Default Scion xb and xd underpriced?

2011 scion xb and xd are underpriced? buy it new then sell it for more lol


4. Scion xD
Toyota's product planning wizards struck gold when they decided to build a luxury car and call it something else (Lexus) to create a new market for its automobiles. They repeated this trick downmarket with Scion, and the xB and tC have scored bulleyes with Gen Y buyers looking for reliable cars that scream hip. The comparatively low-key hatchback in the line-up - the xD - is along for this winning ride.
Base MSRP: $15,845
Average market price: $16,605

5. Scion xB
The xB arguably made Scion's name, a veritable four-wheeled box that in 2004 announced its practical intentions while at the same time somehow redefining what a cool car was all about. Seven years later the xB is taking cues from aftermarket customizers and now comes in a limited-release series featuring an impossible to ignore blue exterior that boasts dramatic front, rear and side skirts. But desirability alone doesn't account for the high prices being paid for both the xB and xD: the earthquake damaged plants that make both cars and production has been halted under further notice.
Base MSRP: $16,950
Average market price: $17,670

rarely ever do you see any of the Scions actually sold for MSRP. Wether its a set price or not its barely ever MSRP unless you know the guy. I got my employee discount and it was still above MSRP on a USED one.

That's why you don't buy a used scion. New = pure pricing = you pay MSRP.

Trust me an xB wasnt first choice but i was in a situation i had to get out of.
