1) go to scion.com

2) punch in your zipcode to find dealers around you

3) call each dealer to see if they have one in stock.



* you can try putting in a diff zip code - maybe a zip a few towns away from you to get a list with other dealers.

Autotrader.com bro. Just do a NEW car search, but set the year 2006 to 2006 and search for the xB. Found 60 of them on there.

Just been through the same search. I managed to find a new one in North Dakota, but spent several hours on the phone and online tracking it down. (I was looking for a manual transmission though, so perhaps an auto may be easier to find?)

Autotrader and cars.com are good places to start, but I found that most of the vehicles on there were already sold. I was looking for both new and very low mileage vehicles from dealers, so I had a lot of listings to call. (Maybe 1 in 10 was still available).

Eventually I found mine on "vast.com", they have a quirky auto search engine that crawls through dealer pages and other online resources (including autotrader and cars.com).

Also, I think that almost all of the remaining 06's will be the Torched Penny RS4.0's, which retail for $16,000+, new.

If you are ok with one of the RS4.0s, then do a search for the following colors/keywords: "brown","copper","golden","bronze", "penny","multicolored", and "mazora". Almost every dealer describes the color as something different.

autotrader.com did not work to well for me!

it showed 12 2006 xB's at a local dealer and when i called, the Scion guy said they had been gone a long time.

according to lastxb.com, there are now 70 left - going fast!!

I just bought an 06' auto last friday. The dealership said they had like 5 more AT only, but they had some cosmetic damage that they will fix if someone really wants to buy one

Maybe they're all out in california though

since the car is so cheap, if i were in the shoes now to buy an 06 xB, i'd find one in the nearest neighboring state (up to like 400 mi radius) and drive it back home ;]]]

Sorry if this sounds like a noob question but why an 06 and not a 05 or 07? Is there something special about the 06?
