I’m changing jobs, which will require me to commute, (old job didn’t). So I’m looking for a cheap commuter car.
2010 Scion xD 167,000 miles
I test drove it. Here’s what I found.
Positives: 1 owner car. Carfax shows oil changes done roughly every 7-8k miles.
Dealer services (pro or con?)
No major issues: cv axles good. No oil leaks.
A/C blows very good.
Suspension tight. Not bouncy.
Cons:
Steering wheel pulse when braking.
Wheel bearing roaring at speed.
Rear taillight has damage. Looks like a low impact crash. BUT the car is a clean title. Looks very low impact fender bender.
So the drivetrain checks out. Shifts perfectly. A few mechanical issues. No engine mount issues. Smooth as butter.
Out the door price: $3100. What do you guys say? Any issues I should know about on the xD?
Seems like a good deal to me. I plan to fix the issues myself diy.
