New dude looking into a first gen

killthewabbit · 01-25-2010, 08:18 PM

Howdy.

New guy from just south of Nashville. I've lurked here for a bit (especially the sportmax thread) but never registered. I just sold my 95 Civic this past weekend, so I'm on the market for a first gen xB. I've wanted one since Scion was born.

Anyway, I look forward to pestering yall with a zillion questions and checking out the awesome vehicles posted here.

Hahaha! Never seen the Metallica cover before.

Thanks for the kind word, folks. If/when I get one, I will probably live on this site.

trust me this site sucks you in.

lots of useful info.

I'm going to check out an 05 xB with 60K miles on it after work. Any common problems I should check for, or things to make sure to check?

Thanks in advance

Welcome and remember that after we suck you in you cannot leave. Willing at least !! On the 05 just check out for the normal wear and tear as you would for any car that you are looking at.

u know an xb has been abused when you look at the floors all around and in the trunk.... dont pay too much for it...$8k tops i would say

killthewabbit · 01-26-2010, 08:14 PM

Wait, you mean as in salt and road damage or as in carpet and interior damage?

The guy with the xB this afternoon cancelled, so nothing to look at tonight.

killthewabbit · 02-08-2010, 12:45 PM

Well, I finally got one after all these years of wanting one.

Just got it home. I got an 06 black with 60k. I'm so stoked I can't see straight.

Ah, OK. Dude I bought it from was a hella nice guy. I like all the mods he made on it with the exception of the gold emblems, gold foglight mesh for the CAI and the gold rear drums and front calipers. Those should all be pretty easy to change back to my tastes with a day and some paint, so no worries here.
