BS!!
KBB is a joke its only a starting price look what others are going for on craigs list that are comparable and price your lower. plus put it stock modded cars are woth less to the general public

It's Canada, the land where cars cost 9x what they should.

Congrats on the sale - and $6800 on a box is a great deal! I'm still looking for my XB - was in talks with that chick for hers but with the price she wanted ( $10 000 ) plus there was damage on the side and it turns out she has a lien on the car as well!
No thanks! ugh
Lots of white or black ones up on Craiglist - but I'm looking for a 2006 - silver - automatic xb. If anyone has any leads lemme know!

Yeah, after talking with guys on here, I would say that 10k is not within market value. But I will tell you this, it is a buyers market right now so get one soon if you can.
Was the one you were looking at in White Rock by any chance?
