View Full Version : Need an insanely modded xB for $34,995?
midtowndesi 11-25-2005, 03:54 PM It'd be interesting to hear from people who see this whether or not they feel the price is fair... I feel that the price is insane - it's the price of two brand new xBs!!!!!
Don't get me wrong - i'm sure it performs/handles just as good as it looks but that's a high pricetag for a car that is $15,000 stock...

check out those brakes!
ohcanada_00 11-25-2005, 04:32 PM ricer wing ricer wing ricer wing!!!!! and personally, I want a little more for my 34k than an xB. Sorry. I love my car and would hate to get rid of it but if I did and decided to spend 34k on a car I'd get a baby BMW or Mercedes or a nice Lexus. Not and xB
Prototype_xB 11-25-2005, 04:42 PM OMG! Thats the same xB from the "worst xB ever" thread!
stick_1NZ 11-25-2005, 05:02 PM maybe each sticker cost $100.00...i can't even count how many he's got.
midtowndesi 11-25-2005, 05:18 PM hahahaha! some really funny responses here! :rofl: :rofl:

hahahaha!!! :rofl: :eyebrow:
EXPERIENCE 11-25-2005, 05:52 PM Where's the joy in it!
Buy a new one and mod it better for less, way less.
"OD" your own box , and "Have your Way".
Sciond 11-25-2005, 05:55 PM I would buy matchbox's XB instead....much better value
Romanova 11-25-2005, 06:18 PM I think you'd be hard pressed to get more than $20k for that car. Mods really don't add a whole lot to the value of the car. He would have been better off to part out the car... and even then he would have a hard time with what the parts are worth vs. what he paid for them. He is not doing himself any favors with that auction either... could use more detailed photos and information.
And who in their right mind would pay $27,900 when you could get a used Evo or STI and have a better car overall?
bBOXD 11-25-2005, 06:22 PM Stock paint and stock kit, $35k! :)
cherryBox 11-26-2005, 07:04 PM hey, c'mon now, I'm SURE that thing is SOMEBODY's dream car...

RedneckwithanxB 11-26-2005, 07:10 PM i dont know if i should start laughing, crying, or vomiting
sexyscionlover 11-26-2005, 07:17 PM i dont like it personally, but it still stands to go without saying, how many of you guys have had a muti-page spread about your xB in a national magazine?
Mark is probably closest. With this car, theyre hoping you pay for the coverage and popularity it has had, not necessarily the price of all mods on it.
timburdette 11-26-2005, 08:22 PM It's pretty nice, there's probably more that I do like about it than I don't, but for that much I would rather have an rx-7, s2000, or even a Supra.
Max2k 11-26-2005, 08:32 PM That's a complete ripoff. You could do everything on that car for a lot less than $20,000 and have a new car with 0 miles.
TheScionicMan 11-26-2005, 09:07 PM That wing has got to go and it looks like they just hacked the rear lip for the dual exhaust. That rear caliper on the top is odd looking. G/L with the auction... :roll:
grizzly_choppers 11-26-2005, 09:26 PM Yeah, I never really liked that one and they'll never see $35K on it.
I think they're asking only $30K for the Juiced xB down in Des Moines...
Some good parts on it though I guess...
Scievolution85 11-26-2005, 09:37 PM what is it with every car that loves the magazine superstreet, or has been featured in it goes ape____ with the stickers!!?? I just dont get it, there is this early 90s ford probe that drives around joliet, its the turbo charged one and its ___ as hell, and he has a sticker on every part of the car. You can hardly see paint on it anymore! Am I missing something?
cherryBox 11-26-2005, 09:38 PM I still want to see that crash dummy take it for a spin :roll:

i can tell youve never been sponsored for anything. a lot of them require you to have stickers and decals representing the company. easy as that. most of them are required
Scievolution85 11-26-2005, 10:00 PM well kind of figured that, but then again that probe around my house is more than likely unsponsored....lol. I am just saying those stickers are insane, you might as well put stickers on your nut sack if ur sponsored too then, right? Well only if they asked you too.

