I’ve always been a big fan of the Scion brand, but I never got my hands on one. I’m really interested in looking for a tC, but I’m not sure how hard it will be. How many Scion tC were ever made?
is one of the rarer Scion models with a unique paint color for every model year and no more than 3,500 units produced in a single model year.
In total, Toyota produced 23,900 Scion tC from 2005 to 2016 before ending production with the disbanding of the Scion brand. That’s less than 2,000 cars per year, on average. The numbers per year vary, but that means that certain colors are much rarer than others.
Here are the Scion tC’s colors and units produced by model year:
2005: Absolutely Red; 2,500 units
2006: Blue Blitz Mica; 2,600 units
2007: Blizzard Pearl; 2,500 units
2008: Galactic Gray Mica, 2,300 units
2009: Gloss Black; 2,000 units
2010: Speedway Blue; 1,100 units
2011: No units produced
2012: High Voltage Yellow; 2,200 units
2013: Absolutely Red; 2,000 units
2014: Silver Ignition; 3,500 units
2015: Two Tone Magma Orange and Gloss Black; 2,000 units
2016: Barcelona Red; 1,200 units
Now the color of your Scion won’t affect your [car insurance] rates but deciding to
might. Not to mention, this coupe held a popular reputation with younger drivers with the average buyer age being 29. The higher risk associated with the Scion tC can leave you paying for it in your monthly premium, so just be sure to compare a few quotes before committing to a policy.
