 AWESOME 2011 SCION xB 5-SPEED MANUAL-   PRIVATE AUCTION!

We purchased this car new in August of 2010 from James Toyota in Flemington, NJ and it is gorgeous.  It has always been kept in a garage, always filled with name-brand gas, always dealer-serviced and nobody has ever smoked in it.  It has never been in an accident of any kind.  Its exterior color is “Super White” and I can’t find the name that Scion uses for the interior color but you can see from the pics that it is a really snazzy gray with patterned fabric.  

If there’s a 2011xB out there in better condition than this one, it’s probably because somebody bought one and hung it on their living-room wall!

You can pick through the equipment list (see the picture of the window sticker) but here are some highlights:

  • 2.4 liter 158 hp engine 
  • 5-speed manual transmission
  • Beautiful, upgraded 17” OZ Racing wheels (made in Italy!), with 235/45 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus Tires- with a good bit of tread left- see pic.  With these wheels, this is about the easiest car to spot in any parking lot!
  • ABS, Stability Control, Traction Control, Tire Pressure Sensors
  • Lot’s of airbags (never needed, thank goodness)
  • $1,900 Kenwood 200 watt DNX 6960 with massive 6.1” touch screen infotainment system including: tuner (obviously), Garmin-based GPS with turn-by-turn voice, cell phone interface (voice dial), ipod interface, CD/DVD player, Sirius/XM capability, steering wheel controls, and backup camera.  We also added a cable for iPhone hookup- see the pic.  Purchased from, and installed by, Sound Auto in Hamilton NJ (they have been around for decades and know what they’re doing with high-end auto).  (If you’re over 60 years old you probably won’t be able to figure this thing out, but then again if you’re looking for a Scion you’re probably not over 60!)
  • Power side mirrors with LED turn signals, halogen headlamps, rear windshield wiper
  • Power windows with auto-down, power locks, cruise control
  • Rear window defogger, rear tinted glass
  • EPA estimates: 22/28 mpg
  • Tilt/telescoping steering wheel- this really makes a difference in fitting the car to YOU!
  • Dealer installed Scion accessories: rear spoiler, auto-dimming mirror, super-cool blue-glowing “Scion” illuminated inserts in the running boards (check these at night!), cargo cover (works great- easy on-and-off), rear bumper “Scion” inlay, front mats
  • 6 speakers (three more than you really need, but whatever- they sound great!) 
  • 1/3, 2/3 split rear seat
  • Truly cavernous rear area with the rear seats folded flat.  For example, if you owned a Mini and it had a flat tire, you could just put it in the back and take it home.  Just kidding- but just barely- see the pic!
  • Check out the cool organizer under the rear floor-mat:  really nice for us OCD types!
  • I have all documentation- including manuals (which come in a zippered case- yeah really), the window sticker and all service records and these will be turned over to you
  • I’m pretty fussy about all of my stuff, so this car has been kept up meticulously.
  • I have included pictures of the odometer reading and VIN number 
  • genuine donut spare tire 

Current mileage (as of 12/24/2013) is 36,325 miles.  VIN # JTLZE4FE6B1122964

Why are we selling it?  All right, this is my wife’s car.  I am a manual transmission fanatic, she wants an automatic.  I love sports cars, she wants a luxury car.  I say this is both; she doesn’t agree.  This is a gorgeous car- I’m gonna miss it; she… not so much.  You get the picture.

Here’s what works on this car: Everything!!

Here’s what you should know is not perfect:

  • Yes, she has scuffed the wheels on the passenger side a few times against curbs.  (My wife says it just looks stupid to leave the car 3 feet from the curb).  It’s pretty minor- see the wheel pic for a typical scuff.
  • Some jerk ran something into the right side of the rear bumper- a shopping cart?  Anyway, there is scuffing and a crease there.  It’s not too noticeable-see the pic.
  • There is some of the usual minor road rash-tiny bits of nicked paint from gravel hitting the front end.  There is less of this than you will find on a typical car of this mileage- and nothing very noticeable.  I’ve tried to show everything in the pics- zoom in for the most detail.

