Replying to: crazedcommuter (Apr 06, 2005 7:13 am) Mine is also Thunder Cloud, there was a yellow special edition on the lot at Tyson's but I did not want it. Are you planning to take it back to the dealer at 5,000 miles for the free oil change? I am getting about 28-29 mpg but I think it will improve.

Replying to: geekay (Apr 06, 2005 1:57 pm) Yes, I will take it back to the dealer for oil changes. You get 3 free oil changes with new Scion purchases. I'll get the oil changed at about 3000 miles on the 1st change, then 4500-5000 on the subsequent ones. I just finished my 2nd tank and I avg. 33.4 mpg, of course that was at 60mph and under. You should get better mileage after a few thousand miles. I also looked at the yellow special edition but I like the Thundercloud better. I think a special edition black with the CAI, TRD exhaust, chrome rims, and a spoiler would look good.

That yellow is nice, but it has a sport tune muffler that I would not want.   I have an excellent dealer for service for all the work on the Scion. Its not the same dealer where I bought mine. Funny how that works.   Here's one to throw out. Imagine Deep Purple as a special edition.

I think the design, specially the slab sides can carry off most colors with ease, like a big canvas. Deep purple would be good color, but even the black cherry that they have on the XA would be great.

Black Cherry is one of the main colors on all models.

Replying to: tundradude (Apr 07, 2005 12:19 pm) Is that TRD muffler the "buzzy" sounding one? I haven't heard one yet but if it sounds like a chainsaw I would be annoyed. I just installed my Zeta Storage armrest last night. It looks great!! It matches the interior perfectly and looks factory. The armrest installs in about 10 minutes and attaches to the seat tracks without impeding the operation of the seats. My 9 yr. old son and I installed it and it was so easy that I just gave him a few hints and then watched him do the work. It flips up out of the way if needed and does not cover the rear drink holder. This is a good product for Xb owners.

#62 of 345 "Pure Price" no haggle is a scam by drr2 Apr 08, 2005 (6:26 pm)
We had a strange experience when we tried to buy an xB earlier this week. Has any one else come across this? We wanted to order a color/transmission combination that they didn't have on the lot and to choose several add on options. We did not try to haggle over the price or accessories. Salesman said no problem, he could get us the car in 10 to 14 days max. He gave us a total price, but said he could not guarantee us that price even if we put down the deposit. He said the posted prices only apply to merchandise on the lot that day. Our final sales price might be higher--apparently depending on what the dealer desires to declare on day of delivery. He was very cagy, refusing to say or put in writing what our final sales price might be. Of course, if you decline the car at time of delivery, they keep your $500 deposit. This smelled like a scam so we walked away. I called and complained to Toyota but they said this was acceptable business practice for their dealers. I say Buyer Beware Replies to this message: crazedcommuter (Apr 09, 2005 8:37 am) drr2 (Apr 22, 2005 5:30 pm) geekay (Apr 09, 2005 4:56 pm) crazedcommuter (Apr 09, 2005 8:41 pm)

Replying to: drr2 (Apr 08, 2005 6:26 pm) You need to post the name of the dealer and city/state on this site so consumers are educated about them. They may have been talking about extra shipping fees from another part of the country. If your dealer is in California and he finds your color/trans combo in Fla., he will charge you for the transportation costs. The problem for you is that you don't know the real cost to ship the car. He might pay a dedicated hauler $300 and might charge you $750. If you limit your search and shipping to a 100 mile radius you usually won't get charged any extra $$$ I say shop at several dealers. And if that is not possible do to distance, deal over the net. Test drive the Xb at the dealer you don't trust and make a deal with the net dealer.
