How well does a Scion hold its value?

Resale value is everything when you sell or trade. Because ForCar prices from the live market, you see how a Scion actually depreciates — here's the median value by age across the brand's models, from real listings (compare with the typical depreciation curve by age):

We're still building enough Scion listings across model years for a full brand depreciation curve — open a specific model for its value by year.

Trading in or selling your Scion?

Know all three numbers before you walk in. Trade-in is fastest but lowest; selling private-party nets the most; a dealer's asking price shows the ceiling. ForCar's range gives you the leverage to negotiate from real data, not a salesperson's screen.

Scion value FAQ

How much is my Scion worth?

It depends on the model, year and mileage. ForCar gives a free instant range from real Scion listings — pick your model and year above for the trade-in, private-party and dealer price.

Which Scion holds its value best?

Resale varies a lot by model. Open any Scion model above to see its real depreciation — how its market price drops year by year — so you can compare which ones hold value.

Is the Scion value free?

Yes — every estimate is free with no signup, based on real US market listings rather than a subscription book value.

How is this different from Kelley Blue Book?

Book sites estimate from their own model. ForCar shows what Scions are actually listed for right now on the open market — updated continuously.

Is this a free Scion Blue Book alternative?

Yes. ForCar is a free, no-signup alternative to Kelley Blue Book and NADA for Scion values — instead of a private formula, you see real asking prices for every Scion model, updated daily.

Scion values from real US market listings, aggregated per model and year. For exact specs decode your VIN; for book values see KBB/NADA. Last updated Oct 2026. — ForCar Reviewed by , founder of ForCar.
