Just curious if any of you have had any major problems requiring to spend some $$$!!! I have a long way till I get to 100K miles but I'd like to be prepared in case something happens...

BTW, are there any Boxes with over 100K miles???

Heymikeyyy... I love those rims...I agree tho.. my older car.. 89 Camry.. 130k.. oil change regularly.. well maintained by my uncle.. still alive and kickin'.....

that looks like a brand new car. makes me feel good my $15k was invested in something good.

krispies13 · 03-31-2007, 05:23 PM

Yes you did invest on something good. I've always had my hard set on the xB and after 2 years of saving up I finally got one 3 weeks ago!! And I'll have this car until it's ready to be passed down to my children. 1500 miles till my next oil change!!

i had no idea your car had so many miles man, thats insaneee. looks amazing!

low_down_xb · 04-01-2007, 08:45 PM

what about timing belts, when should they be changed on these cars before they break and cause damage to the head?

firesquare · 04-01-2007, 08:59 PM

good luck changing the belt. it calls in the repair book its a 5 hour job

no their is no timing belt

bB2NER · 04-01-2007, 09:15 PM

I'm curious on how much it runs to have the valves adjusted. I think they need to be done every 40 k or so. Anyone know for sure?

Heymikeyyyy · 04-01-2007, 11:48 PM

^^^ hmm im not too sure about that vave adjustment i dont think u have too lol if so i missed it along time ago!!

and yeah GOOD LUCK ON THAT TIMING BELT cause ____ dont even exist in a scion LOL CHAIN is all im giving out lol

bB2NER · 04-02-2007, 12:14 AM

I read about it in the service manual. I guess it's a recommended service around 40K but if no one is having it done we'll just see how long one can go without having the valves checked/adjusted.
I was starting to worry about having it done cause I'm at 33K. Yeah, I know that is wussy compared to everyone else's miles totals.

firesquare · 04-02-2007, 02:26 AM

never heard of a valve adj.

with the intake being VVT-i that woudlnt be necessary.

i would like to know though.

BMW M motors need valve adj. every 30K or Inspection I or II eservice i know. and they are also Variable valve timing as well

xBster · 04-02-2007, 10:47 AM

HeyMikeyyyy-120,000? wow- still looks good too. Just shows if you take care of your car, mileage doesn't matter.

midtowndesi · 04-02-2007, 02:23 PM

I've always bought american cars and for a change i bought a brand new 06 xb as my first import. I'm never going back to american junk again ;] i also plan on keeping my box for a while because it's fun as hell to drive. after 15 months, i'm up to about 13,600 miles on her with several road trips lined up for this year - maine, new hampshire, back to washington dc, atlantic city, montaulk point (the end of long island) and a couple of other places ;]]]

i am also very happy to know my $16,700 in cash (after taxes, etc) went to an awesome car.

Here is a thread where people talk about getting your valves adjusted. http://www.scionlife.com/forums/view...449092#2449092

I was thinking about this on my walk to work - i can assume that the xb's here with very high milage are in areas where there is a TON of highway / interstate travel. how many people have high miles via stop and go traffic? i live in time square and the miles on my box come from about 70% stop/go driving and the rest from highway miles.

just wondering if people that go through stop n go traffic have had any problems with their boxes.... im only at like ~13k miles so im wondering how others have fare'd.
