Hello everyone. I'm a proud new owner of an '04 Xb, Pewter, 5 spd. Took me 6 months to find the right one. Just saying hi and will be around from now on. Thanks.

My first car (that I actual owned) is a 2006 Scion xB, Polar White, acquired April 16th 2015. Everyone at work calls it the Brave Little Toaster.

I feel like the guy showing up to the party as everyone is leaving...

Still, I'm pretty excited about my new '06 xB!

I believe it's actually called Black Cherry Pearl. My first xB was that color and detailed correctly, it's drop dead gorgeous. I actually had a guy stop at a gas station where I was filling that car up and ask me who repainted it. When I told him it was all original paint, he told me it simply couldn't be because he had one and it didn't look anything like mine. That got me a new customer.

Default Late to the party.

I just got my first Scion xB. 2006 Release Series 3.0 #731 of 2200. It has a suspension kit, big brake kit, train horns, interior led lighting that cycles to the music, Australian Antelope leather dash, and Ostrich leather overhead.
I have found 17 speakers and a few amps, the system is definitely the loudest I have heard.
They guy I bought it from told me a lie about the vehicle so now I do not know if I can trust anything he told me about it. I am big into the history of my cars, so this was pretty disappointing. He said he took it to shows and won many trophies, he also said this is the Green Envy xB from the Scion United Commercial (easily found on Youtube)
It was backed into at one point and that is when the previous owner painted the front black with the flames.

How about those photos?

I found an '05 xB just like one I used to have 12 years ago.
White w/ 140,000.
I changed the fluids and did some minor upgrades, and the car runs great!

Totally understand how you feel " late to the party" I just purchased my Box in February stock and thus is what I've done so far. Injen short ram intake and STR 17 rims. Next is to drop the car, thinking about getting a header and catback.... excited!

My payments for a 5 year loan is at $280 a month but I expect to have it paid in 3 years.

Oh, and I saved a ton of money on my car insurance by switching to GEICO! (for real, I had Progressive but the Geico's deal was too good to pass up!)

I thank God for the deal I got on my XB!!! SSSWEEEET! Can't wait to start modding!
I forgot about this post I made the first time I got an xB and registered on Scion Life 😅 I'm thankful for my '09 though. It is a better Box, just not a fan of the fuel economy compared to the First Gen but it is what it is.

RIP 01/07/2020 @ 303,380K miles

@ CiRiS, Hi, I am sorry for your car. Please let me know if you consider to fix the car or to sell the parts? I was today to the Local Postal Office (USPS).
After sitting on line and watching all people with face mask, I decided to take a picture with the Scion xB 2004.
Please ignore the long line at the postal office, because I not do a "Photoshop" censored work on this picture. Thank you.



After back bumper damage, the car is still is in good working (driving) conditions.
I guess we need to learn how to avoid accidents caused by drivers intoxicated (so called self medicated).
I will need a rear bumper for replacement.




Scion xB 2004, 167K driving better than most new cars. Require little, or no maintenance. Great shape to be use in any situations, very friendly, even can provide shelter to a large Raccoon family in need.
The wheels had 4 plates to cover the bolts. When I purchased the car as a reposition from Texas, comes with no covers. I use 3 D printer (free to use in my University) to print new design covers.
I need to install them soon.

@Birsan This the first time I ever totalled a car. If I knew better I would've taken a lot of things apart to re-sell as I had done a lot of upgrades and mods to that car. My 05 box, is long gone. I hope you're able to get your rear end fixed. The box was a great all around car. The only thing I didn't like was the the lack of acceleration and power but overall it was a great car for me. My plan was to keep it till the wheels fall off 😅 it was that good!
