I wouldnt hold your breath... and lets not forget..if your goal is to save money, buy new. cause the used ones are no longer pure priced and are about the same price or more

I've actually seen this before. Went to carmax once and saw a used xA that was only $300 less than a new one. My only guess is that they must not know about scion's pure price policy.

^ same with gen 1 xB's. I remember in 2005 when I wanted an xB, used ones were going for about 13-15k. I bought mine brand new - 1 mile on the odometer - for $16,700 after taxes. i paid exactly what the website said and tax on top of that. i remember the only option i got on the car was an automatic tranny! lolol

the arm rest, floor mats, rear cargo net i got from a website online, I saved like 40% easily.

if you are set on buying used for whatever reason, i would get a list of the 5 or 10 scion dealers closest to you and would call them maybe once every week or two to ask if they have one in stock.

you can do that or you can use autotrader.com to find your used car. you can filter by color, transmission type, new or used, etc.

those two options are your best bet.

I wouldn't check just Scion dealers really. They could be at a Subaru dealer after being traded in for a new WRX STI hatchback

They normally use public transportation and that their public transportation works very very well! Plus you can practically walk to the places you need to go. Here in the states if you don't live in a big city, or a well planned/operated city, you basically need a car to get to the grocery store. It sucks but yea, we don't have it as bad as other countries.
