i just purchased a 2005 scion xb, yesterday with 37,xxx miles from the dealership. No owners manual and no idea how to find ____ in it lol.. but how do i tell the difference between a 1st gen and 2nd gen xb? I have no idea and I wanna know what I have.

thanks dudes

milanshere

one looks like a box.
the other looks like a boxy marshmallow.

i wanted the 05 really bad and they sold the one i wanted, so i shot for the xa instead and to my surprise they had saved me a xb they got in a day earlier wahoooo.

Welcome! Congrats on the new xB........

05 is the best year! (only because I have one too). Bought mine brand new and it's been the best car i've ever had. Cheap to run, fun to drive and with unique looks to boot. Enjoy it!

Welcome to the Box family! Enjoy it cause we all do...
Btw, I too have an '05, which I bought in Feb of '05.

Why not go and have the dealership replace the owners manual? That's strange that they would sell such a new vehicle and not supply one. It can't hurt to ask. Otherwise ebay would be a great place to pick one up.
Enjoy your xB. Yours is what we refer to as a Real xB. The newer thing Scion stuck an xB emblem on is referred to on here as an xB2. Totally different vehicle that wishes it was a box and a toaster. Some of us refer to it as a loaf.

Well my car is an 05 I just bought it used from the toyota dealership as a certified vehicle. So idk they said they'd look around for one for me.

Look around nothing. Make sure they order you a new one if they can't "find" one. It comes in a nice fancy zip up padded cover and has all sorts of neat stuff in it. They should have charged the person that they got the car from for it. No reason for it to ever be seperated from the xB. Good luck and congrats!

Check out the factory service manual in my signature. It has some good stuff in it too.

yeah i know. im ____ed off they said i didnt need it

Let me guess.... You bought it from Mc Inerney Toyota? I haven't heard much good stuff from others that bought there. Most of my Scion friends there got their xBs from Hugh over at Subrurban Toyota Scion. You will have to be firm with them or they will just blow you off.
