108 Scion tC coupes for sale across 73+ Copart locations – model years 2005–2016, avg. mileage 157,000 mi. 17% clean title, 82% salvage; Front End is the top damage (48%). Bids start at $200, and recent Toyotas overall sold for a median winning bid around $4,200 before fees.
Not many tCs pass through this pool, so there isn't enough sold history on the model itself to post a reliable number. Across the make, a recent Toyota cleared a winning bid near $4,200 before fees, most between $2,100 and $8,100 – though a cheap-to-fix compact coupe like this one usually settles toward the lower end. Front End leads the damage board at 48%. What sells stays mostly in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
Scion was Toyota's discontinued youth-marketing brand, and the tC was its sport coupe from 2005 through 2016 before Toyota folded the whole lineup back into its main brand. Early cars, through 2010, run the 2.4-liter 2AZ-FE four, an engine that developed a reputation across several Toyota and Lexus models for burning oil past worn piston rings – ask for maintenance records and check the dipstick trend on any pre-2011 tC before you bid. The 2011-and-later cars switched to the revised 2.5-liter 2AR-FE, which mostly cleared up that issue. Every tC is front-wheel drive with a big dual-pane glass moonroof running most of the roof's length, a signature feature that's also a common damage point – confirm both panels are intact and the roof rails aren't bent, since replacement glass for that setup isn't cheap or easy to find secondhand. It's a lightweight hatchback body, so a rear hit reaching the liftgate hinges or the roof structure around the moonroof is the one to walk away from. A shell too rough for the road still sells for the drivetrain and interior as a non-repairable tC lot.
Buying is quick: register free – no dealer license – set a maximum bid and the system bids up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
Note: ACV and damage data come from the original auction listing. Always check the condition and title yourself before you bid.
FAQ
What condition are these tCs in?
About 108 lots, 82% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End leads at 48%, mileage runs about 157,000 on average, and most are the standard tC coupe or hatchback body.
Is a salvage tC worth buying?
Usually yes given how cheap the running gear is to source. There's no reliable tC median here; a recent Toyota overall sold for around $4,200 before fees, and this coupe tends to price under that make-wide figure. A cracked panoramic moonroof or a liftgate-area hit is where the value drops fast.
What should I check before bidding?
Both moonroof glass panels and the roof rails first, since that feature is expensive to replace. On any pre-2011 car, ask about oil consumption history tied to the 2AZ-FE. Cross-check the title brand against the photos.
Can I insure and register a salvage tC?
Not while it's salvage-titled. You register and insure it only after it's rebuilt and passes a state inspection; once re-titled rebuilt, most insurers will write it, just not the company that totaled it. Check with your insurer before you bid.
How does the auction work?
Register free, no dealer license. Set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
How do I check a tC's history before bidding?
Every lot lists the VIN, damage type and title brand. Run the VIN through a vehicle-history report for prior accidents, mileage and title events before you commit.
What are good alternatives to the tC?
The Hyundai Veloster and Honda Civic cover similar sport-compact ground. If you'd rather have rear-wheel drive, Toyota's own 86 is the closer modern equivalent in spirit.
