have read the standard features on Edmunds, but want to know a couple of things. Is keyless entry standard for the xB? I doubt if floor mats are standard, but did anyone get them tossed in for free. Is the upgraded security system worth getting or is Lojack a better avenue or nothing at all? Did anyone get a deal on tint through their Scion dealer or did anyone get tinting for free?   Keyless Entry is free. Floor mats are not. Make sure you also get the cargo mat. No security on mine. The xB is tinted like a minivan meaning the back windows are more tinted than the front ones from the factory.   Finally, I have a '98 A4 that I want to trade in. It is in excellent shape with low mile except for a short in the gauge cliuster ($1K to fix according to the Audi dealership) and a cracked gas tank ($2K to replace). I've never traded a car in....is it better to sell to a private party as is or to sell to a dealership and are the dealerships anal when giving you a trade in value? Thank you   If you need $3000 worth of work, it may be more beneficial to trade it in. You just have to do your HW and compute what its worth with repairs, without repairs, and what the dealership will give you for it. Choose what is better for you. However, its going to be hard to sell it private with a cracked gas tank. Replies to this message: nacho (Sep 28, 2005 11:01 am)

Replying to: tundradude (Sep 27, 2005 4:14 pm) Thanks tundradude-   I appreciate your feedback. I am interested in the tC, xB and '06 Civic Coupe and am doing my homework. Yeah-who'd have believed that their gas tank would crack. I have never heard of a plastic one cracking...bad luck I guess, but no more European cars-EVER!!
#137 of 345 free mats by mnikos Sep 28, 2005 (11:22 pm)
I bought my 2006 xB at the beginning of August; the dealer included mats, including the cargo mat. I only paid extra for the upgrade Pioneer radio that accepts iPod (about $225 extra, but definitely worth it).
#138 of 345 how are the scions priced? by svec7186 Sep 30, 2005 (6:40 am)
is the window sticker the final price like on saturns or can one haggle like on toyotas. kbb.com shows msrp and invoice for scions. if the cars are only sold at msrp, whats the point of knowing the invoice price?   thanks Replies to this message: mourf (Oct 01, 2005 6:52 am)

Replying to: svec7186 (Sep 30, 2005 6:40 am) In North Texas the sticker price is the price you pay. Of course, here there are no cars on any lots. You order it all and you pay the price listed. Period. I've been given wait times from 3-10 weeks. I found a dealer who said they could get it to me in 3-4 so thats who I went with.   For $18,075 (No TTL) I orderd a black automatic and have the following addons: fog lights rear spoiler rear bumper appplique stainless steel exhaust tip cruise control alarm system floort/cargo mats armrest blue LED internal lights 8' Bazoka subwoofer Upgraded Pioneer 6CD/iPod Compatible Stereo

Replying to: mnikos (Aug 03, 2005 11:19 pm) i am going to go buy an xb in the next two weeks. i too was thinking of purchasing from Toyota of the desert. does anyone know if they are friendly, what is their dimeanor in regards to pricing and do they throw in anything to make you happy about spending your money with them. i'm hoping to get a good deal since i will be paying with cash. if anyone has any info about an xb purchase from them please let me know.... thanks Replies to this message: mnikos (Oct 01, 2005 10:37 pm) jimw0238 (Oct 02, 2005 11:59 pm)

Replying to: jimw0238 (Oct 01, 2005 2:30 pm) Mine came with floor mats and cargo mat; I think maybe they include those for everyone. Toyota of the Desert was good to buy from, I'd go back. I don't know how I-10 Toyota is, they might be good too. I financed mine, but the impression I've gotten is the Scion pricing is truly firm regardless of financing terms. They do a 2-week thing where you set up to finance it through them but they don't submit the loan for two weeks; if you find other financing, they void the loan. They actually called me after two weeks to confirm I wanted them to proceed. It gives you an opportunity to be an 'impulse buyer' for the car and then shop for financing later.

Replying to: mnikos (Oct 01, 2005 10:37 pm) that's good to know...... i am not considering I-10 toyota due to the fact that their lot is so tiny. i have been at Toyota of desert before (their lot is huge), i bought a toyota there in 1991. however i seem to be having trouble getting them to respond to my emails. i'm suppose to go and buy in about 9 days, it will be the first (and possibly the last) time that i can pay in cash. i hope they have some dark blue ones with auto and i'll have to spring for a armrest too. by the way, Americas Tire co has some really nice alloy wheels for $80 each= $320+tax. way cheaper than scions alloys which are $665! thanks, any further info would be appreciated. oh, and there's several distributors on ebay who have billet grilles for $70 (shipping included) i think i'll order one!

I have one of those dark blue ones. Its pretty when its clean, but it scratches easily. Replies to this message: jimw0238 (Oct 03, 2005 6:32 pm)
