Whoo-hoo! I got a 2004 w/ 11K for $12,200! I think that is a very good price, no?Take a look and let me know what you think.... just don't break my heart.

I have a wife and kid and am not looking to pimp this ride, save for maybe some new wheels and a bit here and there. We were looking at the Xa for awhile but I just drove teh Xb today -- and loved it! So, I went ahead w/ the Ebay auction I was watching. Buying a car on Ebay -- how nutty is that?

hey, what's up with those wheelcovers? I've got the 9-spoke on mine, I've seen the 7-spoke...but where did those come from?

beioski ~ hey, I'm hoping the resale is better as well, but I've been looking EVERYWHERE online, and this is, hands-down, the best deal I found...

In fact, call me an idiot, but I bought this in FLORIDA. It just so happens I live in MICHIGAN!. My wife is a flight attendant so I can zip down there for free, but I'll still have to drive it back up north. But it's my new car, danm it, I'm looking forward to the drive. (and for good measure, I'll be stopping in Atlanta and visiting the MLK Center).

I know you saved some, but for $3,000 more I would rather have a brand spanking new one. :ponder:
But it looks like you got a reasonable deal. :)

Yeah, that was the debate. But we need the 3K... It does have the floor mats, so that's an extra $120 or so, right?

they aren't scion wheel covers. they look like they might be echo ones.

Hmmmm...6air bags, center armrest, center console, digital guages??? Somebody mixed up 2 ads. All that aside, nice ride, good luck and welcome to the club....just try to not mod it, I dare you!

schit, I know. I've already been checking the web for mod options. I haven't even picked it up yet...

Those Toyota caps actually look better to me than the Scion standard, but I'll be getting some rims most likely.

I called about the airbags. She went and looked and said she saw 5 -- which doesn't make sense to me. I'm assuming it will be standard dual front airbags. If there are more, I'll be happy.

What are the airbag options for the Xb?

Maybe it has airbag suspension on each wheel=4,+ the drivers steering wheel airbag=5+passenger side airbag=6 :wink: J/K,it looks great,I'm sure your going to enjoy it.
