I traded in my 2003 Matrix XR/Auto paid 3000 cash to get my xB 5speed

2000 ford f-150 Quite a change. I moved to the city and changed jobs. Didn't need that much automobile anymore. Went for the auto xb for it's over all practicality. Love it!!!

sold a 93 nissan sentra. Good little car, maintained it well, and pretty quick(it had the factory spoiler, so you know it was fast :) )

Needed a four door and the xb fits the bill perfectly.

91 mustang lx 5.0. It was a heads/cam car, pretty fast but really bad on gas and something was always broken. I wanted a cheap car that was good on gas that looked nice and was not american so I got the xB. :)

Sold my restored '71 Beetle while my RS1 was on order...

I actually upgraded for my xB. I had a 2002 VW Jetta that was about to implode! Wound up paying less than $14k for my xB but I neglected to look for the infamous "hidden fees." I took them at their word in the "pure pricing" department. DEFINITELY an upgrade though. :lol:

I traded a 2002 WRX, stage 2, It went as fast as the money escaped from my pocket.
I still miss the car, but the XB is much easier to love financially.

93 Dodge Spirit........UPGRADE!

Traded the wife's 03 Altima. So glad she could sacrifice that dime a dozen ride for her new toy box =D

Traded in my '99 Miata that I had just painted. It was black and I painted it light metalic silver/green. (chevy trailblazer color) just to get a better trade in on the Xb. I got $3000 more for trade after I painted it. The Xb is just like the Miata except for the extra 2 doors, more room, better stereo, more unique apperance, yeah just like the Miata...

'88 Camry LE (covered in bumper stickers)

Talk about boxy....

2003 Toyota Matrix XRS (180hp vvtl-i)


-THE DON

The lease ran out on my 2000 Echo. Got a lot of "is that the umm you know the ummm..." No its not a hybrid, that's the Prius... Instruments in the center, lots of headroom, especially in back...I was prepping myself for the box and didn't even know it. :)

I traded in a 1997 Mistubishi Diamonte for my XB. If I had to do again, I would have done again.,

'89 Mustang, 2.3L which had 88 horses 150,000 miles ago. That car was a pile. Will not own a Ford again.

Traded my 2003 Dodge Ram SWB. Kept the supercharged, heavily modified '96 Miata for pretty days.

Selling my 1964 Olds Dynamic 88 2 DR Hardtop to reimburse my savings account. :evil:

2003 Mazda Protege 5. 11,000 miles. Excellent shape with 18" wheels. Traded straight across. Miss the sunroof and cruise control (I was told by salesperson that my Box had it...and of course I signed paperwork and drove home w/o cruise.) If drive was not 500 miles, would have done something about it...0h well. Love the box for what it is...cool looking echo...

sold my dad my 1964 chevy belair 4 door for the down payment and then he decided to let me keep my belair and the money for the downpayment

'89 Mustang, 2.3L which had 88 horses 150,000 miles ago. That car was a pile. Will not own a Ford again.

I wouldn't judge ford now based on what they did in '89. My brother's 2003 Cobra is a beast... of course it's modded but hey, he has more money than me. :lol:

The fact that everything broke on that thing is what makes me dislike Ford, not the fact that they put out a Mustang with a four banger. Not just mechanical engine stuff failed either, both door handles, both front seats, horn, cruise, radio, console lid, you know, just the basics you use every day. I could also write a book about what went wrong under the hood, but I don't have that kind of time.

We tried to trade in our '93 Suzuki Swift sedan with 145,000 miles on it. They offered $1.00. :P

It's going on eBay after the holidays... I'm sure I'll get maybe $500 for it (we only paid $1,000, so that would be a decent return).

i traded in my beat to hell 2000 subaru 2.5RS with 47,000miles on it. It needed about 6k worth of body work to it, if not more. I was glad to get rid of it.

I still have my other subaru thought :)

2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart edition. <------Piece of Monkey poop.You'd think I would have goteen the message after my firs Lancer caught fire all by itself and burned to the ground but nooooo I had to get another one that fell apart even faster!

2004 VW GTI 1.8T That car was pretty rad, but being a grad student with a wife that is an undergrad takes a toll on the budget.

'02 Civic Si hatch, kinda made me drive like a a$$hole, now with 108 ponies I have achieved intergalactic spiritual oneness (too slow to drive like a dick)

I traded a NYC MTA subway MetroCard for mine..

I traded my 98 Dodge Avenger for the Scion. It was an easy choice... the lower ball joint just snapped on the avenger, which cracked the axle ($500 to fix it all), I assessed about $2000 more work over the next 1 1/2 years (new tires, rear struts, cracked infinity speakers, etc). Hey! It's Scion time!!

2003 f-150 quad cab

98 eclipse that was totaled customized with a bodykit blitz,18 inch enkeis, aem cold air intake,alpine audio system, with jl 12, ummmmmmmm o a carbon fiber hood,and z 3 fenders, lol just joking i had a body kit on it but it looked liked crap and the dam moonroof leaked like a _____, lol traded in to the same dealership hahaha

My 99 si was stolen. Used insurace for downpayment and my TV! Love it, my 8th car gonna keep it for a while!

