| Posted: 8/17/08 6:17AM Post subject: Sold the 08 xB |
|
|
Traded it in for a new 2008.5 Mazdaspeed 3.
With that said, I have the factory wheels and tires (with TPS) used for 250 miles up for sale. Also going to try and sell the factory radio, shift knob, and air intake system.
If anyone has needs for these parts let me know. |

I went from a 2005 regular 3 to the 08 xB. I came close to buying a 2007 Speed3 before I went with the xB.
In the end I just could not get past the premium gas requirement and thank-you-sir-may-I-have-another potential for tickets despite the obvious fun factor. |

I traded it in because I could not handle the lack of speed anymore. I loved the look of the xB and the interior room, but I drive 30 miles each way to work, and I wanted to enjoy the drive (that includes the speed). Plus I always wanted another turbo car, and with the gas prices dropping again I could justify getting one.
To clarify: I am referring to the stock intake system.
The radio is the base.
Do you really want e to take pics of the wheels? I mean, they are just the stockers, and they literally have about 0.5% treadware. |

I was about to say turbo the xB but then I saw you were in Cali. Boggles my mind that Apexi, Greddy, Strup, etc. are all based in SoCal but none of the stuff they make is legal to drive there.
Have fun with the CARB-legal turbo. |

You said it bruddaman! Finally a car that I can just leave alone (except I just ordered a turbo timer, and a new Bypass Valve seeing as the stock one leaks like crazy).
Yes the wheels are the stock steelies with the tire pressure monitors still intact. |

I ended up putting 6000 down and am paying 400 a month.
I only lost 1000 on the xB plus the rims, so about 2000 in the end. Not too bad for almost a year of driving. |

i know, with this $3.54/gallon gas, it's like they're giving it away for free! |
