I so want to buy the xB as we speak. My current ride is a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT. Gas mileage sux, love the car but toooooooo many engine probs and future probs to come along...ENYWAYS... i have enough money for a nice 5 Grand down payment, to cut down the monthly payments. and im looking to start buying all my modds even before i purchase the car,BUT what do all u guys think?.....Should i buy the xB now in the winter because i cant wait. or should i just stick it out until Spring??.....so confused on what i should do...BTW how does the xB handle in the winter?

 

I see no reason not to get one now.

 

Just buy it now! No reason to wait!! If you want it, and can afford it...go for it!!!

 

also, how are the cars in winter conditions w/ sum good winter tires???!!!?!?!??!...Cause i live in Buffalo,NY and we get hit like a fat kid in dodgeball...what do u think i should do...OPINIONS NEEDED!!!!!!!

 

It's front wheel drive, so it's going to do about as well as any other small front driver.....plus it has traction-control.

Whether you get it now or next year, you'll have to drive it in the snow at some point.

Quit worring so much and go buy one.

 

Buffalo's gonna be tough on any car. I lived in Cheektowaga for about 5 years and if you're caught in a snowstorm, good luck getting home in any car.

 

Scion has a set price on the vehicles so it should not matter when you buy.However you may get the dealer to throw in a few options for free or at a discount if you buy an 05, sice the 06 models are already arriving at the dealership.Also at the end of the month the sales people are looking to make their sales quota and may be desperate for quick sales!

 

Could depend on if you want a certain color. Camo and Black Cherry will be discontinued very soon, to be replaced with Flint Mica and Red Salsa. Also the RS3.0 Green will be available in Jan or Feb. If color does not play into your decision making get it now and save the extra $'s on gas.

 

how does the "Flint Mica" and "Red Salsa" look like? any pics or sources?

 

Flint Mica is a current Tc color, darker grey slighty greenish tint...dealer should have a color example. Here is a link to some pics https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...lint+mica+cult The Red Salsa is a standard Toyota color and you should be able to go to any Toyo lot and fina a car in that color. Look here http://www.toyota.com/camry/color.html I really like it and if it would have been out sooner it would have been mine!
