100% sure that black Range Rover is top 10

I’ve been driving one of these for 11 years. It still drives great. 216k same as yours. Car runs perfectly. I’ve spent $200 in repairs since 2010 beyond maintenance. Can pull small loads too. Might be a good keeper to do running around in. Mine uses some oil and I’m gonna replace the motor soon so I bought a whole car with 79k that a tree fell on. Drove it home 400 miles. Drove perfectly.

I'm a huge fan of the VVT-I Engine. I have this set up in my Vibe. I did a transmission flush on it and it made all the difference. Made the car run like new, which is how it runs now with 230,000 on the clock. The trans pan has a drain bolt so no taking off pan, empty the 4 quarts from pan. Then replace the 4 quarts. Take trans line going into cooler on radiator off and stick it in bucket. Run the car and let the old fluid pump out. At some point put some fluid in so it doesn't run dry. When the new fluid comes out. . . .put hose back on cooler and top off. It takes around 9 quarts of fluid (4 in pan and 7.2 in torque converter) so it costs around $80.00 to $100 dollars total but its as fast as an oil change and makes all the difference when the car has over 200,000 miles on it.

Toyota are known for the paint failing into different colors on different materials especially their plastic

You are correct. My Blue Camry when I bought it at a used cars Dealership full cash, the paint was in rough condition on the Rear Right passenger side. You could see the metal, it was starting to rust I had to repaint the whole car. There was dings on the doors too and small dents. It looks a lot better but the person who painted my car, left spec dust in the paint and orange peels in certain areas. It needs to be wet sanded and buff.

Being a several time Scion owner, I will opine that $2450 is probably a good retail value for that car as is. If you run it back through the auction, you'll lose money. I still like the idea of fixing it up as a Christmas giveaway! 👍

I had a Scion XB.2011 that was recently totaled in a car accident. It was a very safe car an I had 335000 miles I’m it and still ran great with low maintenance. You just had to do major maintenance at. 150,000 and 300,000 which usually cost 1200 dollars. It was a reliable car and I could have driven it for another 100,000 plus miles. My insurance valve the car at 6500 dollars.

Believe it or not that particular model yr had paint issues that the parts were painted in different factories and then assembled and after they were sold the color differences became noticeable. They had a recall that was so restrictive that few ppl got them repainted. A old friend had one and she got hers repainted!

That Sciota seems great, might be handy to keep around for kinda not too big hauls?

Good car. Mechanically sound. Just needs minor cosmetic touches.

Biggest issue with xB is road noise. I find it very fun to drive and cheap to own.

This is a great Toyota product! I have a 2006 Scion Xb with 130,000 mile and the only thing I have ever had to replace is battery and alternator. If it was made in Japan like mine it will run forever. Great Deal! FYI…. The hatchback handle is made of plastic and I have had to replace mine 3 times due to failure and the way mine front end is sloped I have had to replace my windshield twice due to rock chips but Toyota paid for the first replacement(recall).

I think it looks like a car from a guy that used to sell pot

There is a reason used Toyotas cost more than the American competition. At 125k miles the only issue I have had with my Camry is the battery failed at 8 years old and a marker light burned out. Meanwhile my friend’s Ford Focus is on it’s third transition with 80k miles.

Love Toyota products I own a Scion Xa, and a Lexus LS400, so I would love to see ur Scion stick around a bit

Two shades of colour, but still a fine runner. 😎👍🇨🇦

Definetily doors have been repainted, it can already be seen from afar by doors different paint texture alone. Passenger doors are slightly matt, and rear quarter is much more glossy.

I have a manual 15. Best car I have ever owned. Its got a lot going on, $2400 is okay, and a bad title(?). If its a Keeper, its worth it. Watch the oil. Sometimes they burn it. Mine does not at all. You can replace the trans filter, not really necessary. Just oil replacement. These can hit 350k or more with reasonable care. Taxis all over my town. Ill keep mine forever. Mine had some chips on front fender and had I had it painted (I should have just touched it up) and is a bit off. I don’t care that much. Put a stock wheel on it, replace the windshield, and enjoy it. They are great cars!

The paint is different because it is probably a tri coat paint. Meaning it has a mid coat the has like pearl colors on it. It probably has been repainted which is why the paint wouldn’t match

scions have weird paint jobs if you look at photos of them, weird color combos and effects. I would keep it as you run to co-parts rig and the gravel road to your new house the scion can take the beating and still be worth what you paid if you sell it later.

With junkyard transmission. You can tell from the marking on the transmission housing 3:40

Randy, look at the doors, fenders and hood for VIN tags. If they are there see if they match. It's possible Scion does not put VIN tags in each removable panel but in my 2005 Tundra every panel has a VIN tag.

The Scion may be a victim of insurance repair rejection with the shoddy mismatched panels.

My 2011 Toyota Corolla has 163,000 miles and runs like a top. I’ve owned it for two years and I put 20,000 miles on it. Toyotas have a bulletproof reputation for reliability.