I used to own a 99 Toyota Tacoma...lowered, rims, blah, blah, blah...After getting into an accident, I found out the price to repair it was too much. So, I scrapped it, sold it, and used the money I got from selling the car and the insurance to buy an xb...and been happy ever since :twisted:

I traded Bella, my 2003 Infiniti FX45 in Liquid Copper. Miss the car, but not the expense!!

2003 Civic Si

96 s-10 blazer

99 Chevy Z71 ext cab

I sold my 96 Nissan PU xe for $3000 and I'm trying to sell my 95 Rodeo but no takers. I put down $5000 and financed the rest for 3.9%. I thought that was good enough. I'm still trying to sell the Rodeo though. 95 with 77k. Any one want to buy?

Had a 95 Toyota corolla DX? Had the bigger motor all the options etc…

181K
Dead AC
Sticking tranny
Balding tires
Leaking power steering pump

Then the brakes failed on me on the freeway and I hit a g35 (no one hurt), then I had a 2004 5.7 ltr hemi (nothing to do with my name) RAM as a rental. The next week a guy pulled out of a driveway on a major street in front of me and I hit his lovely 8? Ford Aerostar that was already missing most of the panels of the front clip! He tried to flee pretended he didn’t speak English (but its ok this cracka knows enough Spanish) cops came rolled him up ;-).

Any who insurance gave me $2500 for the corolla on my bday and I dropped it on my box, definite UPGRADE!!

Excuse the wordy post but that is the road that brought me to my 05 white xB!

my soul , i still have to make large cash payments tho.

01 corolla s

Sold my 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IIIV.

Yes. I am retarded. Thank you 8)

your welcome. but think of it like this . in two years the xb's motor will still be near 100% versus that poor lil fast ___ dsm.

I traded in my 01 Jagaur S-Type for my 05 xB. My grandfather gave me the Jag after it was a year old. It only had 20,000 miles on it when I traded it and was paid for when he bought it. About 2 months before I traded it the tranny on the jag went out but it was still under warranty for only a few more months. Jaguar fixed it and I figured then I needed to get rid of it now and get something for it before the tranny went out again and I would have to pay for a Jaguar transmission. I got a great deal on it though!

'03 Corolla S

97 Acura CL 3.0 with like 120k miles...nice car buuut...it was on the way to the grave...

helllllllllllllllllooooo xB :D

I got rid of my Mercedes 190E.....It was an 89 :) ...lol. It was in great shape on the out side but it was about to take a puke. I really miss the system I had in it. So when it came time to buy a car my first brand new one for the price and style the Box was the abvious choice. I could not be happyer, I find exscuses to drive places.....like comuteing is not enugh.

I sold this car which I had put my heart and sole into and 3 months later I got a call from the person that I had sold the car to stating that she had fallen asleep behind the wheel and put it into a telephone pole doing 60mph and lived (good car. I would own another

Sold a 1977 Chevy 1/2 ton van (full size 6cyl short wheel base)-no power steering, no power brakes no A/C and 3speed manual. The whole bottom edge around the entire van was rusting out as well as the lip around the roof. MPG averaged around 8 to 10 MPG with a weekly total of 250mi.My son called it "Full contact driving" .I actually saved $5 per month on household budget, with the new car loan, just in the gas difference!! :shock: I love my new Scion, 17500mi since Feb.04 :wink:

Traded an 05 xA. Best decision, I love my box. The xA was just to generic looking for me.

I sold my '99 Chevy S10 2wd lifted 9 1/2"

My lease ended on a 2000 Ford Explorer and bought my Xb and I LOVE this little car. Test drove many others when I test drove the Xb it was what I knew I wanted right away.

Sold my 96 Accord...seems to be a trend! Wouldnt go back!

I was so HAPPY to finally leave Honda. I had 4 in a row. Thats not bragging , thats Torture.
But my Last one that I actually traded was an `03 Civic EX that I had just leased 10months before. But I BOUGHT my xB.

1992 Dodge Grand Caravan LE

I traded my 2002 Honda Accord EX V6 coupe. I wanted to get something a bit cheaper. I really really liked my accord, the Xb is fun and I like driving it but I truly miss my climate control and 200hp. Oh well, at least I have more money to blow on toys for my box.

TRD 18's will be here thursday, New alpine stereo with Sirius sat radio in the car. Maybe next week/month I'll add the lowering springs and intake. I have done more mods on this car in the week I owned it than I did to my accord the whole 2.5 years I owned it.

I'm going to be selling my 95 Chevy Blazer so I can get my XB.

1998 plymouth neon sport (in ways its an up grade others down grade like power lol)

1994 Ford Ranger 2.3L

Thing had so many problems....decided to get an xB to get me through college.

a 93 caravan that had been demolished beat missing most the front bumper. got a hundred for it but i think that was because the guy felt bad for because that car was the best thing i ever owned or not

2001 Black Ford Focus ZX3 5 Speed (hard to get at the time)
few mods, Focussport intake, Custom exhaust W/ a flow master muffler 8)

slammed 2.2 inches SKRAPE SKRAPE

it was a piece of junk. CEL every other week, water leak, oil leak, overheating, Failing odomoter. changed 4 times (probably had 100,000 but traded it in with 97,000)

1994 delsol si, mint condition
to many mods to list. check it out

Still have my '96 Z71 Suburban, but the gas guzzler is just sitting in the driveway!

