The 2008 Scion xD for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2008 Scion xD for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page helps you judge the 2008 Scion xD before you buy one anywhere.
What to check on the xD
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Specs, explained
The 1.8L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated at 8.1 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 24 litres. For 1,000 km, budget about $125.60 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel 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 a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Size and space
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. For luggage, 311 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Rent the xD for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Picking a year and a 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 you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.56 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $125.60 at our price setting.
