2011 Scion Xb Handicap ( Wheelchair ) Conversion Van / Car on 2040-cars

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 iA and iM rolled into Yaris and Corolla lineups for 2017

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The Scion brand may be going away, but most of its cars (sorry, tC) are living on. We'll see the 2017 Toyota 86 (nee Scion FR-S) at the New York Auto Show next week, and the automaker already confirmed that the Scion iA and iM will be rebadged as Toyotas. But instead of standing on their own, the former Scions will be rolled into existing model lines. "Yaris iA" and "Corolla iM" will be the official names of the cars, effective for 2017. It's a smart move, paring the relatively new Scion nameplates with well-known, existing Toyota monikers. Scion spokeswoman Nancy Hubbell tells Autoblog that the iA already exists as the Yaris in the Canadian and Mexican markets, so "that connection was already there." Plus, it's better for marketing. The combination of the two vehicles all under the Yaris nameplate means Toyota can focus its advertising dollars on one vehicle line, simply saying that you can now have the Yaris as a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback. "The same goes with Corolla," Hubbell explains. She says the existing Toyota sedan and the Scion iM "paired really well," and again, it means Toyota can advertise the Corolla as having two body styles moving forward. There are benefits from a sales perspective, too. Never mind that Scion division sales were already included in Toyota's overall numbers – calling the new cars Yaris iA and Corolla iM means the company won't have to report these cars individual sales separately. It's like when Toyota made the Matrix – its technical name was Corolla Matrix, so its individual sales didn't have to be broken out. That means an extra boost in overall numbers for the Yaris and Corolla, even if the cars would have been reported under Toyota's numbers had they kept their Scion badges.

2016 Scion iA shows its face, for better or worse, in New York [w/video]

Wed, Apr 1 2015

We have a theory that, among auto designers, there's something resembling Stockholm Syndrome. Designers spend so many hours looking at a single product that, after awhile, they can't help but fall in love with it, regardless of how bad it may look to everyone else. That might explain the appearance of the Scion iA, which while largely similar to the handsome Mazda2, replaces that car's attractive five-pointed grille with what could be described as a gaping maw. Fortunately, it's only the Scion grille that really causes any offense. The parts of the iA that have been left to Mazda designers are, as we said, rather handsome. That includes both the attractive rear and the Kodo-derived lines found in the tiny sedan's profile. The cabin, meanwhile, is well outfitted with standard equipment, including a seven-inch touchscreen display. Plastic is the dominant material, although the overall layout is logical and mostly attractive. Have a look at our live gallery of images of Scion's first-ever four-door sedan. Sports Sedan that Shouts Success All-New 2016 Scion iA Rolls Into New York With a Trunk - Brand's first-ever sedan with dramatically sporty look and agile moves - Estimated MSRP in the $16,000-range for well-equipped mono-spec model • High-spirited 1.5-liter engine; estimated 42 MPG highway - Choice of 6-speed stick shift or 6-speed automatic - Standard Low-speed Pre-collision safety system - Roomy cabin with premium amenities - 7-inch multimedia system with voice recognition NEW YORK, March 31, 2015 – Scion is expanding its line-up in more ways than one. In addition to adding a new vehicle to its stable, it's also adding its first-ever sedan, the remarkably sporty, yet very affordable, 2016 Scion iA. The Scion iA sedan joins the all-new 2016 Scion iM hatchback for a one-two punch in the subcompact and compact segments. The new sans-hatch Scion will arrive in dealerships this fall for an estimated MSRP in the $16,000-range. That's for a mono-spec model equipped with standard Low-speed Pre-collision safety system and 7-inch multi-media system with voice activation. Because Scion has a no hassle, no haggle Pure Price, customers walk out the door with the same price they saw posted in the dealership. "Dramatic" could be an understatement when describing the visual impact of the 2016 Scion iA. Beneath the daringly curved sheetmetal lies a tight, agile machine that re-defines "entry level." Call the design "class above," a term that applies throughout the car.

Cosworth announces Power Packages for Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S with up to 380 hp [w/video]

Sat, 31 May 2014

Cosworth stands on the list of the most famous engine tuners in the world with its DFV engine engine dominating Formula One for a time in the '70s. So when it teases plans to take on the FA20 engine from Subaru and Toyota found in the BRZ, Scion FR-S and Toyota GT86 abroad, our interest is indeed piqued. Cosworth is promising to take the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder boxer engine from its current 200 horsepower all the way to 325 hp and even 380 hp in a future track version through a series of staged Power Packages. At the moment, only the first stage is available that takes the mill to a potent 230 hp.
Cosworth says that its new strategy is to offer its upgrades in kits rather than individually so that it can be sure that everything works and fits when owners receive it. The Stage 1 Power Package emphasizes helping the FA20 breathe better and includes a nearly complete replacement for the stock exhaust system. There is a sports exhaust with four-inch, diagonally cut, polished tips and Y-shaped muffler, an overpipe front pipe with a spherical resonator and a new manifold header that is 22 percent lighter the standard unit. In addition to that, the kit comes with a software reflash, low temperature thermostat, Cosworth badge and plaque.
The stage one kit is available now, and stages two and three go on sale later this summer, according to its website. Autoblog contacted Cosworth for pricing information for the kits. We will update this story, if we hear back. The company also released a video showing off the exhaust upgrades. Scroll down to watch it and read the full release, below.
