The Scion tC window sticker — build, options & years
The Scion tC ran from 1995–2026. Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price, built around the 2.5L, 4-cyl, Regular fuel, Front-Wheel Drive powertrain.

What the Scion tC sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the tC, latest tested year 2016:
The label also prints an estimated $2,400 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 366 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the tC under Subcompact Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the tC's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2005 to 2016. Worth checking before you compare a tC sticker from one year with another:
Over that span the combined figure rose by 3 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
What a used tC sells for now
The label froze the tC price on the day it left the factory; the market has moved since, and this is where it landed: median asking price of the tC by model year, from 121 live US listings:
| Model year | Median asking price | Sample |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 12 listings | |
| 2014 | 12 listings | |
| 2013 | 9 listings | |
| 2012 | 21 listings | |
| 2008 | 25 listings | |
| 2007 | 18 listings | |
| 2006 | 15 listings | |
| 2005 | 9 listings |
A 2015 tC asks a median $8,999 today, a 2005 about $4,500. Full breakdown on the Scion tC value page.

Where to find the VIN on a Scion tC
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every tC, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Scion tC all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Scion tC whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
