Default How much should I expect to pay?

Looking at an 2005 xB, 64K 5MT. Asking price $7995



How much would YOU pay? Trying to keep it at 7K and under. $6500 would be ideal.



Is it even possible to get an xB for that much? (Uunder 100K miles) I know there are plenty of xA's, but the xB is calling my names mostly because of the interior space.

i would offer 6k and see where that takes you. many people are willing to negotiate. the asking price on mine was $7,999.99 and i talked them down to $5,200.00 tax title and license. people are willing to negotiate and i think 7k is a good deal if the body is in good shape and the motor/trans feels good.

That's actually a good deal, I bought my used 05 xB with only 40k miles on it for 7,300

Thanks for your help, but I ended up getting a 2007 Yaris S sedan with 69K for only $6650. 5-speed, loaded out. Couldn't pass it up.

Yaris is a much smaller car... I could never even fit in one.... More like an xA

not like an xA

Good deal on that Yaris, for the money!

If you can work it, see if you can trade up (by the end of summer-Aug/Sept) to a 2006 xB1. Yaris gets better mpg, and by that time people will be seriously hating paying $4.25+ per gallon. Work the system.

That's not a bad price man.

Only one I've seen for sale in my town is $8,500 with 113k...

My buddy just traded his 04 with less than 50k 5 speed MT in excellent condition and the dealer only gave him 5k for it. That was after haggling, i would say if you pay anything less than 9k you're not doing to bad.

Please excuse the grammer and spelling, I'm on a mobile phone... LOL

Hey guys!
Where I am in Florida you can't find a decent XB for less than 10K! They are either trashed, have rebuilt titles, have too many miles, or are completely overpriced. Many dealers are asking retail or more!! I looked at a 2006 for 12K and it had 70K miles!!
