Default What type of Xa is this?

I just got this and know nothing about scions. I was just out to buy a car for commuting and the price was right. A 72 year old man owned it first and I didn't even open the hood till I brought it home. It has these parts under the hood and a TRD stamped exhaust. I just cant believe this old man put performance parts on himself.

Its a 2005 w/ 20k miles.

I paid $11,400 for it and it looks brand new. Sound about right?

There's no kenstyle kit on his car...it's a PGP xA, no RS.

But yes, drop that thing a bit, it'll look that much better.

Alright, I'm having to google the acronyms. PGP = Phantom Grey Pearl or Pretty Good Privacy. I'm guessing the first.

Awesome, Same as mine, expect with out the rims. That's the looking im going for. Are those Enkei rims? What size? So sexy. That car is sooo close to what my friend did for me in photoshop.




Yeah, drop it, dude. Coilovers or Tananbe. or go to Toyota and get TRD Suspension.

They are Enkei rims, don't know what size. I purchased a set of new scion floor mats (it had none) and thats probably all the money I'm going to put into it. I have 2 other vehicles that get the mod money. Mainly this one.

Welcome to the PG family... I have an '05 PGP as well......but, for the love of all that is good, I suggest either dropping it or not parking it next to your big truck.....they are the same height...


You got a great deal on a great car.. it will last you a good long time.

Are the PG's more rare or something from just '05?

black cherry pearl is my favorite color of them all. Too bad they don't make the xb2 in BCP....

Uh, you sure, Johnny? I would think something like the Salsa, which was only made for half a year (replaced BCP), would be on that "rare" list...

i would agree with Tomas... the salsa red would be the most rare that i haven't seen too much of around.

sounds like you got a really, really good deal. take care of the car and enjoy!
