The Scions we buy
If it’s a Scion and it starts and drives, we want to look at it. These are the Scion models we buy most — start from your model’s page for its known problems and what to expect, or send the form for any Scion on the list:
Scion owners tend to keep their vehicles a long time, so high mileage doesn’t scare us. A Scion that’s been used hard still has real value as long as it starts, drives, and has a working key — tell us about it honestly and we’ll price it for what it is. We buy Scions across Fresno, Clovis, Madera, and Sanger, pay cash at pickup, and tow free inside the service area.
Scion problems we still buy
Every Scion develops its known issues with age, and Scion owners hear the same line from private buyers: fix it first, then we’ll talk. We price the problem in instead. These are the ones we see most across the Scion lineup:
- Valve spring recall on 2013 cars
- Throw-out bearing chirp and failure
- Fuel pump chirp and coil pack faults
- Cam plate and engine oil leaks
- Oil consumption on the 2.4L engine
- Hatch and sunroof rattles and leaks
- Wheel bearings and suspension wear
- Clutch wear and manual gearbox faults
Problems like these change the price, not the answer — as long as the Scion starts, drives, and has a working key, we want to make an offer.
Two of those deserve a closer look, because they come up again and again when Scion owners call us:Valve spring recall on 2013 cars. Early FR-S engines were recalled for valve springs that could fracture and cause engine damage, and some repaired engines later suffered failures linked to the repair procedure. Documentation of who did the recall work matters, and uncertainty about it is a common reason owners sell.
Throw-out bearing chirp and failure. Manual FR-S cars are well documented for clutch release (throw-out) bearing chirping that progresses to bearing failure if ignored, sometimes damaging the transmission snout. The repair requires dropping the gearbox, and that labor bill is frequently the moment an owner decides to sell.
How selling your Scion works here
Step 1
Tell us about your Scion
One short form — year, model, mileage, and 12 quick condition questions. Honest answers are what let us hold the offer.
Step 2
Get one clear offer
We check the real market for your exact Scion and send one offer — no instant lowball from a computer. If the vehicle matches its description, the offer is guaranteed for 7 days.
Step 3
We pick it up, you get paid
Free pickup in the Fresno–Clovis area, often as soon as the next day when scheduling allows. You sign, get paid at pickup, and hand over the keys — we handle the smog and DMV paperwork after the purchase.
One honest limit: the car does need to start and drive, and have a working key. Fixable problems are our specialty; a car that can’t move under its own power isn’t a fit.
Scion seller questions
Which Scions do you buy?
All of them, any age — FR-S, tC, xA, and xB, and the rest of the lineup — as long as the vehicle starts, drives, and has a working key. Japanese vehicles of any age are a standing want here.
My Scion has a mechanical problem. Will you still buy it?
Usually, yes. The Scion problems we price in most often are valve spring recall on 2013 cars, throw-out bearing chirp and failure, and fuel pump chirp and coil pack faults — along with failed smog checks, check-engine lights, and expired registration. What we can’t buy: no working key, a blown engine, a Scion that won’t start or drive, or major structural damage.
Can I sell a Scion without a title in my name?
In many cases, yes. Lost titles, titles still in a previous owner’s name, and lien-sale paperwork are all situations on our intake — disclose yours in the application and we’ll explain the correct next step before scheduling pickup.
When do I get paid for my Scion?
At pickup. We can often pick up as soon as tomorrow in the Fresno–Clovis area when scheduling allows — our buyer verifies the vehicle matches its description, you sign, get paid, and hand over the keys. The tow is free inside the service area.
