Default A really cool xB for sale I spotted!

Check out this xB, the guy said it cost $60,000 to build!

It has 16,200 miles and they will take right at $19,000 for it at the lot.

yea it has been on Ebay twice now and a few diff owners, I saw it last year on the coast in person and talk with the owner at the time, and he said he had to work on it for weeks before he could even drive it it was built for the photo shoot in the mag not really drivable. I guess he sold it cause it was back on Ebay a few weeks ago, and it is deff showing its age, needs new paint and some body work, the door jam on the back is rusting and a few other things like that. I would not pay over $5000 for it.

I've also seen this car 4 sale a couple times. At one time it had been droped to the ground with the front wheels turned and had fender damage. It my be a little beat up. But its a nice ride.

the minitruckin xB has a lot of problems, especially in the rear tubs with them rusting out (not good)...Like Will said, anything over 5 or 6 grand would be a rip off really and truely.

Randodes box is like the mona lisa of xB's...you can look at it all day long and never find a flaw with that one

I think I would pay 4500 tops but only cause i could use it for spare parts

Randode's is definately the better of the 2 and lower as well from the pics i've seen

well if you look Randode"s is lower in the back. not sure about the front b/c they did raised strut towers as well, not like Randode did but they are raised. I would have to say with confidence that Randode's is lower.

"newbi" here. I saw both of these "green" monsters for sale. no joke. the "other" big xb website, the super lowered ride was up for sale at $19k I believe, which really is unbelievable. guess he was "bored" and his wife also has an xb, so they are showing that one now instead. nobody should believe me because i'm new, but its true. also, saw the first green one with the girl (who is alright, but we've all seen better, no offense to her, i'd take her over most girls) on ebay posted as "wierd scion" and that was almost all the title said. it didn't sell the first time around. i think the guy wanted not a whole lot for it, but like some people were commenting, it had some pretty major flawed areas. to be honest, the airbag kit setup was pretty freakin cool, all on the inside, which made sense if you never wanted to use the xbs large interior to haul stuff. i had mine on ebay for $12.5k, which might be a stretch, but its no slouch either and has been tastefully done. there are a lot of good looking xbs out there, but not all are mechanically sound if you know what i mean. mine is one of the good ones, and it will make somebody a happy person someday besides myself. i just want a Bb now.

The first box was like the first xB ever really "done up"...it was built to be showcased in minitruckin and if memory serves me correct it was built in something like 5 weeks...the second owner had a lot of work to do just to get it road worthy...

I think its pretty cool cuz that is "pre RS3" envy green lol, its pretty close to the real deal...did scion have a flux capacitor back in 2004??

And Randodes box is lower, they look about the same up front, but the minitruckin box sits pretty level, while randodes box drags butt like a true minitrucker...