03 Nissan Sentra SER spec-V A little nismo here a little nismo there all in all a pretty quick car but horrible handling inbelievable torque steer and this un nerving habbit of floating then proceeding to wallow over large undulations in the road at 90+ Even with the suspension upgrade that car was my demise just waiting to happen.

Also was not too keen on the 92 octane only and 20 mpg

My Scion dealer would'nt take a trade-in. He said it wasn't part of the pure pricing feature of Scion. I'm thinking it was more because it was a 93 colt vista with high miles. I even had a hard time donating it. The 5th place I called (outta CA) sent someone from Harrisburg to get it in MD. Had it been a 94, there wouldn't have been a problem donating it at all. I ended up with my box tagged and titled, at 4.4%, putting 3200 down, so I could pay under 2 and a quarter a month.

Finally was able to get outta my 04' Mazda3 "s" 5-door. What a piece of "crap". Back when I bought it, it was between it and the Xb. In 11months, that Mazda was in the shop "14" times and for something different everytime. Trouble Spots were.....

14 interior rattles from the dashboard, all the windows, door panels, passenger seat, rear hatch, rear cargo area, headliner, sunroof and ventilation system.

Mechanically I had to take it in for,

replacement of 3 window regualtors
entire replacement of rear brakes
entire replacement of rear shocks/springs
entire replacement of hydraulics on the clutch
replaced clutch switch
replaced drive shaft bolts (they fell off)
weak a/c
front suspension fixes (never got fixed)
rear hatch struts failed
power steering acting like it was "manual" and not power

All of this in just over 12,000 miles

Good riddance to that one and "all" of Mazda forever for me.

Hello my beautiful new XB!

Wow. I was trying to decide between the 3 and the xB. Now I'm glad I chose the box!

we were going to trade in my wifes 99 accord v6, but instead gave my father in law the accord, then went down and dropped 1000$ and walked out with the new scion. My wife was stoked when we bought it, since she wasnt expecting it. I told her we were goign for a "test drive".

i traded in a 2001 Ford Explorer Limited...with a salvage title and tranny problems...with only 82000 miles it was on its second tranny bout to be its 3rd...never again will i own an American car

2001 honda civic lx coupe it's the best move i made,more room interior and it's just someting different like all of the attention i get when i'm driving down the road..

im about to trade in my 2000 ford focus... and im so glad to get rid of that pice of crud haha

"traded in" a 95 Ford escort wagon, with about 251,000 miles on it, and it was wrecked twice. :doh: Dealership gave me a bill for it :rofl: and I put down 1,600 and left with my first new car. :relief: All in my name, nobody elses, except Toyota :bow:

Sold my 99 civic ex coupe. Mint condition. Must say, I loved the car... But kinda got tired of EVERYONE owning one, not to mention it being broken into twice. Being 6 ft. 3, I needed a bit more head room, and a bit less speeding tickets. Salvation is here...

hey guys if you know anyone that wants a XB let me know im selling mine for$10,950 it has the 6 cd changer in mp3 player, the rear spoiler 17 inch rims, automatic trans, front tint to match the rear, and the color is balck cherry pearl. theres only one problem, and that is that it is salvage title but it is in great shape now. i had got it with 2,735 miles and now it has around 7,200 miles. i put the new air bags and sensors. so there wont be any problems in the future. also the front seat belts were replaced. if you are interested PM me ;) latz u need pics i can send them to u or may be post them

Sold my '00 Contour SVT.
Many mods, lots of power, handled like nobody's business. :bow:
Also didn't like to start when it was cold (are '00 models supposed to do that? :no: ) , had some fuel pump issues, some bucking issues, and the master cylinder deteriorated about 1 mile from the interstate.
I counted my blessings, fixed all the problems, counted my blessings again, and sold the car.

I couldn't be happier. :)

93 honda civic del sol....automatic

I traded in my black 2001 VW Golf TDI (diesel), for a camo xB.

Well I had a 1991 Honda Accord 4 door sedan that was freshly painted w/ 1 piece headlights & ready for a motor swap, when i lended the car to a friend to buy supplies for our shop & some idiot was trying to pick up his cell phone in the rain & ran a red light. The car was totaled, so i needed a new car & the rest is history.

I traded my 2000 Xtreme S10 V6 automatic in for Scion xB manual =)
had 66k miles on the S10 and got 6700$ trade in for it, above blue book by about 300$ woot =)

I traded in a '91 Toyota Previa DX. Nice car. It would have been funnier to trade in my old Toyota Van for a Box. Hah. You go from a wedge to a box :)

I got ripped off on the trade-in of course, but the car was my college graduation gift kind of, from my dad, so technically it was 100% profit on my part. Now I have an xB! :)

We sold my girlfriends '98 Cavalier Z24 to her brother for $4500 bucks. Used the money to pay off my Yamaha Jet Boat and then financed the xb through Toyota since we got tier one financing.

