I was wondering why the new xBs don't even come with a set of floor mats. I thought all new cars came with floor mats. I just spent 14K on a car and they can't throw in a set of $40 floor mats....geez

The set of paper mats last about 2 days before they were ripped!

I did find a set on ebay for $50 shipped. They arrived 2 days after purchase.

 

Looks good. I would think they could bite the bullet & just give us floor mats for free.

 

I can not remember the last time I recieved floor mats with a new car ..... it's all about the money.

 

Look I'm not saying its reasonable but no dealership has ever given free mats... if they told you they did they lied it was included in your deal so I don't know why its such a suprise that a 14k car is gonna have mats if a 100k doesnt.

 

Tell you the truth, this is my 1st NEW car ever purchased I always THOUGHT they threw in the mats in the deal, my bad I guess. :?


Anways...if anyone is looking for a set of scion mats as a reasonable price, hes still got 3 sets up on ebay. $45 + $8 shipped. Seemed reasonable to me.

whoa, the 2005 floormats are different than the 2004's. the 2004's are like a fake burber that wears out after like 500 miles.

 

its a business........they are out to make money, not lose.......but agree that we should get those mats for free.....shesh........

 

Didnt mean to sound rude... :oops:

 

I prefer that we have to pay for the floormats and get A/C, Power windows/locks, TC/VSC/ABS and premium sound for FREE...

But maybe that's just me...

 

nothing is ever free...its always included in the price but I agree that I would rather have that stuff stock...me personally I went to autozone and got $10 rubber mats that I can just rinse to clean. real easy stuff and their black and look real nice with the interior...very stockish looking.

 

Couldn't agree more! This is my 5th new car in 12 years and none of them came with floor mats. This is the first time I bothered to purchase factory floormats too, I always went to Pep Boys and grabbed the $25 ones.

 

Nahh man...I didn't take it as being rude. I was just stating the fact that this was my first ever new car so I was cluesless

 

Damn, I think it's time to pick up some stock floor mats. The 05 ones look awesome.

I always thought floor mats were a bull____ option that dealers added on to jack up their prices when a car was in high demand. When my mother went to buy a Honda Odyssey a couple years ago they tried to sell her $200 floor mats and almost got away with it because the car was in such high demand.

I like that scion doesn't include any options unless you want them. It seems wholly logical that you would pay for the options you want and not pay for the ones you don't.

 

I think that picture is decieving!!! my 05' floor mats are waring down by the day!!!

 

What seller was it, those mats look much better than what most people have.

 

hey like i said in another post the floor mats have a 3yr/36,000 mi warranty. my dealer is ordering me knew ones & i pick them up tomorow. just have to swap them out!

 

As stated before, they're the '05 floormats. I got my floormats and cargo cover for $50 at the parts dept. with a $20 coupon they gave me when I picked up my xB.

 

i got me some black floor mats from target..front and back for $15....they work fine for me....

 

Think about it. The dealers claim that they are making about $500 on each xB. If they can sell you a set of $50 floor mats for $100 they have increased their profits by 10% with no change in their floor traffic.

Keep those stock mats. Some day they will be a "rare OEM accessory" that folks will pay $$$ for!

you have the right idea, i did the same thing....target!!! $15 bucks, cant go wrong with that!!
