i ordered that custom grille like two days ago and it came UPS today, it is VERY nice!
well worth every penny. also ordered a custom velour dash cover last night for $43.70 shipping included. now i just need to go get the xb middle of next week (just waiting for my deposit to clear the bank). i'll buy it, then off to tire shop for those cool wheels for $80 each (silver alloys by Konig), then home to apply new grille and dash cover. within one day it will already look a lot different and custom
within a week of that i will order the bumper mat, armrest, and pick up a windshield tint strip for Pep boys.
p.s. there appears to only be like two very accessible mounting tabs on top of grille which makes it simple to install (no mods needed) even comes with the hardware!

i got an email today from an ebay member who had bought one of those chrome bezel rings for the xb speedometer. he says that it really looks good and quality is fine but he thought that it wasn't worth $50......
that was my concern.
just thought you might like to know.........

bought my new 2006 xb tonight at toyota of the desert. it was the only one they had on the lot. all dealers in my area were sold out. i got real lucky!
got a silver one with auto, remote locks,side spoilers, and xb carpet mats.
it had just come off the truck and was still waiting for them to put on the rear bumper and stereo. it only had two miles on it...........
i drove it, looked at it, then bought it on the spot!
$15,300 before tax and license.
sales guy made it a very smooth transaction.
they have to finish it and will deliver it to me tomorrow so they gave a camry as a loaner for the night.
THANKS TOYOTA OF THE DESERT!!!!

My Scion buying experience (Chicago Area) by tomb3

I "ordered" my Scion Xb about 4 weeks ago (Continental Scion, Countryside, Illinois). I ordered a few options worth about 1.5K.
 
I knew about the "no haggle" price... but yesterday I asked the dealer if they could at least do first 3-4 oil changes for free (I know it's important to use the right oil especially when the car is new). They said "no" -- so I didn't buy the car.
 
It seems I wasted 4 weeks for nothing... I think I"m going to go to another dealer tomorrow.
 
Is it normal that the dealer doesn't give you anything "for free"? Maybe someone could recommend a better dealer in the Chicago area? Thanks,
 
tom

Why would you let 3-4 oil changes keep you from buying a $15,000 car? Why would they give you something for free when they have somebody right behind you that will be happy to buy it? IIRC, even selling it for MSRP they make about $700.
 
Don't sweat the small stuff.

With the '05s the first three oil changes were free as a part of the 'no haggle'.
That said, though I've not ordered a new vehicle, I would have thought the negotiating would have taken place BEFORE the order was placed.
As the other poster said, these cars have a very short 'on lot stay' - so you were left with little or no leverage.

Give me a break.
You are the one who decided to "Waste" 4 weeks over an issue that does not exist.
 
Want to hear something funny? The Coupons for your 3 free oil changes are in the owners manual. All Scions come with them.
 
Even if you had to buy them, which you didn't, what would they have been, $75?
 
You really walked away over that?
