Thanks for the response on the cruise control. I think I will add it to my XB when I get the opportunity.
 
Happy New Year!

Hi guys, howdy? I am looking into buying a 2007 SCION -XB, I am located in Pasadena., Southern California. Recently has got a quote as follows:
 
Base price $15,410
Fog light kit $ 350
Spoiler $ 385
Tail light $ 275
Pumper/protect $ 58
Auto Trans.
Black Color
----------------------------
                           $ 16,478.00
Tax/Lic/fees + $ 1,598.72
----------------------------
 
Out the door
PRICE : $18,076.72
                         -----------
 
Is this out the door price in Southern California for a Scion XB (Black) with auto transmission is a decent quote or is it way too high? Do any one know any decent dealership in Southern California around Pasadena. that will have competitive prices for the little Scion I am looking for? Any suggestion or opinion will be greatly appreciated.

Icechuu, there isn't a 2007 Scion xB model. All the remaining inventory is from the 2006 year, as this particular model has gone out of production in anticipation of the redesigned 2008 version out later this year.
 
Thus far, no official designs for the new xB have been released. As far as the quote you received, it seems fair but only if you want those extra features. If you hunt around, you might find a base model without them for around $15G. Good luck.

Hey brucepadgett, thanks for all the info. I found one and only one with the color : Show Mica
at a dealer ship. With the options that I want:
 
Rear Spoiler
Tail Lights
Fog Light Kit
Floor carpet
 
The out the door price with tax/license/fee : $18,143.84 was quoted. They were very frank and admit they have to make about $883.00 on this deal. You think this is still a fair deal? Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Icechuu, I believe that $883 is what they CHOOSE to make, that's why they included all those options. The important question is: do you think they're worth the extra cost to obtain that particular xB? IOW could you get one with your desired color anywhere else w/o the options?
 
I would recommend you keep calling local dealers. Try contacting the internet sales manager for each one as they may offer you lower prices than the floor salesmen. Link via the Scion website--your messages should route directly
to the dealers' internet staff. Good luck.

2008 xB by girlbuffalo1

Purchase my 2008 auto black on black xB this past weekend. 17,180 just as on the sticker--$600 tax and $100 dealer fee I believe--great trade in amount on my old 02 Suzuki Vitara. The experience (for the most part) was great. The only thing lacking was that apparently they put the upgraded stereo in it and didn't include that on the sticker (the one with the graphics plate) and when I came back in the next day to finish getting detailed they tried to tell me to either pay the $600 for the stereo or take the general pioneer back--sorry dude but I already have signed off on all of the paperword for a set price for THAT car.
 
I called their bluff and asked "well what would I have to do to return it" and after a talk with the manager the stereo was mine at no extra cost. That in my opinion--was a bit ridiculous--their mistake not mine.

fleet pricing? by natatac

Any one tried the Costco/credit union buying service for a Scion yet? They have you set up an appointment with a specific fleet manager and give you a no haggle, fixed amount over dealer invoice. I have seen listings for Saturn in the listings so I would assume Scion would be a player also.

Are these features standard or optional? by georgiaman

It is not clear from the Scion website if the following features are standard or optional on the new 2008 Xb:
 
1. Cargo Cover
2. Tinted Windows (Deep or Light?)
3. Fog Lights
 
Can any of the owners comment? If they are optional, how much extra do you pay for them?
 
Thanks

Showed the 2008 to wifey and she likey by mcmanus

We have 180,000 miles on a 2001 Sienna that we like a lot, due in part to a good Scion/Toyota/Lexus dealership. But it's a bit pricey to drive the van as much as she does, so I'm always on the look out for something cheaper when it comes time to replace it. Previously I'd brought home a 4 cylinder/FWD RAV4 which she liked well enough to replace the Sienna. As it would be about $4000 cheaper to buy, cheaper to service, better mileage, and probably better during our snowy winters, I was very pleased.
 
As she works out of town I end up taking it in for service, but we happened to be nearby the dealer yesterday. So I pulled in to show her the new xB. She liked it! She was OK to give up room and the third seat! She even wanted to get it with a manual transmission! This would save another $5000 over the RAV4.
 
The only down side is that I was thinking of getting it for myself (before we replace the Sienna) and don't want two of the same car.
