Default 2 years free maintenance with new purchase
I thought this was interesting... Two years of free maintenance is included on all new scion purchases!

Toyota is getting desperate to sell their over priced vehicles. Luckily the xb2 is still decently priced and having that is a bonus.

Over priced vehicles? Have you shopped around for a different brand?

ps This doesn't belong here.

I could care less about these kinds of promotions, I didn't even use my two free oil changes.

I was thinking, this may not be such the value that it appears. Up to 25K, there's only 5 oil changes, right? If the going rate is $40 (or less), per oil change (like at a jiffy lube), that means you're only saving ~ $200 over two years.

Not really a big deal....

By the way, doesn't 5K oil change intervals seem longish?

I thought Toyota extended the oil change intervals to 10k now that 0w-20 is the recommended oil weight? I know for sure the Camry was...

And the more expensive 15,000 mile service. But they did not include the Big 30,000 mile service. BTW I haven't seen a decent jiffy lube in my area in 5 years.

How much does the 15K and 30K maintenance usually run (about -- it probably differs from dealership to dealership)?

I used the first oil change and regretted it immediately -- never again!

What did they do?

I was thinking about using synthetic too.... so the free oil changes wouldn't really do anything for me in that case.
