hey, I am considering either buying a tc or an xb,

I will be buying used as to save on insurance,

I will be putting 3,000 down in cash and my bank will give me a loan for the rest,

I am assuming an xb has the best value for the money of all three,

I would only buy the tc if I really needed to be a showoff,

but still think the xb is more worth the value?,

but in 4 months time would there still be any scion's left?.. I live in central jersey,
and hear they are becoming very sparse.. and I don't know any one in my area that is even considering to sell one.. I searched every where, even on autobytell and autotrader.. would any one here be considering selling their xb/tc around that time..
and would I be able to get a car that some one is trading in to a dealer? is that possible?.. my credit is fantastic and I have a good paying job.

 

and one more question:

would I be able to get a used 06' by then?
or do you think an 05' is a good humble choice?

I don't care much about flashiness, but I want affordability and value
and a comfortable ride.

 

For affordability and value, I've never seen anything that can top the xB. You won't have any trouble finding one from what I've seen. Especially if you aren't dead set on one particular color.

You might think about getting a new one though. They hold their value so well that a used one isn't really that great a deal. You're talking about paying maybe $12,500 versus $14,500 for a brand new one with almost 0 miles, a full warranty and YOU get to break it in, instead of buying a car where you have no idea how it's been treated. Plus it will be worth more at trade-in time because it will be newer and it will be a one owner car.

 

much thanks
