It is final.

This morning I went to the land of trucks and SUVs (Manassas VA) and looked at yet ANOTHER xB. The price was fair, but I told them my budget anyway. They countered and I was satisfied. Now I am the proud owner of:

2005 Polar White xB
45000 miles
Alpine CD Stereo w/DVD player
2 DVD screens in the headrests
an electrical outlet? I think to plug in a video game and play on the DVD screens?
Rims - not sure what kind yet
Rear Spoiler
Some Sweet tinted windows
and there was some big thumpty thump speaker in the back, but I took that out all ready - it was far too pimp for this old lady

It was a 1 owner car also. I get the impression he took pretty good care of this box. The factory stereo was included in case I want to sell off the fancy stuff.

IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE BACK IN A SCION! OMG

I will post photos later. I have a busy weekend ahead of me - not to mention that I realized that I am going to be needing a root canal. I have never had my cheek swell up like this. I am NOT happy

but I have my car - - - AGAIN!

 

how much for the pre-pimped xB?

 

HA - I am pretty happy with this deal (patting myself on the back). ALL the Scions - I mean ALL the Scions in this area are going for around $12k or $13K. and they are all stock (not that the extras are selling points for me). Regardless of mileage, the CHEAPEST xB in this area is 12-13K and they are not all that clean.

My budget was $10K and I have all the time in the world.

They had lowerd the price to $11990. I told them I would write the check for $10K and take care of taxes, tags myself. They countered with a bottom line, including taxes, tags and fees: $11365.13

I'm pretty happy with that.

Now I've gotta get my hubby in an xB!!!

 

ok - I am SUCH a girl about this whole thing - - - -

I just discovered there is a CD changer under the passenger seat! ha HA! Hmmm..... what DVD should I watch in the car tonight? Cool Hand Luke? Monsters Inc? How about Matrix?

now to pick those 6 special CDs for the changer.......

 

nice find. and good bargaining skills.

 

You gotta go with Cool Hand Luke. It should not even be a question.

 

Congrats for coming back to the fold. You done good on the price.

Choosing Cool Hand Luke will confirm that you are a person of great taste and social prowess.

 

Yay! Pics of the new box! Pics of the root canal! Wait, maybe just pics of the box when you're done drooling.

 

Welcome back--sounds like you got a pretty good deal.

 

LOL - nice setup! i love watching movies in my xB! I mount my laptop onto this mount i made for it, then just plug in the laptops "audio out" port to the scion auxillary input and BOOM - me and my passengers have an awesome movie experience. i duno what speakers you have but i have the stockers and i am very very impressed with the sound while watching a movie. i know it's not the best quality sound you can have, duh, but i think it's pretty damn good for such a "cheap" economy car...

here is a pic of my setup:



enjoy your new ride!
- sh00k

 

I have never been MORE EXCITED to go to the dentist before in my LIFE! I look like I am related to Marlon Brando and I can't stop walking around say "You disrespect ME....."

Actually - I have gone to the DMV website and looked into getting vanity tags that say "DA TOOTH" or "A TOOTH" simply because of the timing of this - I think I am a bit delerious right now - hopefully he will give me some good drugs and I can think of a better vanity plate.

 

I have determined that I am a dork - if that is a proper term for someone such as myself.

All those who are familiar with Cool Hand Luke will get this - - - I just looked up a vanity plate that I think I will get for my new ride:

A EGG

There are so many great lines from that movie and I quote them all the time. Any time I want to make my Boss chuckle all I gotta mutter is "Why you so good to me boss?"
