Default well we are thinking of leaving the scion family

and selling both of our scions. .. the reason is for to get a 7 passenger vehicle for the misses and I need a truck for work..

do you guys think it would be easier to sell them with all the stuff, or return them back to stock?

my experience (sold toyota matrix, 2 ford f-150, honda civic all in the process of 1 yr) if you are selling them to carmax, some used car dealership or sumthing similar they want them stock you will lose value with aftemarket stuff in it (depending on what it is) so if you go this route make them stock and sell the aftermarket stuff on here.

If you private party them depending on the buyer you could include the stuff in your advertisment but depends.

Hope this helps

I've never had the best of luck trading in cars.. I own one of the outright, so they'd really try and stick me on the trade in. I might just try and sell them first.. if I get private party for them from a seller, and throw in all the aftermarket stuff, it would be more worth it to me,.. I think.
maybe? i dunno..
I'm thinking 17900 for the tc, and 12400 for the xB.. which is kbb. is that the going rate for Scions in our area?

Well its sad to hear your leaving....... But if it has to be done then so be it....
My suggestion it to part out the acessories that are not normal for a scion cause you will never see half the money in return upon trade in.....

Good Luck with everything

sounds reasonable but if you want I would be willing to trade you your black wrapped headliner for my stock headliner to make your ride more stock

I also would be willing to trade you all my stock pieces for your black dyed pieces.