I needed somthing else more practical for the city and something to carry more than two people... So the xB is now the beater car

99 Audi A4, which was a nice luxurious ride, but both gas and parts were too expensive! Plus we needed more room for the new little addition to the family.

2000 Dodge Intrepid...automatic

i gave my 96 sentra to the salvation army for a tax write off, then got my baby b-ox.

Totalled a 1998 Toyota Corolla - flood damange. Got the xB two weeks later. I love it! Great gas millage, cool looks and fun to drive.

Crap I just realized my post was OT- this is for xB's... sorry

I didn't trade anything in to get my box, but I had a 92 Acura Legend L with 230,000 miles on it. So Kidding..........it died.

I remember seeing hte XB somewhere, may be on the road, and I thought, hey that's one cool looking car. It was my first choice for the replacement of my Legend.

I sold an 04' SRT-4 ... Something about all the mods I can do to the xB made me want it so bad... The stereo the suspension, etc. I just kinda realized that no matter how fast I tried to go in the SRT-4, someone out there was always going to be faster.. Plus I was on a first name basis with all the cops in my area

i am getting my camo xb tomorrow (hopefully!)

and i am selling my highly gas efficient 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser, which got like 7 mpg

i am so looking forward to my new toaster....

Well, due to a growing family, I have one daughter and 2 step children, I had to trade in my 1996 Mitusubishi Spyder GST for my 2005 Scion Xb on July 3, '04. Though I miss my convertible, times have changed, I'm no longer the single chick on the block, I'm engaged, with a 16 month old daughter and two stepkids.

The Scion is the best purchase we have made, there is no comparison to the price, gas mileage, space and style. I would rather drive a box than a minivan or an suv.

Tammie

I traded a 1993 300zx twin turbo. Over the years I had it modded up to SGP stage V. It was getting to be an older car, and I had grown tired of something always needing to be fixxed. It was a fun car, but with the price of gas and cost to keep it running was too much.
I picked my 2005 Camo xB up Friday night. Hopefully getting it tinted today, and an alarm at the end of the week. Once my wheels are in, I think I'm set.

I got rid of a 1996 ford taurus for my xb best thing i have ever done.


Pete

I traded my 99 Accord Coupe.

Traded my 02' Nissan Sentra SER spec-v along with my husbands 99' Dakota R/T for a Hemi Quad cab Ram. I went carless until I fell in Love with the XB. Just wish I could've bought the RS-1 I test drove but by the time I could buy it they were gone.
Also had a 01' Ford Focus zx-3 for 1 year (JUNK) 97' Neon R/T , 96' Mustang GT ( should have learned the lesson not to by another Ford) , 89' Shelby Dakota, 1992 Dodge Spirit R/T, 85' Omni GLH Turbo, 88' Dodge Shadow ES Turbo, 79' Camaro with a Big block Pontiac Motor (don't ask) and my first car ----Wait for it------ 78' Datsun B210 in pumpkin Orange!!!!!

Anyway we are Dodge fans and I wanted a SRT-4 but realized everybody would want to race me and I have a child in the car most of the time, so what is the fun in that.

Yes I have had a lot of cars, If I counted the Hubby's it would be a much longer list.

Trading in my 03 MR2 . Just told my yellow XB will be arriving at the dealer tomorrow.

mine was a 2002 nissan sentra spec-v crazy torque and horse but xb is to much fun :silly:

my 3 month old 2005 Mazda Rx-8 Titanium with 0 down, for a brand new CUSTOM 2005 Scion XB built by Aaron at Fred Haas Scion World with about $8000 or so worth of upgrades... :bow:

Trading in my 95 Honda del Sol. Nice fun car, especially with the roof off, but I must say I am looking forward to the interior room of my new Camo xB due in Tuesday or Wednesday.

still have my 2000 hyndea tiberon wit 147,000 miles in the drive way..i figure nothing major has gone wrong with it,so get a new car before sumtin does

Currently i'm trying to sell my 90 tracker and another car that was given to me recently, 92 buck century :D i WILL have a scion soon!

We got rid of a Toyota RAV 4 2000 but it wasn't because we needed to but we fell in love with our RS1. :love:

traded in a 1991 dodge dynasty i bought for a parts runner. kept my 240sx. gotta have a open track/auto-x car... on my second sr, no ac, t28, 10kg/8kg suspension, but it's still very streetable... :D

traded my wifes 02 RSX for her 04 xb and traded my 04 G35 coupe for my RS 2.0 #0013 2 weeks ago

I traded my 2003 Mazda Protege 5
The wife traded her 2004 Toyota Corolla S

I'll be trading in my trusty old '85 Tercel wagon. I'm going to miss the 4WD, but the xB comes pretty close in dimensions, and compared to my 62 hp, feels like a powerhouse. :P

Get this.

