Scion Xb 2006 Release Series 4.0 With Low Miles, Automatic on 2040-cars
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! |

Cheap, honest transportation | 2017 Toyota Yaris iA
Fri, Mar 24 2017In The Love Bug, the main character (aside from Herbie) is a down-on-his-luck racing driver named Jim Douglas. Early on, he steps into an exotic car show room, and when the dealer asks him kind of car he's looking for, Douglas replies, "What do you have in the way of cheap, honest transportation?" The dealer quickly snatches his fancy liquor back from Douglas and soon after Herbie shows up from the back of the showroom. But if this happened today, you could easily replace the classic Beetle with a 2017 Toyota Yaris iA. The poor thing isn't nearly as endearing to look at as a classic Bug, as a result of the rather unattractive nose, and it's now using a second pseudonym (first Scion iA, then Toyota Yaris iA) to hide its Mazda heritage. However, everything else about it nails the description of cheap, honest transportation. And for that reason, it's a lovely little car. Let's start with honesty, and it begins from the minute you start equipping the car – the iA is a "what you see is what you get" proposition. You see, the iA moniker isn't the only holdover from the Scion era. The Toyota Yaris iA retains its "monospec" configuration, which means it comes with only one option: the transmission. Customers can choose from either a 6-speed manual like our test car, or a 6-speed automatic which costs $1,100. Everything else is standard, and "everything" includes some choice features. You get alloy wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, USB and Bluetooth integration, a rear-view camera, tilt and telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, and keyless entry with push-button start. Technically there are a number of dealer-installed accessories too, including your typical fare of mudguards, rear spoiler, cargo organizers, and such. However, none of them are really necessary, with one exception. For some odd reason, the Yaris iA does not come with a center armrest. It's a $195 accessory, and frankly it should be a standard feature because it's so useful. If you hadn't guessed, ours wasn't equipped with it. Everywhere else the iA is a thoroughly pleasant car, if not as sporty as the old Mazda2. The little 1.5-liter four-cylinder under the hood isn't particularly potent with 106 horsepower and 103 lb-ft of torque. But with a Miata-like 2,385-pound curb weight and our car's manual transmission, it manages to feel fairly sprightly, and never has any trouble dicing it up with traffic. That transmission is pretty decent, too.
Scion sketches SEMA spread starring Slayer, skateboarder
Sat, 20 Sep 2014I was in Nashville last weekend for a friend's bachelor party. It's all rather fuzzy, but I do recall that my friends and I found it hilarious to request Slayer every time one of the country groups on the Broadway strip asked for a specific song to be played. While there were a few good sports, most didn't find it too funny, largely because country music and Slayer don't mix all that well. Actually, Slayer and a lot of things don't mix too well. Like Slayer and Scion, Toyota's slowly withering youth brand.
This mish-mash hasn't prevented the Japanese budget brand from teaming with the metal group for a concept vehicle based on the tC coupe (shown above). If the Slayer link is a bit too extreme, Scion has a more mainstream xB, styled by skateboarder Riley Hawk on the way. Both new vehicles will be shown at the upcoming SEMA show, but Scion has opted to release a pair of sketches of both aftermarket creations ahead of the Las Vegas expo.
It's hard to tell what kind of exterior changes have been made to the tC, although Scion says the cabin now boasts a 32-inch monitor, as well as a heavily revamped stereo. As you can see, it will say "Slayer" on the door, in the band's stylized script.
Scion C-HR Concept looks sharp at LA Auto Show
Wed, Nov 18 2015The Scion C-HR concept was shown off as a Toyota concept last year at the Paris Motor Show, and we've been told it will show up at next year's Geneva Motor Show in production form. In the transition from a Toyota to a US-focused Scion, though, it's been saddled with a regrettable piece of marketing-speak: the press release says the C-HR concept was designed for "yuccies." That's an acronym describing 'young, urban creatives,' and it should go away. The C-HR is at the LA Auto Show, however, a visually fascinating concept that we're looking forward to seeing in production form; it could be good, or it could be meh. The C-HR stands for "Compact size and High Ride height," partly an effect of 21-inch wheels, and Scion says it will combine "supreme functionality" and "sporty performance" under that "polarizing" skin. We don't know much more than that about it now, save that its purpose is to be "a fantastic urban driving car." The press release below has lots of adjectives to help you imagine what that means; apparently, if you like cutting boards with grid lines and "earthy, modern terrariums," this will be for you. Related Video: Scion's Next Icon: World Debut of C-HR Concept Car at Los Angeles Auto Show TORRANCE, Calif., Nov. 18, 2015 – When the designers for the Scion C-HR concept began their research, they were told by young urban creative customers, "Polarizing is ok. Boring is not." That sentiment was evident today as the Scion C-HR concept had its World Debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show. With an iconic design that also incorporates functionality and sporty performance, the Scion C-HR concept is much like Scion's customer in that it strives to stand out from the crowd. "Scion is known for doing things differently, and maybe even being a little weird," said Scion Vice President Andrew Gilleland. "This C-HR concept embraces that idea and wears it like a badge of honor. We couldn't be more excited to add the production version to our line-up." The C-HR concept is named for its Compact size and High Ride height. With five doors and a hatch for supreme functionality, it's the perfect vehicle for "yuccies," the young urban creatives who inspired the design. These customers put an emphasis on great design and wanted something distinctive, sophisticated, passionate and clean. They viewed most SUVs as too boring and wanted something for their urban lifestyle that sparked emotion.
