Took the time to go down to the dealership today, power scion of irvine, and put down a deposit for a '05 Polar White xB with manual trans, foglamps and spoiler.

The sales guy said 4-6 weeks but how long does it usually take?

Short review:
I test drove an automatic and here are some things I noticed.
1) Exhaust is definately noticable and much louder than I thought.
2)Not as slow as I thought even though it is dirt slow.
3)The backseats provide plenty of room for the passengers.
4)Trunk is awfully small
5)Good value overall for this box

 

Congrats on the new ride!

 

In a couple of weeks, I should have my BCP xB also...

 

it takes about that much time unless another dealer has 1 like the 1 u want..

 

i was wondering the same thing too.. i'm about to go order my black sand pearl next week. i can't wait..

 

my god...I have never heard of it taking that long...my buddy is ordering his this week and they told him 2-3 days tops. I got mine in 4 days in that was a year ago when they first came out here!

 

nice choice in color!!! you will be happy with it!!!

 

I've always wanted a white car and I've had nothing but black and yellow cars thus far.

Can't wait!

 

Seems like there are less of the manual available. Knowing their target purchasers, younger people, manual should have been more available. We got an automatic, because it was all they had, and it was almost a toss-up for me, so I got the auto. Saves the arms from shifting, but you can't get above 1k rpm coming off from a light. I would imagine that the difference between the speed for both cars is almost totally the time it takes the auto to get to around 3k where you can feel all the horses start to work. Am happy with the auto, and it is getting more to my liking as I add my mods, so wouldn't want it any other way now. Have fun with it when it arrvies.

 

Congrats, I've had my 05' Polar White Xb since June of last year and have been loving it since!! Enjoy - BTW, I'm local in Irvine so I'm sure I'll see ya around!

 

Nice, for sure I will see you around.

They only had 2 blue automatics on the lot so I was definately not in luck. If they had a white manual I would have picked it up right there without thinking.

 

PW rocks, gotta keep it clean though. hopefully your dealer can do a trade with another local dealer and get you one quicker, but even if they can't 4 weeks wil probably be the longest.

Welcome to the fam

 

nice man i just got my 05 polar white last january...maybe see you around man

 

Congrats and enjoy ur box!

 

Congrats!! I took 2 weeks to get mine!

 

I really can't wait. Everyday is one day closer to getting my car.

 

05 polar white here too,,,welcome

 

Man everyone is getin a scion, are these new cars or something? :D Congrats on the buy and hope to see some pics of you and the new ride soon.

 

at crown toyota in ontario i got the guy to order 3 colors for me to choose from..(manual) bsp,bcp,cm. but unfortunately the wait was too long so i got a call from glendora and bought my bsp there. the cars from crown should be arriving in about 2 weeks or so.. so whoever is looking for one they will definitely have it in less than 4 weeks.

congrats on your new car.

 

I just walked in, signed some docs. Then drove away with my 2005 white xB.
