Default New Guy w/ questions

Infernal Greetings from SoCal!!

Im buying an '06 xB in the next few weeks....cannot wait!! Already looking for a good pair of 'shoes' by checking out a lot of the pics on this site.

A few questions:

1) Whats is your APR if you got a loan to buy? Dealer financed or somewhere else?

2) Anyone have to order up an xB from the factory? How long was the wait? What color? Standard or auto?

P.S.
I tried using the search feature but everytime I hit the back button it keep making me refresh my page. Sorry if these are commonly asked questions.

I will let out some of my secret info.

First off congrats on looking into a scion. I placed a order for a brand new 06 xB 5spd. The order was placed on 09 Aug, 2005. The car should be in no later then Aug 28. So you can figure out the time. Its currently at port from the last that I have heard. As for color, Im sorry but I will not say that (need to keep some secrets ). I went through a local Credit Union that does buisness with Military. So my loan has a 4.75% APR @ 60 month term.

This is a somewhat common question, just that it does not seem to come up as often as others.

Thanks chucksu....that seems like a great rate for a 5 yr loan. Bes tI could do (so far) is 48 mnths. @5.25%. Might drop it to 36 though.

This is the last hurdle before buying. I want the best rate possible as this is my first new car.

I ordered my xb and it took 2 months to get in. I also financed through Toyota for 48 months @ 5.25%.
