tromba, I'd get the new one, the difference in payments can't be that great....If you can, look to see if the stereo upgrade is a Scion item... if it is, just order your new one with it.


PS, you got pm

We've been making "payments" to ourselves over the past few years, so with a trade it's a cash purchase, so that part doesn't enter into it.

It definitely is Scion stereo.... with Sirius radio also. I'm leaning towards new, but my wife is leaning towards used. 4,000 miles isn't very many and the Stereo with iPod and sat capability is $709 and the sat radio is another $449 -- nearly a $1200 savings over getting it installed in a new one. Plus this one is that dark red cherry color (forgot the real name) which my wife REALLY likes and that's no longer available as a color.

And of course one is available today (i I wanted) and a new one would take some time.

Well, then it seems that all that is missing is that "New Car Smell"....

I would go new, they are relatively cheap cars. Check out Ebay motors for a xB, good deals.

Not stalking honestly! Scions are Pure Priced which means no dickering. No deals to be had on NEW ones. You might be able to find a good deal on a low mileage used one on Ebay though.
