2006 Scion TC 2.4L 5SPD with Greddy exhaust, new K&N cold air intake, new tires and many new parts! I purchased this car with a salvage title and I have spent countless hours since October replacing many parts of this car. Below is a list of all parts I replaced and the prices. When the car arrived from the dealer on transport, it didn't start. I figured out that it was the starter so I replaced the starter. The battery was at the end of its life expentancy so I replaced that too. The tires are new Hankook Ventus HR2 size 215/45R17 which cost $325.00 to purchase and $100.00 to install. Overall, most parts replaced are new, some are used from Scions with low miles. The check engine light was on when I bought the car and based on the code I was getting, I thought it was the oil control valve so I installed a new one. However, I later discovered it was the VVT solenoid, which I also replaced. Currently, the only light illuminated is the SRS light because the front curtain airbags are missing (the steering wheel and dash airbags are in place). I recently had a Maryland State Inspection and this car has passed. I had to pay $426.00 to modify the exhaust so that it would pass inspection (the muffler extended beyond rear bumper too far by a few inches). I had to replace the 3rd brake light as well to pass inspection since some of the LED's were out. I have mixed feelings about selling and I have decided to sell if I can break even. I am selling since this car is 14 feet long and parking is a huge issue in Baltimore City. This car is very smooth and drives extremely well. The Greddy high flow muffler makes a strong howl when accelerating and heads turn. The K&N cold air intake I installed has added between 10-15 horsepower. The car lives around 90-100 mph and can go much faster. The new tires hug the road and the front end work I performed has paid off. Alignment was performed at Pepboys for $79.95 and includes a 1 year warranty (I will include the paperwork). Note that all prices listed are for the parts alone. If one were to pay a shop to do this work it would've cost a fortune. For example, the rebuilt transaxles cost $130.00 to purchase but would have cost nearly a $800.00-$1000.00 for a shop to install. Also note that not all items needed to be replaced. For example, I replaced the outer tie rods since I was planning on getting an alignment anyway. Also, I replaced the camshaft position sensor since the car wasn't starting as well as the fuel pump, which were both unecessary. Also, I replaced the rear tail lights because the previous owner had smoked tail lights which I felt were so ugly on this car. As far as the title, I was informed by the previous seller that it was involved in a home fire claim. However, there are no signs of fire damage so I suspect that may have been some insurance fraud going on. There is much more to tell about this car and all items replaced below have a story which will take too long to go into here. Questions are welcomed. My feedback score is 100% because I accurately describe items and stand by what I sell. I took the time to do all repairs correctly since I had been planning to keep this car forever. I still may decide to keep it if I don't sell it for a reasonable price. I understand that the title was a previous salvage so the Kelly blue book value of $6907.00 for a car of this mileage with a clear title in good condition. I would challenge you to find a used car that has been rebuilt to the extent this one has. This car corners like a dream and takes off with surprising power (accelerates faster than my 2000 Audi TT after the engine modifications with the intake and exhaust!) This car doesn't make friends on the road and for some odd reason BMWs seem to hate this car. One last caveat, these cars have timing chains so you don't need to worry about replacing the timing belt! Finally, some really critical points. First, the sunroof retracts without any issues and does not leak! Second, these cars were designed with built-in amplifiers. This car still has one and it puts out deep rich bass. The stock radio is a Pioneer and is pretty good for being a stock radio. Of note, after placing the K&N cold air intake, occasionally the mass air flow sensor code trips the check engine light. However, the engine runs perfect and once I reset the code with my scanner it stays out. However, it may come back on and this is a common problem once aftermarket intakes are installed. I reserve the right to end this auction early if it sells locally or if I decide to keep it. However, I will not end the auction if a bid has been placed. Thanks for looking.
