 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.

Toyota FT-86 Open Concept would make a mighty fine droptop FR-S

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

There's nothing wrong with going topless. And Toyota is proving that its FT-86 (read: Scion FR-S/Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ) coupe is just as excellent with its roof removed. It may only be a concept, but this FT-86 Open previews a new droptop from the Japanese automaker to round out the Toyobaru sports car family. We're finally getting the chance to see the open-air FT-86 in person here at the Geneva Motor Show, and we're already yearning to take it canyon-carving.
Interestingly, the FT-86 retains the Toyota coupe's two-plus-two seating arrangement (we'd prefer a proper roadster setup here), but things still look good for this droptop two-door. We'll be curious to see how the car looks with its folding soft top in place (operated by fancy-shmancy electronics, by the way).
As for production intent, rumors have been flying about a production Scion FR-S convertible, but until we hear it directly from Toyota. Consider our hopes in check but our fingers crossed.

Scion celebrates first 10 years with special edition models

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

As the story goes, Toyota's Scion brand was imagined up in someone's basement and then came to fruition in 2003 as a youth-oriented brand with a focus on delivering unique vehicles with an equally unique retail experience. A decade later, the brand has grown to five models, which will each be commemorated starting in June with a new Scion 10 Series edition.
In varying quantities, Scion will be offering the FR-S, tC, iQ, xB and xD with an exclusive package that will all come in the Silver Ignition exterior color. Aside from the paint, these cars will also receive Scion badges on the front and rear that are backlit with blue LEDs that illuminate when the car is unlocked. Silver seat belts and a solar-powered illuminated shift knob will help distinguish the interiors of these cars, but the iQ, xB and xD will stand out further from the outside with darker alloy wheels.
In total, just 10,000 Scion 10 Series models are planned, and each will be identifiable with a sequentially numbered badge inside the car. The redesigned 2014 tC will get the most of the special-edition models with 3,500 units, while other new models like the FR-S and iQ will be restricted to just 2,500 units and 900 units, respectively. The original Scion, the xB, will get 2,100 Scion 10 Series models, and the xD will round out the 10,000-unit run with 1,000 models being produced. Scroll down for the official press release.

Dubai claims debut of Toyota GT86 sedan concept

Sun, 03 Nov 2013

Typically, when the organizers of an auto show reveal that a new car will debut at their show, we take notice. But this particular claim from the Dubai International Motor Show ought to be taken with a grain of salt.
As our compatriots at AutoGuide discovered, the Facebook page for the Emirates auto expo includes a post with an interesting claim: that a sedan based on the Toyota GT86 (known in the US as the Scion FR-S) will debut at the show. The Facebook post is accompanied by the image above, purporting to show the concept in question.
The strange part is that the organizers claim the four-door GT86 concept will make its "regional unveil" at the Dubai show, which would seem to indicate that the concept in question would make its international debut at an earlier show. Considering that the doors open in Dubai on Tuesday, that seems increasingly unlikely. All of this begs the question, If this isn't actually a four-door GT86, what might it be?