I think what may have happen is possibly the hail damage was real bad so they found doors and bumpers that looked like they match but of course when you have a closer look it stands out

Absolute steal! Comfortable, good MPG, will last forever.

i bet if you put hub caps on the saturn it will go for at least 150 bucks more

Scions are our Toyota rukus here in Australia until they stopped them it should be a 2.4l petrol which is the Camry 4cyl engine another great car and video 😉

I got both of my Toyotas at my local auction. 2004 corolla le bought at 138k now at 162k 3 years later. A few months ago got a 2003 Camry xle 177k now but just got it at 172k no major issues with either. Easy maintenance

I have a 2009 Scion XB with 76000 miles on it . Other than normal maintenance it’s been a fantastic car

The seats has a 90's to early 2000's pattern I like that, those are nice seats.

Hey Randy if you look at the passenger rear door in the passenger front door or dull have a do look to him the right rear quarter has a shin to it look and you can see it

I think 2450 for a Toyota is good value for one that runs perfect and the boot door won't open for 30 seconds arfter a dead battery

Would love to see the scion again

This car can be a good A to B for lot of families. It will be interesting to see another video of it!

I have this car ! Mines is a 2012 Scion xB and it’s white. I love my little hot box 📦😂😂 it’s really a good car especially on road trips for over 9 hours. Really good car

Why worry about the color? The paint is solid, the metal is covered except for slight alignment of the hood and a dented fender and broken windshield. It's a driver, not a show car or resto-mod.

Yeah. I would say to put it up on the rack to really check it out. I have been watching these for a while now and think they are great little cars, Did you notice how quiet it was on the trip home? Not to many smaller cars are that solid after 200,000 miles. I wish I could find a deal like that.

Looking good Mr Randy love your channel 😀

On the topic of what Dodge's get like when they get about 100k miles. My uncle has a 2012 Ram 3500. Thing has been a nightmare ever since it hit 100k. 3 Engine replacements and the same issue has come back every time on every one of the engines.

My guess would be they passed it on to their kid and they sideswiped something, then rear ended someone and they got it all fixed at the same time, who knows

Put a led light up to it, also things might've been replaced because of hail damage. I'd try doing some paint correction to see if you can get everything to match a bit better.

Hi Randy, The wife has a 2015 xB and we could not be happier with it :) it's a little tinny when you close a door but for the money, you did good, keep it if you can and drive it, you will like it :)

I bet it was hail damaged before and someone put a gallon on bondo and some paint over it. That could be why the paint looks weird.

So glad you got it such a great car

Family ranch had a 2016 ram 2500 cummins for 4 years. Beautiful and capable truck. Only complaint was if you follow the "severe" maintenance schedule for towing it will really nickel and dime you to death. Better to maintain them yourself, the dealer will try to bankrupt you. $150 (synthetic blend)oil change, $200 fuel filters, air filter at $70 and differential services every 30k? Not to mention all the EGR/DEF headaches. A little much for a machine made for towing. I cannot fault all these guys deleting them. I just wish they would keep the factory exhaust muffler lol. Here in texas every deleted 3/4 ton truck sounds like an 80's freightliner...

Nice catch Randy, keep fishing good cars.

Nice Lil Smoke Box Lol. Same Engine In Corolla And Matrix Not Bad Replace Front Window Will Make Someone Happy . Sweet Deal Randy Easy Flip With A Paint Job Maaco

It would make a good family hauler for a couple with two kids.

The disparity with colours is likely due to the same colour but off of different cars, one parked in all weathers and UV bleached, the other parts from a car that has been in a garage for the most time and this causes a difference in patina. T cutting etc or rubbing compound will do little to bring it to the same colour and the only real fix is to apply the tinted clear lacquer over in one go but if you give it a good deep polish, the difference will be less noticeable, sometimes when a car company changes the base primers say from a white/grey to a black you get a similar disparity between the same colours as the primer makes a huge difference as it is in effect the "canvas" for paint to be applied to.

Plenty of room ,economical, put a killer sound system in it and have fun.

I drove a Toyota for almost 200,000 miles before requiring any brake work. I don't think Toyota makes anything as cool as a Shelby gt 500 hellcat or Z06 Vette, but they are really reliable. Non turbo Toyota 4 cylinder engines are workhorses that can easily get 300 or 400 thousand miles if maintained properly.

Excellent 👌 deal

Love this car Randy

looks like the right fender and front door and back door and the hood was resprayed or came from a donor car because the edge of the door is the same color

Scion is not my cup of tea, but if it floats your boat, go for it. By the time you finish you may be into for $3,000-$3,200, wheels, windshield, fluid service, cleaning. Could make a good commuter/grocery beater. Lexus has a 471 hp coupe RC-F or LC to replace the Hellcat or a pre-owned GS. These are Toyota’s, reliable and luxurious.

My guess is doors and bumpers hood trunk were repainted and the quarter panel and roof were left factory

Moving over to Toyota?? I just fainted LOL

Check the door Strikers see if they have been moved... Did you know, in some places, you can technically drive with no windshield as long as your wearing a helmet with a face shield.
