is the front half from the middle of the tire forward. I am on the road too much to finish this project, so I am offering it for sale.

Don't buy a salvage car from a reseller that won't provide an engine video and has no clue on the history of the car. Here is your chance to have a $25,000 car for much less than half that.

You will need the following items to finish the car:
Fenders
Hood
Bumper
Headlights
Air Intake
Radiator
Condensor
Washer Reservoir
Cooling Fan
Drivers side Front Lower Control Arm
Air Bag

If you have any questions, feel free to call, text, or email me 614-522-9626. I work for a transportation company, and get great rates on towing vehicles across the United States as well.

Here is a video of this FR-S running, and sounding great, like off the show room floor:

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.

Scion gets touchscreen audio across the board

Fri, 16 Aug 2013

On a constant mission to court younger buyers, Scion will be adding some new in-car technology to its lineup for the 2014 model year. All Scion products will now come standard with a 6.1-inch touchscreen audio head unit that we first saw on the 2014 tC (as shown above).
In standard form, this head unit will feature HD Radio, Bluetooth and auxiliary and USB ports. Opting for the $1,198 BeSpoke Premium system brings navigation, integrated social media apps, geo-located POIs and Aha internet radio.
Other changes announced along with the new touchscreen include new two-tone paint schemes for the 2014 xD, a limited-production iQ and pricing for the 2014 lineup. As shown in the gallery, customers can now choose from silver-on-blue and black-over-grey paint combos. The iQ Monogram gets a burgundy-over-silver paint job with a limited run of just 150 units, and it goes on sale in October starting at $16,520 (not including $755 for destination).

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
