Has the box gone up in value or is it just me?

Helpin my sister look for a car, told her she should get an xB, she kinda turned her nose up at it when I got it but now loves it. Had mine about a year now, it's an 2006.5 had 3100 mi on it and got it for 11,500 last July. So, I started lookin hunting for one for her and was amazed! The cheapest I've seen so far is an '04 with 44k for 12,900!

Just a few examples of how high some places are asking up here.

Interestingly, I got some snail mail from Toyota asking me to trade in my xB for pretty much any car on the lot. One of my co-workers bought a RS3 xB a couple weeks ago after months of trying to get one. They are definently in short supply.

I paid 12,900 for my 04 a little more than a year ago, when it had 19,000 miles on it. Today it has 36,000 miles and KBB sez it is worth 13,200.

I did mine with Kelly Blue Book last year, and this year it is $1000 more than last year.

Holy Moly!

From KBB:

2006 Scion xB Sport Wagon 4D

Blue Book Suggested Retail Value

Condition: Excellent (which Stubby is -- like new)

Value: $16,470



WOW!

I don't know what to think about this. I guess it doesn't really matter, 'cause I plan to drive Stubby until he's a heap of smoldering slag . . . or until I'm ded, whichever comes first . . . .

I hope they're going up. Not because I want to sell them, but just to reinforce that I made a good choice in cars. Sell them? Pfft! I'll keep Jorge & Bonita until I die.

BoxedOUT

It has definitely gone up!

I bought my B this march with 32k miles on it for 12k and KBB has it in excellent condition with 39k miles on it for 14,500!

Sciond

yep up it goes

Metro273

The Xb Classic will ALWAYS be wanted!
I think I would regret the day I decide to sell mine...NEVER!

Big_Bird

Holy ish my RS2 with 53k is worth $14,435, WOW!

Black_Sheep_xB

Yeah.. I think its pretty awesome.. I havnt seen a generally new econo car do that before..
I paid 14700 for my 06 manual new.. KBB is over 16..

Starbuck

Yeah, funny how I couldn't get a single inquiry from anyone anywhere when I was trying to sell one of the lowest mileage RS 2.0 xb's a person could find, in MINT condition, with a KBB of 16.8K!!!!!! Now the people ARE willing to shell out whatever it takes to get one. It's not like I wouldn't have lowered my price a little when a serious buyer came along. Ended up selling it to CARMAX and even THEY sold it for way under KBB value!!! Yeah I AM GDF'n bitter about it. Then I run into a potential buyer..............after I sell it to CARMAX.............and get two letters in the last 6 mos or so from the Toyota dealership wanting to BUY it. What a EFFin' _____!!!! Wrong place, wrong time

Sciond

first 20,000 and mine is gone......

Tomas

Sellout!




J/K

For 20K I'd even consider letting Vanilla go, but I'm just not sure I would.

pooder

No kidding!!

For 20 grand, my Stubby would be for sale!

In fact, ANY of my posessions are for sale . . . if the price is high enough!!

(No, my wife is NOT one of my posessions . . . . )

xBtony

Yeah when I was looking for one the price was going up every week...I even saw a RS 3 With nothing but 18" rims for 19K and it had like 30K miles...OMFG!!! So long story short its not just you.

snowromance

wow i would take $20k as well. I know i could go find another one for $15k and that's the only reason.

Puz06xB

That's awesome, I'd kinda find it hard to part with mine for 20k also even though that would almost double what I paid for it! To hear others say the same says alot about the box

Sciond

LOL I would just go buy another......RS3 here I come....
