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 98,000 miles are highway miles and only slightly noticeable 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 may differ from the mileage listed.

Toyota recalls power window switches for 6.5 million vehicles [UPDATE]

Wed, Oct 21 2015

UPDATE: There was one incident of someone in the US getting a burn to the hand from this issue Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight tells Autoblog that. "We have 11 reports where part of the door trim and/or switch was burnt," she said. The company isn't aware of any crashes from the problem, though. Because of a potential short circuit in the driver's side power window switch, Toyota is recalling 6.5 million vehicles worldwide, Reuters reports. Of those, the automaker says around 2 million are in the US. The affected models here are: 2007 and 2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid 2009-2011 Corolla 2008-2011 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid 2009-2011 Matrix 2006-2011 RAV4 2009-2011 Sequoia 2009-2011 Tundra 2006-2010 Yaris 2009-2011 Scion xB 2009-2010 Scion xD According to Toyota, the switch might not have received adequate lubricant grease during manufacturing, and over time this could lead to a short circuit. In a worst-case scenario, the part might even overheat, melt and cause a fire. As a fix, dealers will inspect the component on these vehicles and apply heat-resistant grease to it, and any broken examples will have an internal circuit board replaced. Toyota already issued one recall for this problem in 2012 when it had to repair 7.5 million vehicles globally from the 2007-2009 model years, including 2.5 million in the US. These latest models had the grease applied in a different way. Related Video: Toyota Recalls Certain Vehicles for Power Window Master Switch October 21, 2015 TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 20, 2015 – Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. today announced that it is conducting a safety recall of approximately 2,000,000 vehicles related to the driver's side Power Window Master Switch. The involved vehicles include certain: 2007 and 2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid 2009-2011 Corolla 2008-2011 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid 2009-2011 Matrix 2006-2011 RAV4 2009-2011 Sequoia 2009-2011 Tundra 2006-2010 Yaris 2009-2011 Scion xB 2009-2010 Scion xD The Power Window Master Switch in the involved vehicles may have been manufactured with insufficient lubricant grease. If not enough grease is applied, under certain conditions the switch may develop a short circuit that can cause the switch assembly to overheat and melt. A melting switch can produce smoke and potentially lead to a fire. Toyota previously recalled certain 2007-2009 model year vehicles for a similar condition.

Toyota headed to New York with 2014 Highlander, revised Scion tC

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

Toyota has given us a look at what the company will bring to the 2013 New York Auto Show. Visitors will get to set their eyes upon the all-new 2014 Highlander, and while the automaker isn't saying much in the way of details, we do get the teaser you see above (click to enlarge) to ponder on until next week. The image shows little more than a headlamp and a bit of grille, but gives us the flavor of what the crossover will bring to the table.
Scion, meanwhile, says it plans to dust off the "new 2014 tC sports coupe." While we don't imagine the two door will have undergone a major surgery, we're interested to see what the automaker has cooked up. The tC last endured a redesign in 2011. Check out the brief press release below and look for the vehicles to bow on March 28.Y

Cars most likely to be involved in accidents

Tue, Nov 30 2021

Data from Insurify shows which models have the most accident-prone drivers behind the wheel. It also shows the proportion of the drivers of said vehicles with an at-fault accident on record in the past seven years, based on Insurify’s analysis of over 4 million car insurance applications. For reference, the national average is 10.78%, and each of these vehiclesÂ’ drivers represent a statistically significant increase over that. Now, it would be easy to infer that these cars are dangerous, but such is not necessarily the case. Remember, drivers cause accidents, not cars. These just happen to be the cars that accident-prone drivers drive. YouÂ’ll notice that many are mainstream, affordable cars, often with decent crash ratings. Also keep in mind that vehicle accidents are up since the beginning of the pandemic, so no matter what you drive, please drive safely. 10. Hyundai Ioniq This affordable, electrified vehicle platform sneaks into this list with 14.45% of drivers with a recent at-fault accident on record. 9. Lexus CT Another hybrid, this Prius-powered Lexus beats the national average at 14.57%. 8. Toyota Prius V Yet another hybrid, the larger but discontinued member of the Prius family sees 14.72% of its drivers with recent accidents. 7. Mazda CX-3 The Mazda CX-3, which is discontinued for the 2022 model year, sees the accident-prone making up 14.9% of its drivers. 6. Infiniti Q60 The second and final luxury car on this list has more accident-prone drivers than average, at 14.93%. 5. Subaru Impreza The first of two Subarus on this list has 15.1% of drivers with recent accidents on record. 4. Hyundai Genesis Coupe The Genesis Coupe was only on the market for a brief span before it was discontinued and Genesis spun off into its own luxury brand. That said, it too beats the national average for accidents, at 15.29%. 3. Subaru WRX Despite its standard all-wheel drive, the boy-racer WRX has 15.44% of drivers with a prior accident in the last seven years. 2. Kia Stinger We love the Kia Stinger, and had great luck with our long-termer that graced the Autoblog garage for a year. That said, 15.75% of its drivers represent have a recent accident on record. 1. Scion FR-S This fun two-seater attracts the most accident prone drivers, with 15.87% with recent at-fault crashes.
