Recently purchased a new to me 2015 with 30k on the clock. I hope it serves me as well as some of you.
Checking in again, I now have 41k on this amazing car. I have never enjoyed a car as much. I've owned expensive cars, foreign and domestic, sport and luxury. I love this little car, comfortable, fun to drive,
easy to drive and park, lots of room. I just painted my badges today, fits my black & brown car. Guys at work poke fun at me, I told them I can afford to drive anything on the road I wish...and this is it. Still loving it.
2011 new to me. 78k when purchased and currently have 80k (3 months with me). Old lady driven, everything original.
alternator went, replaced. Also replaced tensioner and serpentine belt (preventative). Currently, drives like a dream! Have a set of used TRDs I picked up for $150 with tires that will go on as well as new center caps and lug nuts.
Next: will drop on TRDs (buying springs, shocks, sway bar and brace).
Congratulations, looking good. Those wheels will look sharp for sure. I thought mine were the TRD, although they have SCION center cap. I have never seen another set
anywhere and have searched the Web unsuccessfully. Oh well, glad I have them. Still would like to know what brand they are and buy another set as a spare. This cars a keeper.
72,562 Miles now still babied and trying to keep it as new as possible. So far no major work
has been done, thinking about changing serpentine belt out eventually. Polished it yesterday.
I just noticed your emblem, looks good and after all it is. I had that discussion recently with someone who said it was not Toyota. I popped my hood, showed the engine, showed the
Toyota etched glass, showed the Toyota tag on the door frame. Reply, "Well it's not a real Toyota" Well this was also made in Japan, can't get much more real Toyota than that!!
End of discussion.
Does the front emblem have the alignment holes/pins, or just a stick on emblem? Your car is looking good.

They actually had the alignment holes/pins. I honestly have forgotten the dealer who I bought them from on ebay though was an actual toyota dealership with listings. Even changed the back emblem out too the alignment holes matched and fit well.

Picked up (literally) my 2008 xB from my sister last month. It has 208k miles on it and the engine needs to be rebuilt (my sister ran it low on oil - it had been consuming oil for some time - and from the knock I think it spun a connecting rod bearing). I have the engine replacement sourced (obtained at a local u-pull yard) and will be rebuilding it over the Fall/Winter. This xB has a manual transmission, so I have to keep it alive!
