Default I think I found my new xB

Took the wife window shopping this morning, I like going in on sunday mornings when they are closed so you can look all you want. She said "That is the color!" Automatic, and that is all. Just what I want. I guess it is time to clean up the old van and see what they have to say.

Odds are that's somebody else's new xB. But that's OK, you can still order one!

Salsa Red, great color.

In many states auto dealers are forbidden by law from doing business on Sundays. It's a holdover of the "blue laws" which once required all retailing to shut down on Sundays in many of those states.

Is that Bob Tyler Toyota in Pensacola? If so, tell Mike Kimbrough that Troy Snyder from Ft Walton Beach sent you. He'll take care of you. I just bought a Blue xB in June. Nice folks to deal with.

No it's Arlington Toyota Scion in Jacksonville.
The dealers are closed on sunday, but I like to just browse on sunday. I have a salesman already, he is very easy going, not pushy.

My salesman was incredibly pushy. Even after I told him I was going to buy the car and was just waiting on an answer from the credit union. He called at least once a day. Ugh!

Blue law in effect here.

Good luck with the purchase!

my salesman was so unpushy he diddnt even want to sell me a car. he was the biggest jerk of a salesman i have ever encountered. it would have been the easyist money he made all day. i diddnt even need a loan i paid for the thing in full. anyways he was a dick to me and my mother. i would never send anyone his way. we had to request another salesman.

The salesman who originaly helped me, was great. I don't know if it was my advanced age (57) or if he was just a good salesman. I had a bad salesman once, they were really playing around with my trade in. At that time it was a 1995 Buick Regal that I was trading in for a van.
They were trying to get the car for basicly nothing, so I just picked up the keys and walked out. The salesman followed me all the way to the car stuttering and stammering. The dealership called me the next day, and I unloaded on them and told them what I thought. I was asked to come back in, and I got a really great trade in allowence.
