Getting my xB this week by firebox on Mon Feb 13 14:39:24 PST 2006

Hopefully things will turn out. Went to Toyota of Downtown Seattle and was told they could get any color in a week and a half (saw a white one that was already sold on the lot and I have to say, It looked pretty sharp), then after a half hour of filling out forms and talking accessories he comes back to me and say there's not a Red one in a five state radius to be had! What?! Black, White, or Silver, your choice. Hell with that. I had some time left in the day so I went out to Lake City Toyota and they said they had the Salsa one coming into Portland in a day! Plus Downtown Toyota wanted $500 bucks to hold one and Lake City only wanted $100. Granted LC is a bit far from my house but I think it's a no brainer. Though I'm tempted to call up Downtown T and see how much he would like to compete. Oh yeah, anybody get LED illumination system. should I invest in something else?

Toyota of Kirkland by xbdad on Sat May 07 20:24:05 PDT 2005

We went to Toyota of Kirkland twice before buying our xB. Both visits were pleasant. We originally thought we wanted an automatic, but decided the manual was more fun to drive. We got the Solar Yellow 2.0. It's bright! But with all the rain in the Norhwest, we don't dissapear into the pea soup. The xB is totally different than our Saab wagon which has every option you can think of. But both of us find that we like taking the xB out for most everything 'cept the long trips. We were pleased with the "no haggle" pricing which Toyota did purposely to attract Gen Y buyers. Scions are hardly limited to younger buyers; in other forums I am finding that the age of xB buyers ranges from 16 to 91 (retired Eastern Airlines pilot in Florida). Admittedly, it's an odd design which is not universally liked, but there are surprising numbers of folks of all ages who like it a lot. We've never been waved at so much in any car we've ever owned!
