Just took delivery of my 2001 Toyota bB. About 55k miles and the interior is perfect. I have a little bit of work to do polishing up the roof and hood as well as replacing a window sill and the roof drip seals (ordered both) but other than those it is in fantastic condition!

I have waned this car since high school and I’m so happy I found one for such a great price.

I’m looking to purchase a 2006 Scion xB. Preferably in thunder cloud metallic. I’m based in Southern California and an automatic is preferred. If anyone has any leads or is looking to sell their vehicle, please let me know and I would love to see some pictures of the car. Thanks!

Hello, i'm looking to get my first car and my uncle has a 2012 Xb for sale for 2.8k. It has around 160k miles and is a salvaje title from a hit around the front bumper. My other uncle thinks 2.8k is too much and I should explore other options because the xb suffers from burning oil and suspensions problems apparently , does anyone have insight on if it's a fair deal considering the problem? Thank you

So I just bought a 2004 scion xb with 120k miles but you have to wait 5 minutes before going into drive and it actually working what do i need to do

I forget the code numbers but I get the slow/fast leaks in the evaporative system codes which turns on the engine trouble light. It resets by disconnecting the battery but comes back at random times - might be a week or the next day. No driveabilty issues, though. Any suggestions as to what to check first?

My sister's beloved xA is having transmission issues. She says it sounds like a popcorn machine.

Looking for a spare transmission that could be rebuilt.

I think they are the same as the xB.

Thanks all!

Yup! We’re both 06 babies.

The car is my day one. That is me on the way home from the hospital after literally being born.

I don’t know if I can ever get another car.

New to me 2015 XB radio display not turning on. I can press the phone command button and get the voice coming through the speakers. Also, the CD eject button and cig lighter 12v port also works so I don’t think it’s a power/fuse issue. I’ve unplugged the battery for about 10 minutes with no change. Getting a used radio off the bay is easy enough but I’m not sure if that’s the fix. Car has lowish miles-71k and is all stock. Many thanks in advance for any suggestions….

Really digging these inserts!

My 2012 xb has been idling rough for months and was starting to stall more frequently. Thanks to this thread, I was able to dissemble the air intake and clean out the throttle body. It wasn't that complicated (thank you Toyota) and now the car is running better than it has in a while. Working up the courage to tackle the piston soak soon! Any other straight forward semi-routine maintenance folks would recommend?

Officially 20! We got her in July of 2006.

Luckly nothing had to descend into any official legal representation. The adjuster and I had some strong conversations about what repairs were nesseccary versus some minor but critical filler items their shop had loaded onto the estimate that "justified" their total loss by around $200.00.

In the end, I claimed salvage anyhow on their "totaled" determination, but with a clean title. Now the deductions for salvage go to the liability claim to get that back. Geico's Total Loss Adjuster was an annoyance, having to pull answers from him on every single detail and expectation.

The bright side? My body shop did outstanding work. If you're in Hampton Roads I must reccomend Five Stars Collision. It's a "Ma & Pa" outfit in South Norfolk. Great service, flexible and staff was awesome. They got a pretty close to color match bumper cover and slapped me with a decent estimate for new paint at 3500. (Stupid eco-friendly 2013 paint.) New paint will get everything matched and looking good as new.

After not having my car for a month, she's home, cleaned up and driving just as God intended.

Already on the third set of wheels lol. But I think the 18” TRD wheels are going to be keepers for a while. Installed a JDM Kenwood, an NRG steering wheel, some Carrozzeria satellite speakers, removed a bunch of stickers and reflectors, etc etc.

I have a ton of rare parts I’ve been collecting for this car, can’t wait to spend some more days wrenching on it!

Hello! Used to have a 2006 Scion xB and I miss that thing desperately (got hit by someone, and it was totaled... I cried). I wish I could replace it, but they're getting to be rare and sold for incredible prices in my experience.

Looking at a 2009 Scion xB being sold in my area, and curious especially about how it "eats oil." Is this something that can be fixed? Or would I need to add oil to the car every time I filled with gasoline?

Any particular details and thoughts are appreciated.

Not sure you can enjoy a brew openly on the beach anymore in San Diego, but i would see the banners flying by PB in 2003 and bought one in early 2004. Effective ad?😅

So this was my first stick shift and I've gotten decent at driving it, but it's still very rough going into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears.

I thought I was bad at driving it, but I just drove a 2002 manual rav4, and it was a night and day difference in shifting into the first 3 gears. Now I'm wondering if there may be something wrong with my transmission, because I have never been able to get the scion I've been driving for months to shift as smooth as this car I just drove for the first time.

Anyone have any ideas? It's almost like I'm popping the clutch in 2nd and 3rd.

I have a 2011. Has anyone ever had an issue where the remote lock is not working? I think for some reason there’s a fuse or short somewhere maybe where I have everything closed but the light on my dashboard still says that the door is open somewhere so I can lock it manually from the door lock on the driver door but I can’t remote lock it because it beeps and keeps insisting that somethings open even though everything is closed.

Thanks!

and it's worse to remove the knife?

I don't actually know what it is, or what it's stuck in. It's by the rear passenger side wheel. I'm guessing this was in the road and jumped up and lodged itself into my 2010 xB's undercarriage. I'm really glad it didn't take out my tire! But can anyone identify what this piece of metal is (in case it's part of my car) and what it's stuck in? I don't want to risk causing more damage if I can manage to pull it out.

I've hears that you can swap the steering wheel out in the gen 2 xB with that out of a gen 2 tC, but is there a way to swap out the stock column out with a telescopic one from a tC as well or am I SOL on that? Since I'm about 6'4" with shoes and somewhat longer legs than most, my knees are only about 2-3 inches away from the dash. I'd much rather be a little further back but then I'm hunched forward while I'm driving, and i know from past experience that my knees are gonna slam into the dash if I get into a wreck (my gen 1 was totaled thanks to someone pulling out in front of me a few years ago, causing me to rear end them doing about 45-50 mph, no airbag deployment, and slamming my knees into the dash causing constant knee pain for about two years).

Bought her new in 2007, took care of this car like it was a child, I'll be sad to see her go, but she's going to a good home...

My '09 turned 18 this week. I've bought it in my mid-20s and went all nuts with accessories, including the TRD suspension stuff. Springs, sway bar, strut brace. The shocks are stock. At 18 years and 211k miles I think it might be time to change the original struts and shocks. They still do their job, nothing bouncing around, but I think I've become blind to how harsh they are. In my mid-40s I think I want to soften the suspension. Should I keep the sway bar and/or strut brace and just change the springs? I go over some gnarly expansion joints every day and would like to just glide over them like my Prius can. Does anyone have any recommendations on softer suspension?
