The 2008 Scion xD: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2008 Scion xD for sale by us right now. Buying the 2008 Scion xD is a big decision; here is the information we have.
A buyer's checks
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 67 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, suspension and vehicle speed control.
What the figures tell you
The 1.8L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 8.1 L/100 km, which means roughly 24 litres for 300 km. Expect about $12.56 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
What to expect from the xD
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. For luggage, 311 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the xD for a week and see how it fits your life. A week with the xD answers more than any brochure. A test week in the xD tells you more than any review.
Year and trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.56 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $125.60 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Over to you
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2008 Scion xD from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2008 Scion xD for you and reply within one business day.

Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Does the 2008 Scion xD have recalls?
NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
What does the 2008 Scion xD cost in fuel a year?
EPA puts it at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at its fuel prices; at our price setting, 20,000 km cost about $2512.00.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
