Up for sale my girlfriend's 2008 Scion tC RS 4.0


We originally bought the car with 76,000 miles on it a little over a year ago in Long Island, NY and brought it back to Maine. We absolutely fell in love with Scion brand and now currently own two of them (2012 Scion tC). We were hoping to keep the car for a few years but due to excessive travel to work (80 miles a day, five times per week!), we have put on more then 20,000 miles in less then a year. This is the only reason why we are now selling our baby.

As of April 19, 2013, this is the only RS 4.0 for sale on eBay! This is #1559 of 2300 ever built. To my knowledge, there has been only two cars (of non-luxury brands) to feature all-Alcantara interior upholstery ever made - 2007 Scion tC RS 3.0 and 2008 Scion tC RS 4.0. The other features of RS 4.0 include:
  • Exclusive Galactic Flint Mica exterior paint
  • DAMD full body kit with exclusive badging on both sides of the car (see picture below)
  • Exclusive upper grill made only for RS 4.0
  • Exclusive black leather and dark wood RAZO shift knob
  • Individually numbered badge in the middle of the dashboard "SCION tC / Release Series 4.0 / 1559 of 2300" (see picture below) 

The car is perfect. We are the second owners and have been servicing the car in Scion dealership ever since we bought it in Long Island. All of almost 98,000 miles are highway miles and only slightly seen on the car. Beautiful, one of a kind Flint Mica paint is in perfect condition with minor scratches, which are normal for a 5 year old car. Mechanically the car is absolutely perfect. It has brand new high performance Kumho Ecsta tires, which make the car ride soft and quiet. It has been religiously serviced in local Scion dealership every 5,000k. All the paperwork will be provided upon the purchase. The car has been professionally tinted with 35% tint all around and has lifetime warranty with all provided paperwork. It also has some additional minor exterior enhancements like shorty Honda antenna, Scion fuel door vinyl decal, Bosch windshield wipers, and Scion real carbon fiber bi-pillar appliqu'e. Everything else is stock and has never been modded.   

As for the features, car has:
  • Full-glass panoramic roof with slide/open sun roof options
  • Pioneer in-dash Scion stereo with 6 speakers features more than 160 watt of powerful sound
  • Power locks and mirrors, power one-click windows, keyless entry
  • Cruise control, digital A/C with outside temperature view option (for some reason not available on 2011 and up models)
  • iPod plug-in with cable and controls via head unit
  • FWD, four-cylinder DOHC engine, 161 hp @ 6000rpm; 162 ft-lbs. @ 4000rpm; automatic 4-speed transmission  

The car is in exceptional condition and will be a great buy for people who love Scion brand like we do, or for someone who wants a fun little hatchback that gets great mpg (up to 30MPG on highway).

This is the third car I am selling on eBay and I encourage you to look up my previous listings to see how satisfied my previous buyers were. This is an auction based listing with "Buy it Now" option. I do have a reserve set, so if you would like to make private sale please contact me to make arrangements.

If you have any questions about the car please contact me via eBay and I will be happy to respond to you in a timely manner. 
PLEASE NOTE: the car is a daily driver so the actual mileage will differ from the mileage listed.

Rutledge Wood wins Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race in Long Beach

Sun, 21 Apr 2013

Rutledge Wood took home the checkered flag at this year's Toyota Pro/Celebrity race at the Grand Prix of Long Beach. The Top Gear USA presenter, Fox Sports commentator and Honda Wagovan owner managed to take pole position in qualifying, but lost his lead early in the race to Mark Steines. Steines has competed in the Pro/Celebrity race four times so far, but the Hallmark channel host of Home and Family couldn't quite hold on to the lead. Wood eventually made up the ground he had lost for the win. This year, all the participants went fender to fender in identically prepared Scion FR-S racers.
Meanwhile, Adam Carolla took first in the Pro category, and Toyota donated $5,000 on behalf of each participant to Racing for Kids. The charity benefits children's hospitals in the Long Beach area, and this year Toyota donated a total of $90,000. Check out the full press release below for more information.

Aston CEO claims Cygnet cancelled because Toyota is dropping iQ in 2014

Sun, 27 Oct 2013

While slow sales and a $50,000 price tag may have been contributing factors to the Aston Martin Cygnet being cancelled last month, Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez is pointing the finger at Toyota for the demise of this luxurious little city car. In a discussion with Autocar, Bez is quoted as saying that the ultimate reason the Cygnet was cut is because Toyota plans on dropping the iQ (on which the Cygnet is based) in 2014 - a claim denied by the Japanese automaker.
Interestingly, the article also cites another publication reporting that a Toyota importer in the Netherlands heard the same news as Bez, and it has already stopped importing the cars. If the European Toyota iQ is cancelled, that would likely spell the end of the slow-selling Scion iQ in the US, which has sold just 3,365 units through September (a drop of 51 percent year over year).
Regardless of why production of the Cygnet ended, Bez also says that a lack of support from Toyota on the project prevented it from being offered in the US or receiving a supercharged engine, which are two factors that likely would have made the car appealing to more buyers.

Toyota CEO Lentz still envisions Scion as a small premium brand

Sat, Dec 6 2014

Ward's Auto has published a piece on Scion that further confirms that we really have no idea what to expect from the brand. In speaking with Toyota USA CEO Jim Lentz about what was once firmly intended to be a hip, experimental youth brand, Lentz said, "I still personally believe small-premium is the direction we should be going." We'll walk right on by Lentz's use of the word "still" and focus on "small-premium" with the question: How? As much as we dig the FR-S, nothing in the brand's lineup can get within a whiff of the word "premium." It's even further away from being able to sniff the lifestyle-powered exhaust of a Mini or Fiat 500, and the production version of the forthcoming IM Concept (inset) will only draw it closer to its plain vanilla parent. Of course, Scion could head the premium way, but the amount of time and money needed to make it work would seem to go against everything the brand currently stands for. The murk stays just as murky when Lentz's words are placed next to those of Scion brand VP Doug Murtha, who spoke to Ward's at a different time. Murtha's response to the "small-premium" note was, "He may be having discussions at levels I'm not," and that such intent is "probably a longer-term proposition than we're looking at right now," with planning under way out to 2025. We're already being prepared for the iM to come in under $20,000, which will ensure the "attainability factor" of the "younger audience" that Murtha still views as Scion's base. And at the moment, Murtha is probably focused on adding desirability to the current lineup, halting the 14-percent year-over-year sales slide to a point that's just over half the annual volume necessary for profitability, and making sure he and his dealers have the support necessary to make the required splash with new product. Aside from all that, what might we expect? We know there'll be another product shown along with the production IM at the 2015 New York Auto Show, and Murtha isn't against a small crossover if they can come up with "something appropriately Scion-esque." So... there's that.
