Good luck. Whatever you get, hopefully you will be happy. It's better to get a car that you don't particularly love, rather than no car at all. But hopefully things work out where all parties involved come out happy.

 

ya, and keep in mind, most of the used xB's i've seen are selling for MORE than sticker, so the best value is still to buy new. You could either do a road trip, or have a dealer order you one. The only way I could think of an xB selling for under 10 is if it were titled 'SALVAGE'. You have to look really close, becasuse when ppl sell these types of cars, they repair them first, so that they look roadworthy. AFAIK, most states will NEVER title them, however.

road trip? Here in denver, there are at least two stealerships that have several xBx on the ground. One of them has a solar yellow, and one of them has 9 boxes.

 

[quote anybody have ne suggestions???????/[/quote]

I found mine on e-bay and had to do a road trip.

 

Used xB's are relatively rare, especially in areas where they aren't sold in great numbers (me stating the obvious, duh). Their rarity will boost the price.

Toyotas hold their value very well, and Scions seem to be following that tradition. Given that the oldest Scions are only 3 years old (and most are newer than that), you will be hard pressed to find one that's a lot cheaper than a new one, unless it's high mileage or has something wrong with it.

On the other hand, new ones are an unusual value for all of the above reasons. Plus, when the current design is retired, their scarcity will likely inflate their resale value (assuming you keep it in good shape).

Scrape up the $5k somehow and buy a new one. Four years from now, if you want to sell it, it'll be worth a lot. Spend $10k on a used Chevy instead and in four years you'll have beans.

You definitely need to use the security and safety features to your advantage.
I don't recall each one but when a salesman was telling me about what
safety features and security features it had it was definitely a selling point.

 

Now, lissen here, son, and lissen up real good. This here site is all family-orientated and such, and we ain gon have no talk a no 'masterdabatin' goin on here. No sir.

Folks just aint gonna stand fer it.

 

ok heres the current situation..... after talking to my dad and going on some websites that you guys listed, we found one bout 400 miles away in a different state in which we are in contact with the dealer. My dad has a car dealer friend about 100 miles away from that one that we found, so he is also talking to the dealer to see what we can do about it. I'll for sure keep an update about it... Thanks for all the help!

 

That is SOME dad you got there - you know that, right???

 

That's awesome man. If you're 400 miles away from a dealer, you obviously are not near me, but if you want some help traking something down or have a question on the process, call me at the number listed below or e-mail me at sclifford@kjscion.com

 

Man Brucker3, that is seriously awesome. My car for college was only $500 and a newspaper. Cherish the moment.

 

alright sounds great cliffy, thanks alot all

 

update?

 

Also remember that if scion stops making the xb this year, then the one you want may be hard to come by. This was the excuse i used in july 05 to get mine.

But there is a price some cars like nissan 350 z depriciate very little. My neighbors has depreciated somewhere around 200$ But on www.KBB.com My xb for a private party sale was only worth 11,000 and trade in low 10,000$ with only 10,000 miles, so the scion does depreciate quickly.

Also hit up your parents on saftey I was in one when it hit a parked excursion at 45 mph and did 9,000$ in damage to the xb whoch was totaled. The three of us in the car got out and ended up having to run a mile to get home and call a tow truck. Luckily not my car
Im not sure what the impala is rated at but ive personally tested the passenger side of the xb in a frontal crash and it is a very safe car.

Good luck with the future purchase.
