The 2015 Scion tC for buyers
No 2015 Scion tC is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before buying the 2015 Scion tC, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the tC
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 22 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, air bags and visibility/wiper; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The figures, translated
The 2.5L 4-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Combined fuel use is 9.1 L/100 km: about 27 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $141.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Space and size
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. For luggage, 425 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
Rent the tC first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the tC answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Choosing the right one
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $141.10 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
