New 08 xB owner

hi guys! I'm very new to the forum. I have been hanging out over at the other scion forum for almost 2 years now. I have been following the xB since gen 1, and it has just been this year that I was able to get myself one. I've had my xb for 5 days now but I bought it last week monday. the 3 days that I was without the xb was when my dealer was being cr@p.

I lovet he xb and all... but I just had a bad experience with my dealer and the whole car buying thing, especially that this was my first time buying a car.

first of all, I should have not bought the extended warranty! that's the major regret I have. second, I shouldn't have trusted my salesman. He assured me that the minor scratches on the paint will be taken care of, and that he will have the interior cleaned thouroughly. I got my xb monday night and had to bring it back in the next day for the reasons mentioned above. Guess what... it took them 3 days before they gave me my car back and the interior has never been cleaned, nor was the scratches on the paint touched up, although the stains on the hood were gone. and to add some more fuel to the fire... the dealership freakin forgot to put the floor mats in the rear seats area. so I had to drive all the way back to the dealer.

I really wanted to cancel the extended warranty but the guy who sold me the warranty said that I could cancel it but I won't get refunded. Is it true though? I had the warranty included in the mortgage.

sorry for all the rant guys. guess i needed a place to vent out my frustrations. hahaha.

anyways, I'm glad I'm in this forum now.

Re: New 08 xB owner

Sorry to hear your issues. I just ordered yesterday and hope to pick up in two days. While I was there the other day one guy took delivery of a new camry. New cars for delivery are displayed on the showroom floor all spit polished and you get to drive it off the showroom floor. However I will likely drive it out into a snow storm as predicted by the weatherman.

Re: New 08 xB owner

congratulations on your purchase! I'm sure you'll have loads of fun driving your new xb. did you purchase the exteded warranty? take care tomorrow when you get your xb. I'm pretty sure you'll be spending quite some time in the garage admiring your new car.
