I just got a 2005 xb!!
I've been reading on the forums for some time now and I just now got my xb. It's polar white and is a 2005. I didn't even know it was 05 till I was signing papers. Then I noticed it says mp3 on my stereo and I think that's an 05 thing? Now the modding can begin!

Dealer told me '05 is the same as '04, $30 more for delivery charge to get in line with other Toyota cars. Major difference IMO is higher resale value down the road of course due to "age". Too bad Scion doesn't have as many incentives (based on fixed price?) to counter that.

Dang, people spending $15K on a car and they aren't even sure what model year they are buying? I have this prime bottomland in Florida I'd like to sell you!
The tenth digit of the VIN gives the model year, 4 for 2004, 5 for 2005.

I will pay you 100 dollars for you to come to my house and change the greeting on my 04 head unit.
If you can't however, you will pay me 50.
Deal?
