yesterday i finally got rid of my 2004 RS1 Scion Xb
traded in and got me a brand-spankin' new 2008 Dodge Magnum!!!

I Love my new Magnum
i got over my scion thatz why traded it in

its been nice knowing everybody on this forum and the Scion Scene
i will miss it a lot especially those dealer car shows

Peace

 

Those Magnums are nice! You got a pic of it and are you gonna throw some Dubs on it?

 

i would post a pic of my new ride but i dont know how to on this site
pics of my old ride look at my profile

i might put some double-deuces but not right now
little by little

 

how much they give you for the box? what condition was it in/miles/etc...?

 

box was in good condition
had about 58K miles on it

 

Congrats...you may pass us on the freeway, but we'll pass you while you're at the gas station.

 

You say that like it's a GOOD thing. Good luck with your Candien built/American designed wagon. Hopefully you won't have too many recalls or warranty visits. Also, I hope the price of fuel doesn't double anytime soon for ya.
You did get the Hemi I hope? Now get busy installing a Charger front end on that thing. The Magnum front end looks lame outta the box.

 

You are so right... They mass produced those ___nums and only 2100 RS1's

 

I love my xB also, but man, what a bunch of "haters".

I say, "Enjoy the new ride".

 

Thats too bad, it could have been a "easy come, easy go" kinda perspective.
That was one of my favorite xB1's on these forums .... a sad day(for me anyways) indeed.

 

Enjoy your new chopped top and stretched xB with an engine swap.

 

Yeah I bet that RS 1 is long gone off the lot by now.

 

to each their own...

good luck Dude

 

I was trying to get my dad to buy me a Magnum when i was right out of high school, but rather he bought me a xB, i was so ____ed, but after driving it home, it was so cool, now i own to, couldnt be happier.

 

how much u get for it? if u dont mind sharing

 

Still smile and wave when you go by us!

 

From my perspective, its usually the case when someone gets "rid of" / sells there xB1 or xA - that they tend to then go with something "faster" / more hp.

Thats the trade off now a days, do you want better mpg , or 1.5 -2.5X more hp over what a xB1 or xA gives you. You cannot have both great mpg + hp.

I'll enjoy my xA until the day comes when I can get a 2.5L ~ say 170 hp(stock) AWD NA, that will get me a solid mid-30's mpg (maybe 35-38 ish) average. That day is not too far into the future- maybe 4-6 years from now, at the rate that certain car technologies are headed, whether it be from Toyota or Subaru .... but thats the only way I'd even consider buying another car in the next 10 years (and even then, would I sell the xA to then buy that car ??!!)

 

We're not hatin'...just pointing out the obvious. Toyota's #1

 

Not to mention the upkeep cost on that car over our modified Echo's. I love how simple, and low cost the upkeep is on them, along with the mpg.

I bet after a few trips to the gas pump, most people come to realize horse power is over rated. Nothing wrong with a powerful car or truck, but if you don't need it in your line of work, it silly to replace a fuel efficient car, with a gas hog. Maybe add to the fleet, but not replace.

 

never have been a fan of magnum...or anything that Chrysler or Dodge has come out with in the past thats under $70 grand...

kind of had a crush on an SRT-4 a couple years back until i realized that it was a boosted neon...thats like being the fastest runner in the special olympics
