Car lifespans / Scion
How long do Scion cars last?
Scion models average about 225,000 miles in Carpool's catalog. The xB leads at an estimated 250,000 miles, and the iQ is lowest at 200,000.
These are Carpool's editorial estimates of the miles a well-maintained car typically reaches before major repairs make it uneconomical to keep, informed by long-term reliability and high-mileage studies. They aren't measured data or a guarantee, and individual model years can differ. How Carpool uses them.

|---|---|---|---|
| xB | 250,000 | 2004–2015 | 25 |
| iM | 230,000 | 2016 | 31 |
| tC | 230,000 | 2005–2016 | 25 |
| xA | 230,000 | 2004–2006 | 30 |
| xD | 230,000 | 2008–2014 | 29 |
| iA | 220,000 | 2016 | 35 |

What the difference is worth
Take two used Scions, each priced at $8,000 with 100,000 miles on the odometer. By these estimates, the xB has 150,000 miles left, or $0.053 per mile. The iQ has 100,000 left, or $0.080 per mile. Same price, same mileage, very different value.
See what a car really costs
Divide a car's price by the miles it has left and you get its cost per remaining mile. The free Carpool extension does this on every car you view on Facebook Marketplace, or you can score one by hand with the calculator.
