Thanks for the reminder, Steve. I'll try to sell it private party for $2k, but I won't give it away for $750. It's clean, relatively low mileage, and has been reliable.

Jeff and wagonbldr, my xB will probably be my last car, too. I was thinking about having a shop swap a Yaris' final drive gears into my xB when its clutch needs replacement, but the next owner would HATE its gearing. Not many people want to drive a 5 speed manual with 2-6 gearing.

I myself would not worry about the next owner !!!! Just hope that you can last as long as the will !!!!!

 

[wagonbldr]

I second that

Still planning on a trip to Ks in the next few days but not sure it will happen !!!!

Jeff, if you make it, we'll have to meet at one of the 100+ BBQ joints here in KC on your way through.

Hope to find out in the next 48 hours Steve !!!!

Hey, thanks Steve. I sold the Elantra for $1650. KBB was $1480 or $1580. I listed it for $1800, but it wouldn't start the morning after I showed it to a family who wanted it. My shop's owner came to my house to look at the car, but it started up fine. I told the family about it, and they still wanted it. $1650 sure beats the $750 a dealer would have paid me.

Glad it worked out for you, Darrell. It's not worth selling a functioning car for $750 in today's market.

 

[dubeexb06]

Got that right !!! Thats more money in your pocket now Darrell !!!!

my new car weighs as much as the First gen, has the same MPG ratings as the first gen... and has a slightly smaller motor with more power..

 

[dubeexb06]

Pretty good since its not broke in yet !!!!

I bought O2 sensors for my 06, and plan to install them, Anyone do this yet?
No codes or CEL, but thought I would replace them anyway.
I can probably figure it out on my own, but any first hand knowledge would be nice.
Hoping that my 21.2 mpg city in my auto that I drive slow with 40psi tire pressure will go up to at least 26 after.

/\/\.. Since I have started to change my driving habits I have never had below 28 MPG and that is winter driving !!! Have to say that our winters have not been hard but last 2 years it has been a very cold winter !!!!

Remember that... Right foot rules !!!

Bassman,

I haven't done it, but this video shows you where the O2 sensors are located. Looks like easy removal <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pO9SAJFln8>

 

[Bassman-Soundking]

Thank you!
I got the first one done today.

 

[dubeexb06]

[Bassman-Soundking]

[BigRuss]

I remember changing my O2 sensors out around that mileage