Repairs that have been done on this car:

  • All routine maintenance (every 5,000 miles) was performed by a dealer.
  • That’s it- nothing else of any significance.  We will give you all records with the car.

I am a straight-shooter, and you can bid with confidence.  I have bought and sold on EBay many times over the years (including a couple of cars) and I have never received any negative feedback whatsoever.

I will require cash or a bank cashier’s check and ID at pickup.  I will require a deposit of $1,500 by cash, bank cashier’s check, or Paypal within 48 hours after the auction closes.  You must pay the balance by cash or cashier’s check and pick up the car within 7 days after the auction closes.  (I will accept Paypal for the balance of payment if you add 2.9% to the balance, which is what Paypal charges a seller to accept payment- believe it or not!)

The xB must be picked up in person in Pennington, NJ.  You will have to bring plates to drive it home.

When you come to pick up the car, I will be happy to go with you for a drive on a variety of nearby roads.  If this drive shows up any mechanical problems, I will return your deposit and you will be under no obligation to buy the car.

Other than this caveat, however: If you are the winning bidder on this car, you are legally obligated to follow through on the purchase!

MY RESERVE PRICE IS $13,700 ON THIS CAR.  I AM NOT WILLING TO TAKE ANY LESS.  SURE, IF NOBODY WILL PAY THAT PRICE AFTER ANOTHER LISTING OR TWO, I WILL LOWER THE PRICE, BUT I BELIEVE THIS IS A FAIR PRICE FOR A MANUAL xB IN THIS CONDITION.

If you have any questions, please email me.  Good luck on your bidding.

Scion tC changes, barely, for 2016

Tue, Jul 21 2015

The Scion iA and iM have cornered the recent headlines, but for now the tC remains the brand's milk and honey. Upgrades for the 2016 model are sprinkled throughout the cabin, from tiny tweaks like silver door handles inside to the leather shift knob, which is currently a $99 option. Scion touts the seven-inch Pioneer touchscreen Display Audio that's standard on base models, but that comes in the current tC. The head unit includes convenience features such as Bluetooth and voice recognition. A smart key and pushbutton start also get in the press release, but they, too, are standard features on the 2015 model. What can look forward to is a rear windshield wiper as standard fit. Prices for both manual and automatic have gone up slightly. The six-speed manual will start at $19,385, the six-speed automatic at $20,535, both prices a $175 increase compared to the present models. Destination and handling will throw another $770 onto that. You'll find a few photos above and a press release below with a bit more information. Related Video: 2016 Scion tC Upgrades Make for Alluring Touring TORRANCE, Calif., (July 16, 2015) – Scion's top seller, the tC sports coupe, adds new sound, smarts and swishes as it enters the 2016 model year. A new standard audio system, a host of upgraded interior features including a Smart Key with push-button start, and the addition of a standard rear windshield wiper add to the fun and functionality of the tC. The 2016 tC retains its thrill-to-value proposition with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $19,385 for the six-speed manual transmission and $20,535 for the six-speed automatic with paddle shifters and Dynamic Rev Management®. This price excludes a delivery, processing and handling (DPH) fee of $795. The new standard audio system features a large 7-inch Pioneer® touchscreen Display Audio system with AM/FM/HD radio™, voice recognition, Bluetooth® hands-free and streaming audio, and the Aha™ app which provides access to 100,000 Internet radio options. Also new to the interior of the tC are new silver interior door handles, a new center console tray cover and a leather-wrapped shift knob. The 2016 tC will be available in dealerships starting in August.

Toyota fills in details about its future design direction and global platform

Fri, 25 Oct 2013



"In the future, out of 100 customers, we want to excite ten of them instead of not offending all 100."
Almost all of the details about the Toyota New Group Architecture (TNGA) strategy have come out since the initiative was first reported on in March of this year, but Autoblog did learn a few new things about it on a recent trip to Japan. Probably the second-most important detail is that each new segment platform will be based around a common hip point to create an "optimal driving position architecture."

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).
