Scion For Sale: July 2009

I am selling a 2005 Scion XA made by Toyota. I personally ordered this car from Japan in late 2004 and have been the sole owner of this vehicle. I am a non-smoker and do not have any children. I used this car mainly to commute to work (a 55 mile trip each way) for 3 years and to drive from IL to GA several times. Most of the miles are highway miles. The car is in excellent condition with normal wear and tear. There have been NO major problems with this car. I have replaced the brakes, tires, battery and windshield wipers. Other than that, this car has been maintained with suggested manufacturers routine maintenance and regular oil changes. The only reason I am looking to replace this car is because we have a growing family and will be needing more room. While this is a 4-door vehicle, it is very compact and gets 35 miles per gallon around town and a little better on the highway. I will provide some information about the car below and list several pictures. If you have any questions, please email me at Jules0203@yahoo.com or call 708-946-1300 and ask for Julie.

This is the first Toyota vehicle I have ever owned and it has truly lived up to it's reputation. It has never let me down and I have never run into an unexpected problem. I have had all service performed at either ther Toyota dealer or at MasterTech in Lynwood, IL. Because most miles were highway miles I usually got the synthetic oil changes for highway miles. I have had the car detailed at Toyota and at Auto Butler in Highland, IN. I have a complete CarFax report on this car that I can email you if you request it from me.

I am looking for $6,500.00 or best offer.
Kelly Blue book indicates this car is worth $7,100.00 in a private party sale and would be expected to sell for $9,650.00 on a dealer's lot.
I will be accepting cash offers only.
This would be a great car for someone living in the city (easy to park and get in and out places), or for a college student or anyone else wanting to minimize their fuel expense. I would recommend this car for someone with young children who don't need a lot of legroom in back but I personally feel it would be difficult for someone with an infant that needs to carry around a stroller and other baby equipment. This is a very reliable car.
