How many miles/how long do you think an 04 xB will last?

Cube: yes it is. I spoke to a rep at the NYIAS and he assured me it was.
Im keeping my box till she wont go anymore, then im gonna replace the drivetrain and run her down again,
I love Toyota's. My folks have a 1993 toyota previa, 333,042 miles and now it crapped out. It's been all up and down the eastern seaboard. I loves it.

Rides a bit bumpy...butI don't mind the ride, but of course I'm the one driving...and some new $60.00 shocks can fix it a bit...
So, how much more and longer do you think I can get out of it, or is now a good time to trade in while I can still get a decent amount for the trade in (about 5500-6000 or so dealer trade in according to kbb.com)
Thanks :-D

To the OPs original point... keep the car. It will last you... and no car payment vs car payment... which is better? One of these days (what my mom did) is get a new vehicle and still ahve an extremely old vehicle... and use that vehicle as main transport to get a lower insurance monthly. This way you have one paid off car, lower insurance monthly, and can buy a new car. All in the long run, look in the long run.

The Cube is coming rather soon actually. Everyone who's driven it has one piece of advice... take it on a test drive that encompasses everything. Or as one guy put it, you get the sloppy, awkward handling of an old luxury car, with none of the luxury.

I own an 04' xB. I never had one repair to the car. All of the money I spent was on the aftermarket things that I put in. I just finished exhaust, headers and intake and picked up 5 more mpg's from boxand had it dyno'd at Collingdale Performance in Collingdale PA. He loves to do Scions.
I have 82,000 and plan on more upgrades. With these gas prices do I really need to change? Not me. I'll drive it till it dies.