I sold my 2000 Toyota xtracab V6 stepside pickup on ebay for $11,800.
I only paid 18,000 for it new! It has bout 70,000 on it.
Toyota resale is pretty strong.

Bought a white 06 xb with short shift, ipod adapter, cruise, mats and spoiler.

traded in a 94 pontiac formula for 500 bucks. it was pretty beat up but it ran REAL fast. A week later a toyota salesman was telling me he bought it and how it needed $9000 in work. I was like" ok,and?"lol

1991 geo metro hatch...booyah

sadly im not going to be tradingin anything because my 2001 civic was totalled. i still miss that car but cant wait to get my xb in october.

92' mercury cougar Oh Yeah!!!

I'm trying to trade in my 1998 ML320 but I'm getting low balled with KBB values (which are 5000 below NADA).

i traded in a 99 mercury sable total upgrade to the box but i only got 700 bucks for it didnt really do anything to the price i should have kept it and blew it up or something

1997 dodge stratus, I loved that car, but it hated me

The dealer gave me my pay off on my 2001 Ford Ranger extender cab. It was a basic truck with no power accessories.

Sold my White 2002 Toyota Tundra V8 access cab with Ivan Stewart Body kit, dual exit Borla exhaust, 18" BBS RW's, chromatic rear view and signal mirrors, leather and oh yeah 13 mpg...Needed more room for my 2 boys, but I do miss 245 hp and the big VROOOOOM that my truck made.

Long live my little green toaster, I LOVE IT!!!!!

Sold a 95 Honda Civic 4 dr, 5 speed with 202,000 miles on the original clutch. AC dead and strange noises from the brakes and wheel hubs. It was about time I thought! Of course with $4-$5K it could have been saved but I'd still have a 10 year old car. The xB was the only reasonably priced vehicle with the room, economy, and standard features out there. If my wife wasn't 6'1" I'd been looking at the xA instead. Of course she wanted a SUV!

2001 S-10, lowered, rims, shaved, system, very nice s10- The plan was to bag the S10 and buy the XB as a daily driver but i decided i didnt have enough money until I graduate, so i bought the XB and will buy another s10 in a year or 2 if i get a "career" my job cant pay for 2 vehicles and living expenses

98 GMC Yukon

1977 Mercedes 240D

2.4 L Diesel engine in a HEAVY steel car - NON-turbo

Even 20 years ago and in perfect tune - it's 0-60 mph time is more than double that of the xB.

1922 Model T Ford coupe. I drove it as sole transportation for a number of years until it got T-boned.

1922 Model T Ford coupe. I drove it as sole transportation for a number of years until it got T-boned.Did the side-impact aribags deploy? :rolling:

2001 Nissan Pathfinder SE

2002 SVT focus. I liked the car, just wasn't sure about it's reliability. :)

I sold my 95 Ford Ranger ex-cab 2x4 and my brothers 98 Dodge Dakota ex-cab 4x4 (he moved to Japan), paid some bills and put a healthy amount down on my xB.

I sold my 1988 BMW 528e. :cry: It had just turned 200k miles the day before I sold it too! I got $2000 for it. It was just becoming a pain to keep up with the maintanence on it. It would have cost me about $6000 to fix all powertrain and body work needed on it. So I said "F it, I'm gettin an xB" and put an ad in the paper. It sold in 3 days! Im gonna miss that car though. Drove from St Louis to New york, Chicago, Atlanta and Miami in it.


http://home.comcast.net/~jlgatewood/blog_photos/bmw001.jpg

I traded in a 2005 Focus ST loaded with everything but leather seats. The best thing I could have done. Im getting better milage now with the xB then I could only have dreamed about in the focus. My interior is much better, the fell of the car is even better. As for not having the 155 or so HP I had, I dont miss it. I have learned how to drive with the power the xB has. I will still love to take the xB up to the 1/8 track here. IT will be just for ____s & giggles. As long as I can run in <13 I will be happy. :rofl: Im trying to figure out, if it would be possible to get redneck69 out of work on a friday night, so Im not the only box out there.

Ford Windstar!

Honda Pilot

nothin handed them 7,500 and drove away with it. still got my dropped 97 s-10, in a barn waiting for money so i can bag it. but i'll prolly bag the xb first.

2001 ford taurus...dark red with tan leather, 50K miles, and a sunroof.....the thing drove, handled, and got poopie for gas mileage....but since it was a hand me down from pappy....who bought it new...then decided next week that he wanted a truck instead, so he went and got a truck...so we were stuck with 4 cars....so everytime i went somewhere i took that, so it kinda just fell into my lap....

got 9 when i traded it in, only had to finance 5k.....

the only thing that i would change would be that i would want a glass sunroof in the scion

Just signed papers today for an 06 BOP fresh off the boat in 2 weeks! Trading in my 01 Echo for it. Of course i took the wheels and springs off for the b0x m(__)m

99 tacoma 4x4 trd off road

A 92 Crown Vic with 170K miles....... sold it for 1500 bucks! NO MORE FORDS!!!

