Auto loans: the 2016 Scion tC
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Scion tC for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page puts the 2016 Scion tC in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 6 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, seat belts and service brakes; have those parts checked.
Under the hood
Its 2.5L 4-cylinder drives through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The EPA rates it at 9.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 27 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $14.11. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
The tC in everyday use
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 425 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who the tC suits
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the tC on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the tC for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $141.10 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
