Hi! I live in Norway, which is in nortern europe. Going to florida in september, and I'm gonna buy me a xB there! I'll be the first in Norway with this car.
Thinking of buying a used car, any thing I need to look out for? Anything that break apart? This is my current car, which is up for sale:

The used ones will not cost you much less than a new one.

Welcome to the forum Buddy...how did you hear about ScionLife? Just curious?

Also, what makes you sell that nice car and get the XB? Not that the xb is nice but that is one sweet looking ride...

Welcome aboard, bro! I have some relatives in Norway. Yes, I would agree that you are better off buying a new xB. Looks like you won't have any problems making yours look unique...

wide tires, low front, drift spoiler..yeah it could be for drifting. also, how could i tell if it had quattro still running or air suspension? for all i know it could be coil overs.

i see 15 pages of pictures of yours, didnt catch one of you with it. usually when people have nice cars, they stand next to it for pictures.

i also see no engine shots, just a trunk shot with 3 gigantic subs and a bottle.

could be yours, sure, also could not be. just a little sceptical.

i've been on various forums for a few years now, i've seen a lot of people with "fake cars"

First welcome to the forums! Second of all, your current car looks great! Norway huh? How is it there? Norway is one of the places i want to travel too so if you have any tips for when i go, share.

How much are you selling the audi anyway? Take it easy, and again, welcome.

I found Scionlife in "modified mag" and also heard about it through houston-imports forum.

I've had my A4 since january 2004, and what I enjoy is to build cars. And a xB would be something totally different. there are no scion's in Norway

Well... Norway is OK I guess. Not much crime and such. Free healtcare, high taxes.

I guess if you want to see some uniqe nature, this is the place to go...I'm not really a natureguy But I really enjoy living here, but I could get used to the american lifestyle! I've been to the US 3 years in a row, and I really like it there. Going 2 times this year.

My Audi is selling for $42k. Seems a lot, but car prices are way higher here.

ex. A $16k xB, would cost another $15k before it's roadlegal over here
