I had never really thought much about Scions (I'm more of a 4x4 truck guy) 'till a few weeks ago, That's when this sexy little thing caught my wife's eye. It took 3 salesmenm, the sales manager, AutoCheck and CarFax before I would believe them but once convinced what I was looking at was correct and true, how could I walk away........
2005 Scion xA Release 1.0
Absolute MINT condition.
841 miles on the ticker when we drove it off the lot Feb. 26th 2011. Currently she registers 1511 miles.
Take a peek 6 years into the past..........

 

what number R.S?

 

#393

 

How did that happen? They forget the car in inventory?

 

wow thats insane.

but doesnt this RS come with a badgeless grille usually?

 

I thought they did aswell now that you mention it.

 

This thread blows my mind; how crazy is that?

 

damm, the miles must be right, theres not a spec of dirt underneath, lol

but im dying to know how that happened!

 

local dealer to me has a mint 1994 rx7! never sold it now its like their mascot its parked in the show room its minty clean!!! i want it bad
not for sale.
oh well as for this lady bug dono how they never sold it.

 

well are you going to tell us what u got it for or what lol. im sure it wasnt sticker and if it was u crazy

 

cars are ment to be driven not stored in a barn rotting away

 

I've been pondering the same question since seeing a few different pic's of RS's. I actually wrote Scion the other day and I'm waiting on a response. I'll post as soon as I get the answer.

 

It had to be in a climate controled building the whole time. All the tires, wiper blades, interior panels and such show no signs of dry rot, heat/sun damage or neglect. Everything under the hood is original and also tippy top condition so it had to be driven, although not far, on a fairly regular schedule. The prior registrations were kept current and were all in Lakeside Az.

 

yeah i would definatly fight for that grille, grille alone goes for over 500$, if its anything like the RS Tc's its anywhere between 900-2000$

how much was the car?? did they charge you a brand new price, even though its an 05?? its a confusing situation lol

 

for reference

 

Believe it or not, I paid KBB.

 

It must've been a show model or something.

 

Yeah, but if you wanted to (this summer), you could sell it and definitly make some $$ off what you paid for it (not that you would actually do that). !!

Nice score BTW! If you decide to keep it long term, please post updated pictures of any changes/modifications you do make.

 

Thanks. I think we may hang on to it and find something else for the wife as a daily driver. Not many chances like this come by in a lifetime if you know what I mean. I could see it rolling thru Barrett Jackson in 2025 with oh, say 5k miles ?
We may do a few things like tires n wheels but I'll definitly keep the mods limited and keep the original pieces. I almost feel like we've been entrusted with a piece of history.......lol

 

That xA is a beauty AND a collector's item.
