We just picked up what my wife and I feel was the diamond in the rough. We were looking to replace our main commuter car ( gen 1 Scion xB ) . We wanted a low mileage ( since it will get 400 miles a week )couple year old car. This way we can rack miles and not kill value. Wanted an other scion be found this 04 JCW .. Not a lot for options, but has leather and stage 1 JCW kit.

Oh yea.. The sweet part.. The diamond in the rough thing.. It has 11,500 mi

 

Wow. Good luck with it. Can't wait to see when the mod bug bites you on this one.

 

Yea....that hit 10 years ago with the first one. It will be nice to mod one again, since I have left our GP unmolested. Wife is still doing stuff to her 06 JCW..and the classic is still all original.

 

Let me know when you start turning the wrenches!!! I'd be more than happy to lend a hand.

 

That is a beauty - I too found the diamond in the rough - I thought mine was a low mileage one with 40K on it - Nevertheless it's wonderful finding an 9 year old car taken care of as I/we would take care of one.

Enjoy its a beaut

Well then check this 2004 with 3800miles

Yikes another one - I still stole mine when I think what I paid for mine though its got
more than 3800 miles on it - it's amazing the price they're asking for this car.

 

Wow. That is a outstanding find. I had found there are quite a few under 40k miles 04's out there... I still anticipate having to do work on ours. The common issues the R53's had.

 

You do make a good point - while mine has more miles the previous owner
has replaced all the "known" issues, some under warranty and some not - however, not all have the issues - some drive them a 100k without incident - my tech said to me "it depends on what day of the week it was built, I guess"

In the meantime, drive them and enjoy owning them - I do get a smile
every time I start the thing up