Is it just me or are ALOT of people ditchin their fords.........

i liked mine but i kept gettin confused for two people.....the 48-51 crowd, and the up an coming real estate agents....it wasnt a bad car, just handled horribly and had a lot of blind spots...none the less i beat the sh!t out of it for 3 years

2005 ford f-150. nice ride f@#$ing gas guzzler v6 10-mpg

Bought a xB with aftermarket sunroof, bastards had exactly what I wanted and bought 2 months before I wanted to. Then Sold my 2000 Echo with 135,000 miles to my GF who got rid of her VW Jetta.

Glad I did, I haven't seen a xB on the lot in some time, they are all sold before they get off the truck.

So I guess I fell to the American gas guzzler phase. Echo 39mpg --> xB34mpg

1992 POS Saturn SC2 that was falling apart and not worth fixing.

LOL, noooo, at least i'm not going to be getting that much less MPG, it's totally worth it IMO. echo was nice, but xB is so much more pimp :bow:

2005 ford f-150. nice ride f@#$ing gas guzzler v6 10-mpg 10 mpg with a v6? that's just plain sad. did you romp on it ?

2005 ford f-150. nice ride f@#$ing gas guzzler v6 10-mpg

It could not have possibly been running right, unless you overloaded it going up hill at full throttle everywhere you drove it.

The 5.4L F-150 gets better than that, hell, a 7.3L powerstroke excursion does better than that (not by much, but still better)


I am trading in my 2003 ranger edge. Its a great truck, Im just bored with it.

I will always have my custom supercharged miata (JDM style, :love: )

I traded in my wife's beat-up 94 Jeep Grand Cherakee Larado. I like the Box so much better than the jeep. Plus the jeep would smoke and leak oil all over the place.

2000 ford f-150 Quite a change. I moved to the city and changed jobs. Didn't need that much automobile anymore. Went for the auto xb for it's over all practicality. Love it!!!

Same boat as you, stickler64. I had a 5 speed Civic HX. Great on gas but fell in love with the practicality (I know, I'm old) of the box. You can't find a vehicle with this many features (auto, trac ctrl, ABS, roominess) for under $15K used. :bow: I can't wait to drive it during snow storms! :silly:

well i had 2 nissan 240sx. One's a daily, ones a weekend driver... The daily is getting ready to bite the dust. Has almost 200k miles so i thought might as well get a new car. Scion xb's are the sex and cheap and easily modifieable and being 20 years old i bought it. So now i have a parts car for my other 240 and my little brothers 240. (240 owners now how valuable a parts car is lolololol you'll need one!!!!) Sad to see it go down though. It was my first car and i learned how to drive in it. Its been in the family since 92. Iv had it for 5 years now.............sad sad day.

Traded my 1995 Explorer XLT
Got $3,800 for it. :D

Im not too thrilled about selling my .:R32 but i think its time, this car is just becoming way too expensive right now. Im not sure how many people know about this car but buying an Xb is a downgrade for me, but you really cant complain with the price of an Xb. I hope I enjoy the "box" as much as everybody else in this forum.

Some facts about my VW Golf .:R32:
-240 hp
-AWD-All Wheel Drive
-AEM intake
I will sure miss her when i sell.

A guy in my condo complex has an R32. Very sweet ride. :clap: It's the only one that I've seen around.

Not sold yet 'cause the xB isn't in, but the xB will be replacing my '94 Plymouth Grand Voyager MOOD van (conversion by Glaval Vans).

I know I'll miss being able to haul a 4x8 sheet of plywood, but I *won't* miss driving that clunky noisy thing to and from work. (I can always rent something to haul really big stuff or have it delivered.)

My wifes 2004 Buick Rendevouiz (sp?)

It was a really nice car and we got a reeeeeeeeeeeally good deal on it since my dad worked at the dealership but it was a gas hog and she drives a ways to work...we traded it in for around the same price. I drive the box now but she's thinking about getting one too 8)

Traded in a 2002 Honda Odyssey LX with 107500 miles last week - that car had more things going downhill than I care to mention - power door sticking, light in the clock stopped working 70K ago, shocks were shot, etc.

Kid was in for a shock as she doesn't have multiple choices for seats anymore, and I can't carry a complete wardrobe in the car for here anymore (the glitter glue princess had multiple wardrobe changes available at all times). :lalala:

i sold my 92 Dodge Colt 2 door hatchback. She was pretty. Custom Red and faded red plastic with aftermarket Chipped White Door Handles. 3 inch Chrome Tip, and 3 (of 4) 13 inch Chrome plastic rims. I had just replaced the entire interior, yellow and black faux leather seat covers with matching steering wheel cover and shoulder pads (all said racing on it)

The nice part about this ride was my sound system (spent all my money on it) i had a JVC cd-MP3 player, a jvc 12 disc changer (under seat) Lightning Audio Bolt coaxials in the front, and tri - 6x9 in the back with 2 12in California audio Baja Subs powered by a 900 watt Rockford Fosgate Amp. in a Q-Logic box that was the same size as the trunk space. oh, and green neons and LEDs all up in my whip!

she was fun to drive, and surprisingly in great shape for a 92 (except for the faded plastics) sold her to a friend from work for 2000 bux. (i bought her for $25, and rebuilt the engine for about 500 bux) good return on my part, and no i didn't screw my friend, the car is worth about 3 G's on Guam.

