new scion xb
So I'm in the market for a Scion XB. Actually I was already in the process of buying one before it all fell through with the horrible dealership that I had originally delt with. Not only did they treat me like a child and like a woman that didnt know what she wanted, they told it wasn't "earth shattering" if I don't have my car for 2 weeks!!! So needless to say i choose not to give my business with this dealership and im on the great hunt for another. It seems that Crystal Automall in Greenbrook is very friendly and help from what i'm reading online. If anyone can give me feedback about this dealership and the car itself that would be awesome! I love the room this car had and I thought it was fun to drive. I just want feedback on what people think of the cars and the service.....

I waited 4 months for my manual-transmission xB because I wanted it to have no miles. It came two weeks ago with 1 mile showing. Regardless of how cheap it is to buy, it is the neatest, most fun to drive, roomy for the size, practical and ecomonical car I have had in almost 50 years of driving. The quality and performance are everything that I expected. And I have had BMWs, Rabbits, and Toyotas, as well as big cars. I put 1000 miles of spirited break-in driving on the xB, during which it got 33 mpg. Then I wanted to see the maximum mpg I could get, so I drove very easy for a tank, and it got 40 mpg.

i just recently got my 2005 xb used, it had 10k miles on it and i love it. i cant believe they handle so well. i thought that it would be top heavy by the looks but not even close to the real thing. it corners better than my moms malibu. as getting 40 mpg hahaha, i can bearly get it to get 29 cause of my lead foot. i cant wait to get the cold air intake and turbo on it. trust me when i say your going to love this car. theres just so much you can do to trick and modify it out. i just wish i had the $$$$ to do all the things i want to do.

Buy from Peruzzi. We're awesome! J/K Its important when you find a dealership for Scion that you like it. More than likely you will spend some time there because you will love your Scion so much you'll wanna service it all the time and make sure its getting the attention it needs. Ive never heard anything about the dealer youre working with but if htey have a good rating here then thats good enough for me to believe in them. Good luck with everything and if you should have any more questions feel free to call me or hit me with a PM. Scion is my life!

Where are you located, littlekate? If you're looking in Jersey, Crystal Scion is decent. There's also Dayton Scion in South Brunswick, and DCH Brunswick Scion in North Brunswick. If you need help looking, and you're in my area, just let me know. I'm in New Brunswick.

What dealer are you working with in PA. Obviously Im going to guess it wasnt mine even though it could be. Let me know who it is and I will set you up with the best salesperson there. I know somebody at almost every dealer on the eastern side of PA...
