Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and Scion community.

I just purchased my first car, a Scion XB 2008 in Super White a couple days ago. I believe it's the first one sold in South Bay, San Diego, CA. =)

I got it pretty basic but maybe some mods in the future. We'll see. =)

 

I just bought a Super White Manual trans today at Longo. It's so nice. I feel like I'm in a luxury car. There is so much power and it's so roomy inside.

Mine's bare bones too but I'd like to add stuff down the line, like springs, rims, and nav.

Congratulations!

 

Congrats on the new B

 

Nice color! I'm still waiting for my super white..

 

Congratulations to both of you.


Sam

 

Congrats to you too!

Yes I know. I love the inside. At first I was looking for a 2006 xb but the dealership only had 1 which was modified to its limits. Luckily when we arrived, there was a new xb fresh off the truck and I fell in love the moment I drove it. =)

 

Just bought mine on Sat....Guy in front of me got there first.....I'll have to wait until this week-end.....I HOPE Hypnotic Teal....Got 13,600 for 2003 Rav..

 

I will say that the inside and the drive experience is SO different than the 06.

Mine comes this week. Counting down . . . .

 

Congrats, on your new XB! I plan on buying a super white also, do you mind if I ask you how much paid out the door? (total price, incl taxes, everything) Rich

 

Just got ours on Friday. The dealer says he thinks we were only the 4th people in Houston to purchase one, I know we are definetly the first people in my town.

 

17,180......Got 13,500 for trade-in......Got 120 more off......Added to trade-in......So I paid 4,000 cash for new car Gonna miss my Rav! If not in on Sat.....May back out and wait for XD...MPG almost same as Rav.......Tax on 4,000..

 

how do you like driving the new xb so far? I haven't decided if I like it or not...

 

Only had test drive.......They promised car for Sat.......I find it hard to believe that 1 dealer-ship would get 2 Teals....

 

I don't know what Scion is doing, but the four Toyota/Scion dealerships closest to me have the follow stock of 08 xBs:

Dealership 1: Two blackberrry crush
Dealership 2: Two nautical blue
Dealership 3: Three super white
Dealership 4: Two hypnotic teal

I wanted a xB in black sand pearl so I have to wait until the dealership I went to can get one in.

 

I love driving mine.

 

x2 It is awesome

 

I bought a Black Sand Pearl last Wednesday for $17.1K and after tax and licence it was $18.8. At the first fill-up yesterday I got about 28 MPG (279 miles with 9.7 gallons) but I've been driving gently for the engine break in.

 

from what I have been told by my dealership, he told us not to gently break in our new 08 xB. You should drive it like you would normally, the computers in these cars are learning computers (cant remember what they are actually called at the moment), but to get the best performance you dont want to start them out gently, just drive normal.

 

28 MPG is pretty good...i was expecting it to get less

 

x3 I love it too...
