I know two people selling xB's from NOVA Scion Evolution. Tango is selling her heavily modified one, and Viet Box is selling his daily driver that used to be the PTuning white xB, pretty much stock.

Viet Box's - 10.5k OBO:

Tango's xB - 20-somethingk:

Her craigslist post is down, but it is an insane ride with airbags, body kit, VIP interior, no back seat because of all the amps, monitors, etc if you were looking for extreme and award winning.

I punched the Elkton zip into Washingtonpost.com cars and found 10 gen 1's listed w/in 50 miles of Elkton, $15k and below.

Have fun hunting!

Did you check Carmax? I bought one car from there and sold them two. Seems to be the least hassle and they give good money (compared to a dealer) for you old car. If you get one that has problems (like someone uninstalled mods and crapped it up), you can return it or have them fix it.

My eventual-sister-in-law is trying to get rid of a Caliber too. They're deeply mediocre cars.

I'd sell you my box, but I figure that if anyone randomly offers to buy it, I'll just shout, "$15000, or go to hell!," and leave it at that. I don't want to part with it that desperately.

i found a few we are going to look at this weekend. i found one with a turbo its pearl white with black rims the turbo looks like the greddy kit its 13k

Zombietime

A used turbo xb? Be careful with this one. Beat to hell comes to my mind.

fat-boy

i thought the same thing so i think we are going to pass on it

Skuff_Box

bearing could be bad in the turbo too

Good luck in your search. I'd stick with something close to stock so you don't pay for someone elses choice in mods.
Auto trader will be the best way to find the exact color and xB you want.
