FS: 2008 Scion XD - Denver

For your consideration, a reliable corolla/yaris/matrix/vibe based transport appliance. 

5-speed manual transmission. 

- Pros:

DC Sports beauty.. err... strut brace. 

HPC short ram intake (have original)

High Output Alternator 

Recent (cheap) balljoints

Extra set of Vibe alloy wheels (no tpms)

No major accidents

Original one owner car

Clean Colorado title

Should pass emissions no problem

Great mileage, decent power. 

Recent wheel bearings (both drivers side)

Recent Calipers, rotors, pads, shoes, cylnders, bosch dot 5.1 fluid flush.

Just replaced all injector seals with toyota parts

Just replaced front fender liner

Spare parts (new cv axle, etc)

3 new wheel bearings (2 timken fronts, 1 spare rear.) 

Optional 3rd pedal option. 

Cold A/C

- Cons:

Oxidized paint, peeling clearcoat on roof, looks ok when waxed and from 20ft. 

Light sideswipe damage (right side, see pics)

Bumper tabs suck and hang off a cm or so where it meets fenders. Fine everywhere else.

New front wheel bearing had bad tone ring, disabling ABS. I have new bearings as mentioned above. 

Tires getting low. Both sets are legal, but have a season left at best. Summers are Indy Wide Ovals, winters are Blizzaks.

Headlights need repolishing soon. 

Cooling fan is intermittently noisy. 

3rd syncro grinds when really cold out. Fine after a double-clutch. Perfect shifts otherwise. 

Looking for 4500, but accept the real value might much much less. Go on, insult me. Just need the space and cash for my crv build.  

Should make any drive. Can drive and fly for you even. 

Ask any questions. No unknowns or secrets here. Belongs to roomies, but I have basically maintained it for last decade. 

Do you have any interior pics?

Mileage?

Condition of clutch? Every replaced?

You say the paint is oxidized on roof, or whole body? Hood looks oxidized. Please clarify.  Any closeup of sideswipe and bumper tabs?

Given denver car, undercarriage pics showing rust issues?

Yup, taking new pics in a couple hours. Interior is 7.8/10. Most wear is drivers carpet under pedals. Basic wear and tear. A tiny cig burn hole and ash stain on headliner from the one time I let a smoker borrow the car. 

Mileage?

162,000

*whoosh* idk how I forgot. 

Condition of clutch? Every replaced?

Clutch is OG to my knowledge. Seems fine, no slipping or shuddering, but could be an item to plan for.

Pretty much any top-facing area is rough for some reason. Hood, tops of doors, roof. Clearcoat fails and peels off. Paint underneath oxidises. Front end has lots of rock chips from mountain highway driving. I have just been knocking off loose flakes and hitting the area with aircraft style spray wax to slow the process.

Will take the least-flattering pics of sideswipe damage i can. Paint color hides it in pics. Both doors have scratches, and a couple wide but shallow dents.

Edit: you can see the dents in rear door along beltline, just under door handle height if you look closely. New pics still otw.

Given denver car, undercarriage pics showing rust issues?

This car was bought in Lousiana, lived in California for a while, and has been in Denver area under a decade. There is very little rust to speak of at all, I have only seen some surface rust. Tie-rods took a torch to get loose after LCA/balljoint replacement, so take that for what you will.

Just peeked under car and saw no gremlins, although the new calipers were apparently uncoated and have some surface patina starting already. (Edit: you can see this if you zoom into 1st pic) I may pull and paint em if I end up doing the bearings this weekend. 

Thanks for the specific questions. Really helps me see the car from outside perspective. Stay tuned for better pics later. 

undercarriage shots:

From front, lighted. Plastic undertray still present. 

From drivers side

From passenger (sexy miata not included)

Sideswipe dents:

Took 40 shots and all were poor. Here are the best at showing them..

From behind

From below

Front fender dent, might be from different event, idk. 

Close ups, different angles, etc upon request.  I attempt to be somewhat timely. 

Interior shots:

As used everyday. No vacuuming was done yet. Seats fold flat, lots of storage, actual spare tire, even if it is a spacesaver. 

Bonus shot with napping deer in yard for extra cuteness power. 

Had time today to pull out box of spares. Everything pictured but spare wheels. 

Left to right we have:

FelPro valve cover gasket (NIB)

Timken front wheel bearings (NIB)

GMB and Premium brand rear wheel bearings, both with studded hubs. (NIB)

GMB water pump (New, bought open box)

TYC Starter (NIB)

.

OEM thermostat, was replaced while chasing overheating issue a few years ago. Turned out to be radiator pinhole. (Used, presumed good)

Also found OEM airbox and all associated hardware, and a spare CV axle I bought on clearance. 

Really planned on keeping this thing forever, but ended up needing something bigger. 

Got car in the air today, and will check out the sensor issue and verify it is the magnetic encoder ring and not the sensor or associated wiring. I figure it is the encoder as the abs error only pops up after driving 200ft. No abs is really hurting my sellability. Updates tonight.

Edit: sensor seems to test okay, going to assume its the encoder and pull the wheel bearing.
