Default Reward for Finding my Scion Xa

Hello Everyone.

Let me start by introducing myself.

My name is Andrew Coulombe, i live in Jeffersonville PA and am a Mechanical Designer.

In January of 2005 i bought my scion.


Not long after i installed many aftermarket parts with my father such as eibach springs, dc sports header, cold air intake, Blitz Supercharger neon interior lights, short throw shifter, double din dvd player, ps2, gamecube, and countless other mods. This was right around the time i "finished" modding my car.



In April of 2007 i made the biggest mistake of my car life, and traded it away. I got a 2003 350z



I was so happy at first, but then i traded it away for a gti, then another trade, then a sale. Eventually here i am 18 cars later. I have two cars currently. An 04 Infiniti G35, and my daily driver a 1988 Ford Festiva lol.

I love all my cars but i loved the Scion xa the most. It took me 5 years, and many cars and money later to realize that.

I want to find my car again. It was last seen in Allentown PA, i spoke with the current owner at that time, but it has been over a year and a half since i last spoke with him. He has disconnected his phone, and since moved away. I will reward someone well if they can track my car down. I have the vin number if anyone needs, and i know it last had Eagles football stickers in the windows, and some body dents.

I have the cash to buy it back, almost whatever the new owner wants. I just want the car i spent 2 years building back in my possession.

Hopefully someone can help me out.

Andrew: 908-763-7467

Thanks

Thats good to know. It just means he moved somewhere. Thing that sucks is i know my number was on his fridge, but now if he moved, who knows where its at. Thanks very much for the help.

If you go to your local DMV, they may very well be able to help you out so long as you provide the VIN #. Just an idea, as I think that does work here in CA.

PS: I like that first pic. of your xA the best. Being a mechanical designer, what do you think the xA's best trait is ?

Ive been to the notary's around me. They say they cant give out the information. But if i write to the state they will take it under consideration. Then Deny it, because its revealing to much personal information lol.

Got good news from my mom tho. Apparently the person is still in that general area, he just moved. My mother saw the car 4 days ago just driving down the main highway. Good sign.

As a designer i think the best trait is the tiny overbuilt motor. I never had a single problem with mine, even with the boost i threw at it. I was doing 10-12 psi daily, without changing the injectors, only doing a tiny piggyback unit from blitz.

As far as reliability goes, ive never had one that could best it.

Also. Every time i moved i never requested a new title with the updated address. you can just show them the change of address card when you sell it.

I tried calling to check the badge # but no one picked up. Maybe they were busy. I'll keep looking!

Just called them, not mine. Mine still has my graphics on the side, which of course could be taken off, and mine had the limited edition rims. Also could be taken off. But things i wouldnt imagine people removing supercharger, intake, header, exhaust, stuff like that. ALso my tail lights i left them red. i like how they blended with everything else.

Very much thank you tho. And i just spoke to the dealer about that specific one and its deffinately not mine.

Thanks again tho. Apparently mine has been spotted anywhere from Phillipsburg NJ to Allentown PA, usally spotted on RT22.

All i need to do is track it down again lol. Almost positive he will let me buy it back now. Or just in case give him a new phone number and business card so he can reach me.

Its not an addiction. Its a Scion
