Replying to: aatherton (Aug 29, 2006 10:20 am) Did the "Dashboard cover Suede, black Calif Car Cover" lay perfectly flat on the dash and more importantly did it stop all the reflected glare? I have a DashMat Black on my Honda FIT that blocks 100% of the glare but doesn't particularly fit very well. Thanks............... Regards, Bubba

Replying to: bprenderson (Aug 29, 2006 12:31 pm) Since I don't use it all the time, I only stuck the hooked velcro tape in two places around the speedo housing. The hooked tape grabs the back of the dashmat gently. The dashmat lies on the xB dash very well if I take time to place it carefully and leave it there for a day. But most of the time I just slap in on the dash for a few hours and don't care if I don't get it perfect. If I used spots of tape everywhere and left the dashmat in place to settle out, it would lie perfectly. The dash used to get almost too hot to touch in the sun, which increased the load on the AC and made the parked car very hot. The dashmat only gets warm to the touch, which reduces the load on the AC and makes the parked car a lot cooler. |

Hi I am considering buying a new scion xb and trading in my chrysler sebring. I am wondering though, since scion has the whole pure price thing, why would you pick one dealership over another besides distance and availability of the model? Also I am in Phoenix, AZ so if anyone has any positive or negative experiences with dealerships out here please share!

Replying to: mskelly0024 (Nov 18, 2006 5:11 pm) In a no dicker Saturn like situation for the Scion your major determinant would be price otd with all your options with all fees and taxes. The biggie in your case would be the trade allowance offered. Although they have little flexibility on the raw sticker, the options and fees they have more leeway on as well of course, the trade. --jjf |

Replying to: dwynne (Nov 20, 2006 8:30 am) At the $900 dealer, some of the fees did not become apparent until the purchase order was drawn up for me to sign. There were pre-printed lines on it like Special Benefits Package and Saleperson, and the dealer had filled in $600 for one and $200 for the other, which were nothing but fees. I didn't buy from that dealer.

I purchased a 2005 Scion XB automatic from Carmax for 15,500.00. (By the way I LOVE CARMAX, best way to buy a used car in my opinion) Afterwards I went to the Scion dealership down the street and realized I could have got a brand new 2006 for the same amount. However, my Scion came with alloy wheels, rear spoiler, and euro style tail lights, so I probably still saved money. The only feature I think I really missed out on was the radio controls on the steering wheel. I love the car, it handles great, gets great gas mileage, feels more roomier than the Ford Explorer I traded in, and I was able to load it up with an incredible amount of boxes and luggage when I had to move a couple of months ago. I miss some features that I am accustomed too...like cruise control. Can someone who has had the cruise control installed tell me how clean the installation is and how well it works?. Also, what is the lowest speed you can have it set for? I like to set my cruise control when I am driving in 25 mph zones to keep me honest.