Ahhhh HAHAHAHA :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I think Phil's Boxilla is a way better complete project car than that one :ttth:
Zombietime 11-26-2005, 11:10 PM looks cheesy but i wonder how it runs with that supercharger.
cherryBox 11-27-2005, 03:56 AM who needs a supercharger when you've got all that VINYL? mmmm. the stickers alone add like, 50hp... at least.
And YES - I do hear what what said about sponsorships. See those teeny teeny red stickers along the side skirt and the front quarter? those are sponsored. You see the obnoxious ones - the 33, the overdose logo on the side, and a repeat of the same overdose logo on the rear quarter glass? not sponsored. no excuse.
Ok, sure, guy wants to pimp his site. ok np. that doesnt' mean it has to be as distastefully done as his site.
Maybe I am wrong. Maybe I should take on the 30 degree "dive force" cannards? the ricer wing? the carbon fiber sticker on the gas door? how bout the tasteful juxtaposition of interior DVD players and exposed tubular rollcage?
And yes, very impressive to get a full spread in a magazine. two claps.
Ok, so, to each his own.
sexyscionlover 11-27-2005, 04:09 AM yea i dont like it either. you do notice the 33 on the side and the Overdone (his company) logo though.... enough said. He just sold you on it by you recognizing the name. You may not get a part, but you saw the name and thats what matters in advertising. (Im an advertising specialist and it is going to be worked into my minor with business)
mile_hi_sci 11-27-2005, 04:14 AM i would never buy a car over the internet...i have to kick the tires and all thet junk. but hey if you trust the seller, and have that ridiculaous amout of money ....... i just think half the fun is doing the mods.
BrianxB 11-27-2005, 12:50 PM 60K invested, HA!
Mosh_xB 11-27-2005, 02:51 PM Wow, that's the ugliest, most tasteless most riced out box I've ever seen.
I'll give him $150 for it.
I'll take the supercharger, exhaust, and CF pieces and sell the rest
mikem53 11-27-2005, 04:43 PM wow... after a week... Zero bids... what a surprise
Tialian 11-28-2005, 12:16 AM I've never really understood the whole sticker fad. It reminds me of the time when I was driving down the road and some old junker had every bumper sticker you could ever think of plastered all over the car, I mean the paint had become the bumper stickers...or the bumper stickers had become the paint. Anyhow all those logos really make the car look tacky.
I prefer the clean look.
Sciond 11-28-2005, 12:43 AM wonder if I add enough stickers can I make big score in selling mine.......
:rofl: :rofl:
Buebie 11-28-2005, 05:01 AM ish. That wing is nausiating....so are all the decals. I'm offended.
Chillaxin206 11-28-2005, 04:51 PM 60K invested, HA!
I'm glad I wasn't the only person who saw that. Where oh where did the 60k go!....I don't care if that car was featured in Oprah's magazine and 50cent himself drove in it, its popularity and money invested would still not be worth that much. People are starting to be real ridiculous with the prices of these xB's. That is exaclty why it is on a 10 day listing with 2 days left and not 1 single bid.
hahajoey 11-28-2005, 05:03 PM that cars gross.
shows u money can't buy taste.. not even 60 grand
MicroVan 11-28-2005, 05:08 PM I rather spend that money and do my own car.
shoot. it would be cheaper DIY to your taste. psssssshhhhhhit...
bench 11-28-2005, 06:07 PM 60K invested, HA!
THAT 60 PESOS....
Max2k 11-28-2005, 08:42 PM Sixty thousand dollars on that car?
Bull Droppings
Let's be generous:
$4k for the supercharger
$2k for everything else in the drivetrain
$3k for the brakes
$4k for wheels (motegi?) and suspension
$10k for ICE and all that exterior hideousness
Maybe if they went through a couple xBs before this one.
Garage1217 11-28-2005, 09:39 PM WOW 140hp of blown boxy fury woohoo!
WeeMan 11-29-2005, 05:42 AM i love the front bumper... did you notice the wind dams... ha ha ha. just remember the stickers make you drive faster.... i can't believe i have seen a riced xB.
tazman34685 11-29-2005, 09:33 AM Can we all just keep it simple. can you see a car like this in the Home Depot parking lot.lololol
Padanky 11-30-2005, 01:11 AM look past all the stickers, and you will find that there isn't much more done to it than most the xb's on this forum.
22,000 is reasonable.
Would need a new rear bumper, that one is awfull + paint about $500.
Take the wing off and fix + paint roof $400. Take a $100 off if its on the hatch