I sold my 96 integra gsr w/ type r swap, and many, many other extras

I regret it though, I built that car from the ground up, I bought it as a bare shell no interior nothing. It was fast and I miss it. :cry:

Glad to see my 99 Olds Alero w/ 149K miles Go.

I traded my 2001 Nissan Frontier crew cab last summer for my 2005 xB and haven't looked back. Hey, I'm laughing all the way to the gas pump! And when the wheels fall off my Scion, I'll buy another!!

I'm new here...first post today...and posting as tonkatrucker (a nod to my mom's name for my little box!)

2000 Ford Ranger 3 ltr
Was getting 18 mpg mostly. ON a good day , no tail gate, hwy, could break 20.

I loved my truck.. yes indeed.. but the flippin gas thing was way out of hand.

Got my 2004 Xb and am very happy with it.. so far averaging 30-34.

If I need a truck, the wife has a 2000 Ford Explorer Sporttrac, 4ltr.. it gets about 22 city 25 hwy....

It'd be an upgrade for you to not have a VW and most car people know about the R32, you're not impressing anyone..

lol so true. All VW's are a POS.

I got rid of a 1995 Nissan King Cab. Had a V6 and it was a 4x4 = gas hog.

traded a 2003 dodge 2500 4wd. hemi loaded gas milage is the worst i ever got with anything i owend even tri power corvette!!!!!!

I'm selling a 1995 Mitsubishi Galant (Stick) and a 1998 Chevy S-10 4x4 (Auto) for my 06 Camo xB. Love mitsu's...that '95 is my third Galant....but i'm sick of not having warranties and all the creaking that comes with 130k+ mile cars.

Supposedly i shall have my xB next week....here's hoping...

I sold my '94 Mazda Miata. The main reason I sold it was I needed more space, you can't fit anything in a Miata...

Traded in my 04 matrix xrs with 180 hp to an xb...LOL
I miss the power but don't miss my fellow matrix blue hairs.

Traded in my Brothers Volvo 240 DL

He got my 95 camry I used to drive (it wasn't really mine).

I got $250 for the trade in (WOO HOO)

I sold my 1998 Honda Prelude SH for my xB. It was fun, fast, and good looking but über impractical and not great on gas (plus it took premium).

I trade my rodeo isuzu..... :tap: :tap: :tap: :tap: :tap:

1995 saturn sl1. it had 186000 miles so i thought it would be good to get rid of.

I Traded a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS with 90,000 miles, and I had already blown one engine. I do miss the speed though. I had a lot of mods on it.

A 2002 Toyota Highlander Limited

2004 RAV4. Thank god I change it before the gas price raise up. Bought it with ~$22000 and Trade it(2005 xB) for $18700

I gave my 1989 Honda accord with 120,000 miles on it to my 16 year old daughter. I had been driving it since 1997 and it was given to me from my mother who passed away with cancer. We treat it with care.

I traded in my '94 Ford Thunderbird (V8). Upon handing over the keys and receiving the xB keys, I swore I could hear angels singing. :love:

I traded my 2002 VW Passat for my 2005 xB. VW: nice car, but the list of problems was long. The last straw was when it began to burn oil at 30,000 miles. That's what you get for 5 valves per cylinder. I had it in the shop 12x in 3 years. So much for German engineering.

Funny thing, I've now owned a car from each of the Axis powers, in the order they surrendered: Fiat 128SL, VW Passat, Scion xB.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y151/gslippy/House/P4030777.jpg

i traded in a 2000 toy corolla with 62k miles, had eibach springs, 16" wheels, kumho tires, k&n filter..was a damn good car...5 yrs 62k miles and not ONE problem...ever

i say this all the time but i love my xB!!! :bow:

I traded in my Jeep Wrangler. Sick of the constant outlays of money to keep up with nickel and dime repairs. That and the 16mpg were killing me.

I came from another extreme, I sold a 2005 Ford F-150 4x4 Crew Cab Pick-Up just weeks before the gas prices went through the roof. I miss it sometimes, it was an awesome long distance traveller.

I am in the process of trading in my 99 mercury sable for an xb threw Brett @ Joe Myers in houston. Best of luck to me!!! Me = :loser:
[/img]

I sold my 98 Sunfire 4-door to my sister in law to free up the monthly payment to get the xB...

I sold my Integra last month to get my camo Xb last fri. Decided practicality would be better for me rigth now. Now that i have my Xb im really addicted to it. Cant wait to lower it and get some rims. And do the whole Jdm thing to it. haha

Heres some pics of my old ride:

For my wife's 2004 BSP xB, I traded in our 1996 Isuzu Trooper, and with gas prices as out of control as they've been, I don't miss it at all!!! :rofl: The one thing I do miss - Being able to load big stuff when I make a run to Lowe's.

