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.

Toyota to offer sedan version of GT 86?

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

Sources in Australia are reporting that we'll be seeing a small, rear-drive sedan from Toyota, based on the GT 86/Scion FR-S. Yes, a convertible variant is still in limbo, but a four-door sedan is in the works. It's unclear if the rumored GT 86 sedan would spawn Scion and Subaru variants (it's hard to cross all ten fingers while you type, but we're having a go).
Working with remarks made by the car's chief engineer Tetsuya Tada in his blog and a rendering from Japanese magazine Holiday Auto, the Australian site Motoring is claiming that the new model's wheelbase will grow about four inches over the current GT 86's 101.2-inch wheelbase.
Besides the larger overall space between the axles, the sedan will offer a more potent engine option over the current 2.0-liter, flat-four. Promising 268 horsepower, which is a big jump over the current car's 200 ponies, the new powertrain will be derived from the Hybrid R setup, shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show. If, like us, you're reaching for the salt, and we don't blame you.

Audi S4 drivers are the most accident-prone, insurance report says

Sun, Jun 25 2023

Culling data from more than 4.6 million automobile insurance applications, researchers at the Insurify insurance comparison marketplace picked a winner — or more to the point, a loser — in its determination of the car model with the most accidents so far in 2023: the Audi S4. Why does the sporty, luxury-class German sedan rank so high (or so low)? The organization found that S4 drivers, piloting a car with almost 350 horsepower, are among those who collect the most speeding tickets, and that they get into accidents at a rate 54 percent higher than the national average. If the S4 isnÂ’t a surprise with an at-fault accident rate of 11.7 percent, consider the “family friendly” brand that appears three times on the Insurity list: Subaru. It is represented by three models, including the turbocharged WRX and XV Crosstrek, and at the better-performing bottom of the list, the Subaru Impreza, with an accident rate of 10.3 percent.  In 2023, 7.6 percent of U.S. drivers were involved in at least one at-fault accident in the prior seven years. For drivers of cars on this list, the average at-fault accident rate was 10.5 percent, meaning these drivers are 1.4 times as likely to have an at-fault accident on record. According to its statement, the Insurity data science team explored key safety features, driver behavior, and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluations to pinpoint possible reasons behind these carsÂ’ high accident rates. Following is the list, counting down to the models with most reported accidents: 10. Subaru Impreza (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.3 percent; MSRP base model): $19,795) 9. Kia Niro (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4 percent; MSRP base model): $26,590) 8. Chevrolet Silverado LD (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4%, MSRP base model): $34,500) 7. Subaru XV Crosstrek (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.5 percent, MSRP 6. Subaru WRX.(percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.7% MSRP base model): $29,605) 5. Toyota GR86 (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.8 percent MSRP base model): $29,900) 4. Hyundai Veloster N (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.9 percent; MSRP base model): $32,500) 3.

Scion reveals iM concept ahead of LA debut

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

After dropping a teaser image on us a few weeks ago, Scion has revealed in full the new iM Concept it's bringing to the Los Angeles Auto Show next week. As expected, the concept is clearly a rebadged version of the Euro-market Toyota Auris, only with some "European Racing Circuit Styling" upgrades to make it look more aggressive.
Along with the Scion logos, the five-door hatch is treated to a deeper air dam flanked by angular vents with stacked fog lamps, beefed-up wheel arches linked by widened side sills and filled with 19-inch, anthracite-finish alloys on low-profile rubber. Vented brake discs and four-piston calipers join an adjustable suspension as show-worthy equipment upgrades.
The sporty treatment continues around back with a similarly aggressive rear bumper and roof spoiler. Even the wing mirrors are replaced with narrower units. Little wonder it's all done up in a shade Scion calls "incrediblue" that looks rather similar to what sister-brand Lexus would put on one of its F-branded performance models - or for that matter what corporate ally Subaru would put on an STI hot hatches like the WRX.
