We are selling our one-owner Scion xb (made by Toyota) compact sport utility vehicle / car. We had it converted by Freedom Motors in Battle Creek, MI. As shown in the photos, it has a passenger side entry/ramp. We chose the manual ramp because it is quick and easy, as well as trouble free - we wanted to avoid the $$$ costly repairs to the automatic ramp in our previous minvan. The Scion xb has won the Top Safety Pick for 6 years in a row. Made by Toyota, the Scion is guaranteed to run for many, many more years.

The car will accommodate most wheelchairs, including most power wheelchairs, but unfortunately we unknowingly just bought our daughter one of the few that will not fit (a Permobil m300; the c300 does fit). Sadly, we have to go back to a minivan thus have to sell our Scion.

The best feature of the Scion is it's awesome mileage - I get 33 mpg highway and 26 or 27 city. I usually average 30 or so because I do a little of both - though that number drops in the really cold weather. My mileage is higher than the ratings for the vehicle. I assume that's because it has a MANUAL TRANSMISSION. The configuration worked great for our family - my daughter in her wheelchair sits beside the driver and there is still seating for 3 more passengers in the back. Also an impressive amount of storage in the rear area (more than the minivan we switched out of for the Scion!). One of my photos shows the car with the original cloth seat back in place, but it rolls out for wheelchair use.

We have put about 57,000 miles on the car and my husband diligently changed oil and kept up with all maintenance. The air conditioning works great, and it has cruise and a stereo with cd player and comfortable driver's seat. We recently put new tires on the car so they should last a good long while. I would never be selling, except for the issue with my daughter's power chair. We also will include a set of q'straint straps. There is also a trailer hitch, as this car can pull a trailer or very light camper.

We have priced it below the $20,000 appraisal we received from Freedom Motors and will entertain all fair offers.

So if you have the ability to drive a 5 speed manual (or are willing to learn - it's fun!) and are looking for a very fuel efficient wheelchair-converted vehicle, this car is a welcome alternative to the minivan. Again, most chairs will fit, but you will need to check yours specifically. We have no mechanical issues whatsoever - we took care of it carefully and intended to drive it for years yet. One of our photos shows a small (nickel-sized) dent in passenger rear over the tire, and there are a couple scratches that go with it. Other than that the body is in great shape.

A $500.00 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction end. Full payment must be made within 7 days of auction end.

All funds must clear before vehicle is released. You will need to make arrangements for pickup, though we would assist in a short-distance delivery within Southern Wisconsin.

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.

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

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.