Ten weeks later, and for my 2005 TCM xB, I traded our 1993 Mercedes 190E. . . yes, a Benz for a Box!!! It was twelve years old with GREAT mileage, but it was starting eat money for repairs like a Sumo wrestler at an all-you-can-eat buffet! At the rate it was going, I would still be kicking myself in the @$$ for keeping it!!! The one thing I do miss - The sunroof. :love:

I had a 96' jeep cherokee

89 BMW E30 Cabrio, 85 K5 Blazer

I didn't trade it in, and don't plan on doing it yet, but the 06 xB I ordered is going to replace my 2004 hummer h2 as a weekend warrior.
:eyebrow:

I traded in my 1996 Isuzu Trooper for my wife's 2004 xBox. Ten weeks later, I traded in my 1993 Mercedes 190E for my 2005 xBox. I never thought we'd do the "His-n-Her" car thing, and we'll probably only do it only once, but what better car to do it with then the xBox. We're having a ton of fun and we LOVE `em!!!!!!

2005 toyota tacoma Xrunner

2004 Silverado LS fully loaded that was paid for,cash :clap: . Total cost of xB after trade in (drum roll please) $4,000.00 :rofl: :rofl:

'96 Passat GLS full-on luxo with all the bells. Sold to a buddy.

I traded riding the bus.

I sold my 91 GMC Jimmy S-15 for 5000.00 to put down on my xb.

my 1992 chevy astro, damn i miss that thing.. :-/

I'm going to sell a 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis... its huge and chugs gas like there is no tomorrow.. I cant wait for my box...

2000 Chevy Tahoe with 20's, a nice a** ride! Thought I would miss the comfort and power, but the box is just as roomy and Hella more fun to drive. Oh, and did I mention the GAS, lol. I really enjoy the box, and since I have no payments, I can mod it whenever I see something I like!

Big D, SE/LV

Holla!!!

1995 Eclipse GS-T...

2002 Toyota Rav4. This is so much bigger inside.

Selling my 1972 chevy nova to put a down payment on the box

gonna miss the 359 but not the 10mpg ans cold a$$ mornings

Traded in a 98 Jeep Wrangler that was with a 4" lift and all kinds of mods. I miss that thing. I love my box though!

2005 4WD Toyota Sequoia Limited

I'm trading in my Cavalier. What a piece. I was lucky to get enough for it to cover the loan.

My wife and I traded in a 1988 Honda Prelude S2.0. It got decent mileage, and was fun to drive thanks to the 5 speed manual. But man, what a difference going to a 2005 xB. I love it. :love:

I noticed most traded there allready small cars for another small car, interesting. I guess i'm part of a minority then that sold my muched beautiful, loved and enjoyed 2000 Ford Expidition. The xb much smaller way less power but much more sensible in the long run, cheaper to maintain and TOYOTA quality so far :P still miss the exp's ability to go anywhere was only limited by parking structure overhead clearance...everything had to be at least 6'7" overhead. Oh well heres to many future years of Scion :D

C32 AMG for the Box...small car for a BIG car.

I grew to hate that MB. Should have known to stick with Toyota after my wife's Sienna hasn't had any issues for 7 years and my MB was in the shop for all kinds of stupid stuff, i.e., losing the inner fender-well lining while driving down the road (how stupid is that?)

I traded this in..........

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/9/web/609000-609999/609139_24_full.jpg

Hurricane Katrina took my 05 explorer sport trac.... a tree crushed the entire cab, taking about 5k in electronics... was able to save my wheels... im 10x's happier with my xb, pics are posted on the forum subject is my 06 tcm *tell me what u think*

Nice Ride there in Jackson!

I've not gotten an xB yet. I'll be trading a 2002 VW Beetle Turbo. Gonna miss hearing the turbo, but think I'll be better off with the Box.

GF gave up her 91 Civic for the xb. After a month of riding around in her box I traded in my 96 Accura Integra for my own box.

I like the box more than all the previous autos I have owned. Accord, Integra VW square back, Capri, etc.

Hey, the TCM in Jackson is REALLY nice. I'm an '06 TCM owner here and liked the rims you have on it. Can you give more details....are those 15" ? Where did you get those ?
The headreast screens are also amazing. Congratulations on your box.

I just sold off my 1992 Geo Prizm. God, I loved that car. It may not have looked like much but, aside from just normal wear and tear things that will break down on every car from time to time, I never had a day's problem with it.

I drove that car hard and it never let me down. I was really sad to see it go but, with our first baby on the way, my wife and I just needed something a little newer and with more cargo room and the XB fit the bill.

Besides, since I couldn't get a sports car, the XB was about as fun a car as I could get and still justify as being "family friendly."

sold my Lexus LS400 for the xb :P Love the gas mileage on the xb but power wise.... 300hp to 100hp... damn its a noticable difference

2000 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4x4 with a 289 V8. Best truck I ever had, but the 16mpg was killing me. Sold it for $12k and got the xB for $15k.

Hurricane Katrina took my '95 S-10. It was in such good shape my insurance gave me $7,200 for it. :bow: It let me go get my Xb for $200 a month for 3 years. :clap:
