Most of them are dealers or people that wanted one and can't really afford it. Or some people think that they might be able to make some $$$ on them. Not really because of any problems though.

I know of a few people who sold / are selling their Scions to buy other Scions ... either the RS1.0 xB or the tC.

Other people seem to be the compulsive car swapper type ... they sold something else to buy a Scion when it first came out, and they're doing the same to buy something else ... and they'll do the same thing for yet another car 6-12 months from now.

As for me, the only real problem I have is that PEOPLE WON'T STOP ASKING QUESTIONS :wink:

I haven't had any problems at all with mine (other than my cracked windshield)
I really do love the way it looks, rides, etc...
I'm just wanting to sell mine to pay off my loan,
I want to use the money I spend on the scion for home projects...
I figure I can get another one in the future if I like, or some other model that may be out...

I also happen to have 3 other cars, so the Xb isn't my main car

Nothing but damned rattles :evil:

uh-oh, I don't have any rattles, something must be wrong.

Did your rattles start after a certain number of miles? Would like to know when I can expect them to start.

Rattles started on the test drive on a different car LOL. Well, the suspension is not really minimizing the rattles like other cars. And we are talking about american roads compared to Japan's.

What annoys me now though is the driver seat creaking each time I sit on it or move around, it creaks. Anyway has this issue and did you get a replacement? Although it is normal wear and tare, but at only 3400miles, come on. Dont get me wrong, I like the Box, I'll still get one if my current box is condemned as a lemon due to the vibration at stop deal. Two more fixes and it's automatically a lemon as per MD law.

After 27,000 miles my rear window started rattling! But that's the only problem i've had.

No real problems per se.Just starting to notice little rattles and noises as she is getting broken in. In particular the rear windshield seems to make noise.Upon inspection I notice nothing loose or out of the ordinary.Oh well...the gas mileage more than makes up for it. :D

No rattles or noises or problems at all so far.

I have only one complaint and it is the doors, I really wish they weren't quite so light. I can live with it personally, but EVERY time I am going to have people in my car I have to make a point to tell them CLOSE THE DOOR GENTLY PLEASE, especially in the back. If you shut those doors with anything more than 8 ounces of force they let out a horrible TING!! sound and sound like they are going to break.

I know they are fine as long as people aren't idiots and close them gently, but it's embarrassing and annoying to have to tell people this all the time, it makes them thing the car is a cheap piece of crap and invites jokes and comments etc. What worse is when I tell people and they forget and slam it anyway and chuckle about it. It's not so funny when the doors starts SOUNDING different because they've been slammed maybe 3-4 times so you know something has gotten tweaked.

Love the car. I just wish they could have spent $100 more building it and made the doors just a bit more solid, the rear doors don't exactly inspire confidence either if they are all that's between you and an SUV barrelling into the side.... :roll:

Just curious....those of you with rattle problems. Are any of your cars stock or do you have different tires and wheels? Do you have non-stock shocks and springs?

Before my unfortunate incident...after about 200 miles I started hearing a rattle over my right shoulder...the car was going to go in to the shop to get looked at...that was scheduled for the day after my accident...but now that has gone by the wayside with the 4000 dollars of suspension damage...
