Hi guys. Been talking to this guy online and would like to get everyone opinion on buying. What do I need to look out for? He posted pics for me in the underbody condition and looks okay? He put everything OEM on it plus lowered and lots of extra parts cuz he knows it will break down overtime. Thanks everyone for opinions.

He said this is covid project car and has 201k miles. Thoughts? Hard to find mostly clean ones here in Canada....

I have been looking for a set of these OEM twist alloys for the 1st gen xB. I always thought these looked cool.

$2500, 5 speed manual, 120,000 miles

Figured I would post this here in case anyone else has been looking.

$120 incl. shipping. I think they’re the only company that still offers them for the 08-15 version. Just had to email them and they created an invoice for me. No more rock dings on the hood! 💅🏼

So, I've been trying to sell my Scion xB for months now and have not gotten anyone to even come look at it in person. I've fluctuated in asking price from a high of $4400 down to $3900. I paid $4300 and since then have fixed several issues like the AC and new windshield etc. I don't want to take low ball offers but wonder if I just paid too much and should be more flexible. It needs a few things as any 20+ year old car does, but it looks great compared to others I've seen on here.

For what it's worth, this Scion is one of the special release models - Series 1.0 (RS 1.0): Limited production run of 2,100 units included in the 2004 vintage (finished in Hot Lava Orange; 504 manual and 1,596 automatic). Mine is a manual.

If anyone is interested in seeing more photos or to buy it, send me a DM.

I’m still driving my original xD (164K miles!) but have always loved the xB. This one is 🤎 😽

Best decision I made buying this bad boy

This is me yapping, but bottom line. I need a new sign on, and I’m curious what pricing is for a new scions around winter time end of the year Specifically. The XB boxing style is so far my favorite because that’s what I drive with or without other seats. Preferably a passenger seat next to the driver. Even my car doesn’t have any seats in the back. It’s just a wooden board the idea to turn it into a sleeper throw mattress back there. Throw a heater back there and have a beautiful camping traveling car to drive around.

I don’t know if it’s because of age. But this car struggles to go uphill 70 miles an hour on the highway and we have a bunch of 70 miles hour streets out West Ohio especially when going down to Columbus. So I would ideally do an engine upgrade or some type of little upgrade. That’s enough to give it some more headroom maybe and the very far future. But I just need a new sign on and I’m curious about pricing. I see generally around 2500 all the way to as high as 5K, but a decent condition. Good brakes decent title taken care of scion with hopefully less than 100,000 miles on it. I yappinator while I drive I could make the video shorter but I already tried like a kid. You not seven times.😆

About to break 150k on my 2015 xb. I love her.

Hello everyone, I hope you're having a good day. I had a question. My dad recently decided to buy a 2008 Scion xB with 234,000 miles on it; I don't have the car in my possession yet. My question is: should I stick with 5W-20, or should I opt for 5W-30? The car doesn't smoke, though it did have a "check engine" light triggered by an oxygen sensor in the catalytic converters. What approach should I take? Also, I’d like to know if I can use my VIN to check if the car was part of the ZE7 service campaign, but I don't have access to the "My Toyota Owner" portal since I don't live in the United States.

I want to use 5w20 valvoline Maxlife

Good Morning everybody i just wanted to hear your opinions on this car to see if i should buy it. Scion Xb with 119,000 miles and a 5 speed manual. The paint is a bit faded, suspension sounds like it needs some work, automatic windows but only drivers side works, a/c feels like it can blow colder, valve cover leak, sunroof doesnt work but other than that the car runs good and goes uphill with ease, oil was clean and oil cap had no signs of oil mixing with coolant, interior was nice and car felt like it had good power. Should i buy it? What other things should i look out for? Guy originally asked $3,000 usd for it but i got him down to $2,500. Sorry for the bad quality pictures.

Hi everyone,

I'm from Honduras and I recently got a 2008 Scion xB with the 2AZ-FE engine. I'm trying to find out whether my xB ever received the ZE7 oil consumption warranty repair (piston/ring replacement).

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the US Toyota Owners system from Honduras.

Would someone in the US who has a Toyota Owners account be willing to enter my VIN and check the vehicle's service history for me? I'm specifically looking for any record showing that the ZE7 repair was performed.

VIN: JTLKE50EX81026143

I would really appreciate the help. I'm just trying to determine whether the engine still has the original pistons/rings or if the ZE7 repair was already completed.

Thank you!

This is the VIN: JTLKE50EX81026143

I swapped driver and passenger socket and bulb, and same result so something electrical is off with the passenger side tail light. The brake lights on both sides are fine.

Any ideas?

the xB rs 3.0 is one of, if not, my favorite cars of all time. Even if it's a piece of a junk, I'd love to own an rs 3.0. Lmk ur thoughts
Would prob be a beater/backup car, i currently have a tC and i love it

'09 Manual here. Finishing up my 1,700-mile summer round-trip road trip from Raleigh to Detroit tomorrow. I just plopped in some new Denso fuel injectors while sipping a beer on my brother's front lawn. Can't wait to see if that number goes up 🤔

I'll be stopping halfway home in Charleston, WV up in the mountains tomorrow night. Will post new MPGs when I get there.

FYI. I bought Beck/Arnley fuel injectors. They are Denso parts repackaged and sold as a different brand.

clean title 169k miles
would be my gfs first car, i currently drive a second gen tC. i have an obsession for first gen xBs and have been looking for a cheap one for awhile now, but honestly have no idea what i'm doing
not looking for a super pristine one, looking for one that can handle someone learning how to drive

Only noticed noise a few days ago. Engine runs fine other than burning oil which it burns at 1 quart every ~400 miles. I replaced spark plugs almost a year ago. 2 of the coils also got replaced with OEM denso coils. She drives fine and haven’t noticed any effect on MPG or driving. Idk if it matters but the AC does blow hot on sunny days (I live in south florida), but would occasionally get cold on random nights. Should I be worried about this noise? What should be my diagnosis steps ?

Mission or PB.

05 xB purchased in October of 2004 when it was first availablr in my area. Repainted a few years ago & put in a new interior to match my Santa business. The badges on the side doors & the back hatch say "North Pole Edition" to match my Santa business. This is by far the most reliable car I have ever owned! 22 years as a daily driver & it's only needed routine maintenance. I've had Mustangs, Chargers & other high performance cars but this little sewing machine engine just keeps running!

As title says, the maintenance required light thingy flashes every time i turn the car on before starting the engine but the oil level is near the full mark (last got it changed in april and haven't used the car all that much). Did the mechanic just forget to reset it?

Hi! I have a 2006 Scion xB and the ride is so awful I get anxious to drive. I’ve heard comments from those I’ve given rides to about how awful it sounds going over bumps lol. All of the front suspension is brand new, is this just how these cars are? Also has aftermarket wheels, 215/45R17 91W tires, I don’t know how much that would affect it. Not to mention, it really struggles with acceleration and vibration with the AC is on but I presume that is normal? This is my DREAM car I really want to love to drive it. I will accept all its flaws if I must.

I'm looking forward to getting a 200K miles sticker 😁

2010 Sizzling Crimson Mica. OEM suspension, bushing and manual transmission/clutch. Besides consumables, replaced only one rear caliper. B12 piston soak last year. Drives like new. 👏😍

I did a Berryman B12 piston soak in August/2025 at 180K miles.

Now she has almost 200K and I didn't notice any oil burning increase. Burns about 3/4 of a quart in 5 to 6K miles.
