Just bought a 2005 Scion xa (plum)

I just bought a plum 2005 scion xa. 68k miles. I think we got a great deal.... only $6500. It has one rock chip on the hood that I need to touch up (with a tiny dent that I think I can pop out), but other than that it is in excellent condition.

MY wife is very happy!

after reading all of your comments I went and had the car painted in black cherry pearl. Now it looks much better!

I never knew the name of the color. We bought a digital camera a year ago and the box said the color is "plum" and it looks very close to the color of the scion. That is why I called it plum, but now I will get it right!

I actually found a spray paint for my engine cover and it was labled "Dark Plum Pearl" and is for all purposes the same color as BCP...found at O'Reilly's autoparts

Again, welcome to the forum and ScionLife

I still like the "Blood Mica" JDM name=same color code