STATUS 11-30-2005, 06:29 AM dont do it.... that guy lives over by me and I kno everyone at Quality ToyOTA and that thing has a plethora of problems it was in the shop almost everyday cuz stuff kept braking for a while there
WeeMan 11-30-2005, 07:14 AM don't worry no-ones gonna "do it" we are all like Nerds at prom, no-ones gonna "do it" but we can point and make fun of other peoples pimples....HA HA HA makes me shudder at the awfulness of the xB. i can't look at mine the same again. when i first saw this, i went out to my car and hugged it just to tell it i apreciate it, and i would never hurt it in such a way...
flamedxb 12-08-2005, 05:39 AM ummm ......if he want that kinda cash for that then im gonna sell mine 17,500 but i dot have as many stickers as he does
DJ_SpaRky 12-08-2005, 02:44 PM LOL didn't sell (wonder why?), & was relisted
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4595800572
bBsactoguy 12-08-2005, 03:31 PM I just bidded on the thing for fun. haha....
x2_da_b 12-08-2005, 03:33 PM that is alot of work done to that box you must admit, it is the stock kit but if you start adding it up its alot of money. the supercharger, the brakes upgrade and the rear brakes wilwood only makes the rear ones special order. he could loose the wing on top, that roll cage inside is crazy, 5.1 true surround sound inside the tv's cf parts, that is alot of work. he did overdose on the stickers definitely, i think the stickers make it loose the value alot. if some one bought that with all that work done they should just do the outside over and they are set. after the tax and lojack i put on my box with a couple of add ons i put on the box it was like 18k, before financing. so imagine adding all that stuff to yours and how long it would take and how much, i know you can get an evo for that price, i would :blah:
reybz 12-09-2005, 11:56 PM 60K invested, HA!
THAT 60 PESOS....this car has every thing sponsored the owner of this car works for SEMA and he had everything sponsored then he gave the car to his son. the only investment was buying the car nothing else :rofl:
squirrel 12-10-2005, 12:32 AM The reason why the xB got so much coverage...................because it was built as soon as it was released, before SEMA 2003, and I don't know anyone that would dump at least $45k into a car off the get go.
But if you look back then, in June-Sep 2003, this was prolly one of only a handful of flipped out xBs, at least to the stage it was at.
There were very limited aftermarket parts out at the time.
Imagine what $60k can do now.
Yeah, I agree w/ Mark, stock color, stock body, canards too high, FnF wstyle wing, non-protective "show" cage, non-flowing graphics, yeah................................Overpriced!
squirrel 12-10-2005, 12:35 AM Ok, ok, ok, $5 over low blue book since Status brought up the problems w/ the car.
Sciond 12-10-2005, 02:05 AM Ok, ok, ok, $5 over low blue book since Status brought up the problems w/ the car.
only if you really like it and are generous.....hey look at the difficulty matchbox had selling his
flamedxb 12-11-2005, 04:26 AM http://www.mautofied.com/default.asp?NavX=M2&Results=Detail&PKID=100021819 look at this one its way less money
RockCrawler 12-12-2005, 04:38 AM Might perform well but it looks like ___ IMO
UncivilizedRacer 12-14-2005, 09:22 PM Looks are easy to change and he is willing to take 20 grand for it which it is worth since it is sponcered out the ___.
UncivilizedRacer 12-14-2005, 09:28 PM http://www.mautofied.com/default.asp?NavX=M2&Results=Detail&PKID=100021819 look at this one its way less money
I would hope it is less money with 50 grand in miles and absolutely no engine mods.
bunburiano_chilepicking 12-14-2005, 10:17 PM ".
http://i10.ebayimg.com/04/i/05/86/fc/06_1.JP____ if a put stickers like these on my car probably i be able to add value on my car and sell it for more hhhehehehe j/k lol
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
flamedxb 12-15-2005, 04:19 AM yea ill take less but i never cared bout engine mods ..its a 108 hp it would be ___ to mod that weak engine i bought it for gas mileage
LuminicsBulbs 12-15-2005, 03:37 PM I think they should be happy to get $25,000 for it. People think if they spend a lot of money into the car they are going to get it all back. Yes if done properly you can get some of it back but $35,000 is alot to ask for this vehicle. You can purchase one for $15,000 then have another $20,000 to make it your own.

I'd prolly have over a dozen xBs right now if I had the money.
Sam_J84 12-15-2005, 04:40 PM too many stickers for me
