Mileage:83500

I bought this car new in early 2007 after we fell in love with the Torched Penny paint job and were amazed by the interior room. This has been my daily driver for the last 7 years and it only has 83,xxx miles on it now. All of the service work has been done at Rice Toyota and I just put a brand new set of tires on it in the last year. Scion's only have ONE option, they come fully loaded, and that is the automatic transmission which is really nice! The dealer add-ons included the XM radio and cruise control. What makes this car unique is two things, the first is that it is a special edition, Scion puts these out every year or two with a special paint job, ground effects package, spoiler, special trim and a NUMBERED plate showing that this car is #1469 of 2500 made. The special package was approx. $2000 from what I remember and appear to be pretty popular when you google it. Scion has a unique page showing every Release Series they have offered. The second unique feature of THIS car is that fact that we really wanted a sunroof and the dealer had one installed for us. I guess this could be called a 'moon roof' which is to say it tilts up and down AND slides back into the roof as well. There is also a sliding cover for when it is closed and you want to keep the sunshine out. That was about $1,500 add on to the price of the car. They were both worth the expense, the car really is eye catching, the paint job is iridescent (changes color depending on the angle you are looking at it) and there is only one other one like it in the Triad area that I have seen over the last 7 years!! The engine is a very peppy 1.5L and my best mpg was in the mid to low 30s when traveling all highway from here to the beach. During all of this snow stuff this year, except for when the snow was really high (big snow berms to worry about) the front wheel drive took me to/from work every day without any issues. It DOES have traction control, which is a great safety feature and does kick in if the car senses it is sliding, etc. The interior is a dark charcoal in color, there is an extra mat that covers the trunk area and the seats are all in good condition, no tears or such. Everything works great on the car, no issues, a/c blows nice and cold, I actually have started the 2 month xm radio trial in case folks wanted to hear that when you test drive the car. So why am I getting rid of it? The answer is that my wife and I are really wanting a Jeep Wrangler, I have owned several over the years and this is the year that I get another one for the summer. If you are interested in a great car, LOTS of interior room, 30 mpg daily driver with LOW miles and unique features, this is the car for you. Shoot me an email, text or call and we can get together. My price is pretty firm at this point, I am not in a big hurry to sell and I know that with the low miles, special edition PLUS sunroof, this car is listing for $12k retail or more! |

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
Toyota profits up 23% on high US sales, despite mounting legal costs
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Toyota earned $9.3 billion in net income in the financial year that ends next month. The number beats earlier forecasts and marks a five-year high for the automaker, with both operating income and revenue up by 9.5 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively. Toyota saw quarterly profit enjoy a year-on-year jump of 23.4 percent, with the manufacturer earning more than $1 billion between October and December 2012. The good news comes in spite of the fact that the Japanese automaker actually endured an operating loss in North America, due in part to legal fees.
Toyota is set to pay more than $1 billion to owners who claim their vehicles decreased in value as a result of the company's recent spate of recalls. Even so, all three of the automaker's brands enjoyed a 13.5 percent sales increase in the US in the last quarter, beating the industry average. Toyota faltered in Europe, however, where it earned $99 million in operating profit last year, compared to $111 million in 2011. You can take a closer look at the company's full press release below for more information.
Scion xB to be replaced by Auris hatchbach, iQ dead after 2014
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Scion seemed like such a good idea when it was first launched. Toyota's aim was to provide young people with stylish, affordable cars that would serve as a gateway to the automaker's family of products. It was also supposed to be something of an incubator for new ideas that were too radical for its more conservative Toyota and Lexus brands. Over a decade since its launch, the brand has languished, and today's showroom is populated by slow-selling and aging vehicles that have often been slow to receive upgrades. However, there may be a bright spot on the imminent horizon, as there are reportedly a slate of new models on the way over the next three years.
According to a model timeline published by Automotive News, the Scion lineup is about to get a major overhaul. First, the boxy xB may finally be going to the big refrigerator box in the sky, to be replaced by a version of the more conventionally styled Auris hatchback (pictured above) from overseas markets in early 2015. Later next year, the xD will also allegedly bow out in favor of a new hatchback based on the Mazda2 (thanks to a recently signed platform-sharing deal). For 2016, the sporty tC hatchback is also said to get a redesign, and interestingly enough, a Corolla-based compact crossover could join the ranks, too.
While those changes should boost sales volume, there's also news that's sure to make enthusiasts happy. Automotive News cites company executives who confirm a second-generation FR-S is on the way in early 2017. A Subaru exec also recently gave a similar confirmation that it was working on another BRZ.
