I just bought a plum 2005 scion xa. 68k miles. I think we got a great deal.... only $6500. It has one rock chip on the hood that I need to touch up (with a tiny dent that I think I can pop out), but other than that it is in excellent condition.

MY wife is very happy!

 

Welcome to the Scion Family!

Where are you from?

 

the color is called black cherry pearl

 

I live in Tallahassee, FL

 

Same color as my `04 xA..welcome look around and make new friends!
BTW black cherry pearl color name is different for JDM - they call it Blood Mica.

 

"plum"

 

I also have a 05 BCP xA welcome to the family =)

Mine has i think 45k on it.

 

paint code is 3P2

 

YEAH SERIOUSLY. I have the same color and plum....I might have to sell my ride now. It BLACK CHERRY PEARL!

 

after reading all of your comments I went and had the car painted in black cherry pearl. Now it looks much better!


I never knew the name of the color. We bought a digital camera a year ago and the box said the color is "plum" and it looks very close to the color of the scion. That is why I called it plum, but now I will get it right!

 

I actually found a spray paint for my engine cover and it was labled "Dark Plum Pearl" and is for all purposes the same color as BCP...found at O'Reilly's autoparts

Again, welcome to the forum and ScionLife

I still like the "Blood Mica" JDM name=same color code

 

welcome.

Isn't that a harder to find color for the xA ?

 

yes it is for the standard factory color that is

 

We got one to 06 BCP, 34K miles... I've had an 04 xB and the wife had an 06 tC..we just missed the Scion family...

 

When I ordered my `04 they had to swap inventory w/dealer out in Beaumont, they said the Black Cherry Pearl w/5speed were very rare!? Don't know how many were produced in `04.... Still a great color....love mine at 95530mi on odo

 

wow, only $6500. seems like a pretty good deal. Glad you're happy with it, enjoy it.

 

Glad to have you here!! You got a PM.
