2012 Scion tC Release Series

Vehicle Description

For sale at Supreme Motors in Auburn, Washington, is an exceptionally well-maintained 2012 Scion tC 2-door coupe, a true gem for those who value reliability, design, and a full package of premium features at an unbeatable price. In addition, this tC boasts the coveted color combination of white on black, which holds its value way stronger in comparison to those in a silver on tan. This is a rare, one-owner Washington-owned vehicle, meticulously cared for since the day it was bought new. It comes with a clean Carfax, spotless service history, and zero accidents, which is almost unheard of for a 2012 model year. Cars with this kind of perfect history have become increasingly difficult to find, making this tC a standout option for long-term value retention. If you’re shopping for a premium compact coupe with an impeccable pedigree, look no further—this is the one.

Under the hood, you get Scion’s robust 2.5-liter inline-4 engine, delivering a solid 180 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque. Paired with either a precise 6-speed manual or a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission, the tC is built to handle both daily commutes and spirited drives with ease. It’s front-wheel-drive, giving it excellent control and stability in all weather conditions—perfect for the Pacific Northwest climate. The engine’s performance and fuel efficiency are balanced beautifully, with an EPA rating of 23 MPG city and 31 MPG highway. The tC’s drivetrain is engineered to be low-maintenance and long-lasting, thanks to Toyota’s commitment to quality engineering under the Scion brand.

Visually, the tC cuts a sleek and aggressive profile with sport-inspired lines, wide fenders, and a bold stance. It’s equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels that complement its athletic design and give it a commanding presence on the road. The panoramic glass roof is a major highlight of this coupe, offering an expansive view and enhancing the driving experience with abundant natural light. The roof also features a power sunshade, allowing you to easily control how much sunlight enters the cabin. The LED projector headlights provide crisp and clear visibility at night, while the integrated rear spoiler and dual chrome-tipped exhaust enhance both aesthetics and aerodynamics.

Inside, the cabin showcases Scion’s minimalist yet premium design philosophy. This tC is loaded with high-quality materials and practical features designed for comfort and convenience. The driver-oriented cockpit features sporty bucket seats with premium cloth upholstery, offering excellent support for longer drives. The multi-function leather-wrapped steering wheel includes audio, phone, and cruise controls, giving you complete command without taking your hands off the wheel. The center console is intuitive, featuring a touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity, HD radio, and USB/Aux inputs to keep you connected on the go. The 8-speaker Pioneer sound system fills the cabin with rich, high-fidelity audio, elevating every drive with concert-like sound quality.

Passenger space is another major win for the tC, offering more room than most of its competitors in the compact coupe segment. The rear seats feature 60/40 split-folding capability, significantly increasing cargo versatility. With the rear seats up, you already get a generous amount of trunk space for a coupe, and with them folded flat, you’ll have plenty of room for bikes, gear, or weekend getaways. This thoughtful design blends practicality with style, giving you a coupe that can handle everyday life without compromise.

Safety is prioritized with a full array of advanced features. This 2012 Scion tC is equipped with dual front airbags, front-seat-mounted side airbags, and side curtain airbags. Additional safety tech includes electronic stability control (ESC), anti-lock braking system (ABS), brake assist, and traction control, all working together to provide confidence on the road. The tC also scored high in crash tests, reinforcing its reputation as a dependable and secure choice for drivers and passengers alike.

Mechanically, Scion vehicles, especially the tC, are known for being extremely reliable and low-maintenance, a reflection of their Toyota DNA. This particular example benefits from regular, documented servicing. West Coast cars like this one, especially those with a single-owner, hold their value far better than vehicles from harsher climates where road salt, humidity, and extreme temperature changes can cause early corrosion and mechanical wear. This vehicle’s history not only gives peace of mind but also strengthens its long-term resale value, making it a smart investment.

It’s worth taking a moment to talk about Scion as a brand, which was created by Toyota to bring innovation and youth-focused design to the market. The tC is one of Scion’s best-selling models and has a cult following due to its unique combination of style, performance, and affordability. With Scion no longer in production, well-preserved examples like this have become increasingly valuable. Their Toyota-engineered reliability, paired with modern features and great driving dynamics, means they continue to be sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike. Few vehicles in this class offer the kind of value retention and desirability you get with a Scion, especially one with a flawless ownership history.

The driving experience is where the tC truly shines. Thanks to its sport-tuned suspension and low center of gravity, the car corners confidently and remains composed even during more spirited drives. The electric power steering is responsive and precise, making city driving and highway cruising equally enjoyable. Whether you're navigating urban streets or taking winding backroads, the tC’s balance of performance and comfort gives you the best of both worlds.

In summary, this 2012 Scion tC is the ideal blend of performance, reliability, and versatility. It’s a one-owner, clean-history coupe with desirable features like a panoramic glass roof, premium interior options, and a strong service record. With Supreme Motors' reputation for offering the best prices on the highest quality cars in the Northwest, you won’t find a better-maintained or better-valued example than this one. Act quickly, because cars like this—especially with perfect ownership history—are in high demand and don’t last long on the lot. Supreme Motors continues to deliver vehicles that stand out from the rest, and this Scion tC is a prime example of that standard.
