Sorry to say all my scion folks out there that I will be trading in my 05 scion xB for a 07 flint mica yaris sedan. I would like to thank all of the people on this website that have helped me mod my car over the past year and a half. I met a lot of cool people with some crazy cars and appreciate all the help.

Now to the business...
I decided to trade it in because of the extended highway driving I will be doing. Driving the box is fun, but bumpy and the car gets blown all over the road. Also the better gas milage of the yaris is also a plus. The yaris has a much better suspension and like all the new toyotas have sound deadend wheel wells and undercairages.

I would also like to share with you guys the trade in value of my box cause i'm sure you're all wondering.
They gave me approximately 13,000 bucks for the car (which i think is decent), and i still had 10K to pay off, so the box acted as a 3,000 dollar down payment on the yaris.

I'm planning on roughly modding my yaris (rims, new headlights, other stuff) eventually, so i'll keep you all posted.

Scioning out and keep modding

 

Congrats on the new ride, you'll love it.

 

Yes congrats. They did give you a decent amount on the trade. Have fun with your yaris.

 

i had 12,700 miles on the box i think the trade in value is comprable to the kelly blue book value.

 

badge it a scion xA and come visit! good luck on the new car! im sure youll love it!

 

Good luck with the Yaris!

 

badge it with the tc....

whats nice about it though is that its the same engine thats in the xb, which means i already know stuff about it and have some parts that will fit it, like my cf engine cover, which will go nice with the flint mica.

i already ordered my new h4 cool blue silverstar headlight bulbs from the UK, cause i guess they're better than the sylvania because they dont color the outside of the bulb like sylvania does.

however, i have decided that i'm not gonna touch the engine in this new car, cause i dont want the car to be any more noisy that it will be from the factory. I want it calm in my car for once!

 

Aww, Poor BOP. but have fun with the Yaris. Just so you know, you don't have to leave, all you have to do is put the thing that says what xB you have in the past rides and put the yaris where the xB was so there's no reason to leave. So you'll stay right??

 

i'm staying here, and joining yarisworld.com, hopefully they'll eventually have a community as large and helpful as scionlife...

 

YAY!!!! so ur getting the Yaris S? Post pics too!!

 

naw, just a regular sedan, that was the only flint mica pic i could find

but it will still be frickin cool, especially in flint mica, i have always been jealous of the tcs for having that color

 

I'm sure they'll some JDM Belta (JDM Yaris Sedan) parts out there soon. Post pics, don't 4get!!

 

anyone know where i can find JDM toyota belta parts, there has to be people in japan modifying their yaris'
let me know if you find stuff, i couldnt find anything

 

I'll keep an eye out on some of the sites I see w/JDM parts.

 

hey how did you trade the xb in? was it all stock? I am curious because I've been wanting to trade mine in too. What kind of condition was it in? any dents, scratches, etc. how many miles? Thanks for the help.

 

The trade in value in our cars is awesome. When my xA got totaled, my insurance company(USAA) paid me 12500 for it. It was 2 years old and 26000 miles on it. ;-)

 

12500 miles on it highly modded, and somewhat messed up (wheels painted wierd orange and painted stuff in trunk)

 

the yaris sedan is the best lookin one there is i don't like the looks of the hatch back

if my car gets totaled thats the car thats gonna replace my xA

heh always have a backup plan

 

a;ready ordered my osram cool blue silverstar headlight bulbs from england, they should be here about the same time the yaris comes into the dealership

 

Don't forget the pics!!!
