Questions regarding Release Series
So I've been looking at First Gen xB's for sale casually while I wait until the Tacoma can be traded in. And it seems to be a decent idea to pick up a Release Series as they're honestly not that much more expensive.
That being said, I want a white xB (preferably) and to my knowledge I haven't seen any official ones posted here (I see Lava, Green and Solar Yellow...). Is there a white Release Series?
The reason I ask, is there is one for sale, but for the life of me it looks like a stock xB from tip to tail. I'd assume the grille at the very least would be different, but it's your typical dock. I can't see the car in person, so I can't look for the inside badge that says what number/number it is.
Does this exist? And if so, what should I be looking for so I don't get hosed potentially.
Thanks in advance!

In 2006, Scion released 2 Release Series in the Final year of the Gen1 xB. The RS 3.0 Envy Green came out Early in the year. Then the RS 4.0 Maziora Torched Penny was released in November 2006.

Yeah, this lady's trying to say her White xB is a Release Series.... with her stock Scion grille and her stock paint and her stock body panels, etc etc etc.
I smelled BS a mile away, but due to the condition (and the exorbitant price she's asking), I was curious, and asked just in case I wasn't doing my research properly.
As usual, seems my research was on point. People suck, what can I say?
