Thanks for welcome. In Germany the Toyota BB is also not available. If you like to have some of these Rides (XB or BB), you have to import it. I bought mine since 3 Years from a privat Person.

Thanks for the Offer, MadMike550, but I would rather change the Interior with someone here in Germany. Don`t take it personally.

Here are some Pictures of the Seats:





I don`t think, that these are the original Scion Leather Seats.
They got no heated Seats.
I´m Nonsmoker.

There was no original Scion leather seats. Dealers send them off to aftermarket shops and have the leather kit installed. There are several companies that make the kits. you may check under the leather, some guys install the leather kit over the factory cloth. you may have what you want underneith! Then, i'll buy the leather from you and pay to ship it to me!

Would I love to have those seats!!! Thanks for the pictures.

And what i find interesting is, here is a German guy who imports a basically American version car into his country, and the richest man in America, Bill Gates, could not even import a German car into the US.

@bbszero

I`d checkt it, but only under the Headrests, there is the original factory cloth with white color stains???. I think sometimes in the past, there was a white paint bucket, which is exploded ore something like that in the Interior, and destroyed the hole factory cloth. Overall in the interior I see little white color stains.

I was told by my local DMV that german car's are the hardest to import because the emissions are really hard to pass in the states.Also standards are diffrent bumpers,etc need to be dot approved.

Now days most are world cars and differ only a little bit. More has to do with lawyers, and ambulance chasers and some of our crazy rules at DMV.

As for Bill Gates, he finally did get his 959 into the US but it took like 15 years of sitting in a warehouse. And it can only be driven to car shows.

Now where can I get me a Opel Ampera and some of those leather seats?
