Just joined...thinking about buying an xB
Just had my vehicle totaled and I've been seriously considering getting an xB. Seems like it would fit what I need pretty well. There is just such a HUGE difference in the prices of used xBs around here it's crazy. Anyway....going to do a little more research (this site is great for that by the way!) and hopefully I'll be around here more often!

At this point, you might want to look into a new one. You're really not saving too much (in some cases, used sell for more than new) and you're also inheriting the previous owners problems/wear and tear.
Either way, you'd be most likely be happy with one.

This '05 has just over 25k miles on it ....they are asking $10,499....may go take a look at it. How does that sound as far as price? typical? I'm not a fan of the vinyl..but it could come off.

Only problem with vinyl on a used car in Fl would be the paint fading everywhere except underneath the vinyl. Other than it being a stick seems like a great deal.

That looks like a fair price. It appears to have an upgraded exhause, but is not lowered. The prices MAY come down a little when the new xB comes out in another month or so, but perhaps you can not wait. Good Luck..........

I just ran across this one as well............I'm really liking the blue better (first choice would be black). It has a few more options than the other one I looked at though. What I'm trying to find info on though is the paint. The roof and rear wing are white...was this factory or more than likely painted by previous owner? Thanks for all the help and info!!

That looks like a factory wing, you can order them in any of the colors pre-painted. Maybe they got it second hand (used}...I like the wheels 
. This is the thing with the xB, it is all a matter of taste and how much of your paycheck you are willing to invest. Also how much modding you are willing to do yourself? If you like to tinker with your cars, go as Bare Boned as you can find, it will more often be the cheapest.
