Bought our 2012 Release 9.0 in 2012 have a little over 80,000 miles on it and love it 😍. No problems ever with it sooooo very dependable. Just like the Corolla that it’s built on.
You wrote 2012 Release 9.0. I'm not sure I understand. Great to hear you haven't had any problems! I read that the XB was built on the Toyota Yaris platform though. Wishing you continued great reliability!
@@witchauto7557 the Release 9.0 is 1 of 1500 special Scions that Scion put out every year. Every year was a different color. 2012 was Hot Lava orange color.
Also the upholstery on the seats was a faux leather with colored stitching of that years color of the car. That was about it that separated them from the regular SCIONS.
I had a 2011 Scion xB as used as my very first xB2.5 models. It use to be a taxi and it’s 175k miles and change the oil every 5k miles with no issues. Had it for 4 years, and in 2015, I figured it was the last year to end xB models. So I decided to get myself a brand new 2015 Scion xB as a fresh start. 8 years later I already finish paying my xB payment and it’s all mine. Now it’s got 82k+ miles with no issues. I turn into a overland built lifted scion xB. Make it more useful xB. Never took off-road before or at all. But I love this built. Change my oil always every 5k miles. Change my first ATF between 50k-60k. Change at 55k, using Toyota’s oem specifically made for my Toyota/Scion from Toyota dealer, Toyota’s ATF. I change the spark plugs early at around 75k miles. Change my gas cap after 55k miles. Got my full front and rear rotors and brake pads with ceramic. New hardwares change included. And I put a front 3rd/4th gen rav4 suspension with 2” lift, and the rear is custom spacer about 2.5”. Rear shocks and rear springs are the original xB. Of course I get the droops from the front and need new longer shocks or shock extended length. Put a 3rd gen Toyota sienna bullguard with a led spot light bar, roof rails and roof rack installed. I converted all my oem lights from oem incandescent bulbs and halogen headlight bulbs to led. I had sylvania silverstar ultra h11 low beams. And it was very impressive lighting output. Had that for 5 months before led. So now I run from lasfit,auxito, and sylvania zevo led bulb replacement. To see better, and be seeing better, so the drivers know where am I going. And my morimoto banger series off-road pods lights, haven’t hooked up yet but it will be soon. And get my first drain and refil with brand new Toyota super long life 50/50 radiator pink coolant. Make it more useful with aftermarket parts with oem quality parts and fluid to replace and refill. Now this baby handles like a dream, despite how bad it is when it comes to goin through the potholes and train tracks, gives u a headache, and it’s also soft lol. Once I get all the aftermarket suspension I need to replace and get some custom spacers and extensions to fix the geometry suspension, she’s gonna ride like brand new. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Hopefully. And new exhaust lol. @Witchauto
I own this car original owner nothing but regular oil changes. I’ve replaced all rotors and break pads replaced the idler pulley due to bearings going out went ahead and replaced the serpentine belt and tension pulley while I was at it. Replaced the compressor, stabilizer linkage bars and sway bar bushings. Right at almost 10 years no real major issues 146,000 miles on it.
@@witchauto7557 I was pretty stoked! I scored a Deal, too! Wholesale price. Stars Aligned. I had not Driven one yet, when I did I was sold on it. Army Rock Metallic color. Different and cool. I would get it any color, though
@@Al-Akram92 nice! Such a similar car. I see cabs in my area and drivers tell me they have 300k or more miles pretty trouble free. They run them pretty Hard. What kind of price was it?
@@Al-Akram92 mines a manual, too. They had it on the Lot 65 days. I test drive it 4 weeks prior giving an offer of 10k OTD. I came back after two weeks to see if they would change their mind on mu offer. The world not. Got a call. Negotiated for 45 minutes between sales guy and manager. Finally settled on $10400 with fees. Still had 3k of manufacturers warranty left on it. Only missing that rubber weather strip on the roof that always flies off these. It had a few minor scuffs in the door edges. I think it was folks bumping cars in Lots. A little toich up on the edges for $7, looks great 😊hood has the common chips on nose f hood area. Otherwise it was like a new car. I thought my trade in value level f deal was amazing..yours is astonishing.
My 09 scion xb running great, 77225 miles. I replaced the alternator, and a hose that cracked and was giving a error code P0456. The tire sensors not working properly due to battery on the sensors running out I guess, too expensive to replaced with new tire sensors. Manual transmission.
I hope you can find one one day, they're hard to find because people hold on to them. I just bought my 2012 Release 9.0 today with only 50k miles, I was PLEASANTLY surprised. Keep looking, they're out there :)
Assuming it has standard options $8000 is a good price if it's in good condition according to NADA Guides and Kelly Blue Book. Options and zip code does factor in the price, fyi. Good luck!
@@evan6898 It's always good to have a mechanic look over it with you if you know one. Most of us are not lucky enough to know a mechanic that can do this.
Actually the problems with oil consumption is between 2008-2010. The 2011-2015 is more high chance of not getting an oil consumption. I don’t have that as I cha be every 5k miles. If I have more money. I would love to own 3 2015 Scion xB models. One for lifted applications which I have it. One for lowered application, and one for stock form application with simple mods that doesn’t look like it ok appearance, and should of came as a factory and not optional.
@@oreally8605 warranty? Pay new car prices.. for a “warranty”? Its A TOYOTA. Cabs in my area with 350k miles. Running Strong. If you are Fickle, extra for a certified 2015 at a Toyota dealer. You’ll likely never “need” the warranty, but its there. It’s always an option to get a warranty on used older cars as well.. but I would not pay extra for it. But at 5k, if they covered it? It might be worth it. But you are right.. likely won’t have any warranty;) on private market you could get this easily for $4000 range.
Yes, it actually is more of an overview. I noticed I initially said review and later stated an overview, lol. I need to update my title. Thanks for watching!
Most people: 176k miles! That’s too high. Toyota Quality: its just barely breaking in.
I got a 2012 XB with 48,000 miles, love that car
That's excellent mileage! Congrats on buying the XB!
@@witchauto7557 I know, I was lucky to find a low mileage XB
I have a 2014 and it has about 37000 miles on it. Plan to keep it for 20 years.
37k or 370k miles on it?
@@jameycollins725 thirty seven thousand

2008-2010 had the oil consumption issues more than later models. A 14-15 almost never does
The newer models got the 2AR-FE a gas guzzler engine, my 2016 Scion TC drinks gas.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the Scion XB
I just bought a 2015 last year with 32k. Get one while the Gettin is Good! Excellent Cars. I have a Manual one, too boot. Best combo.

I just can't belive toyota stopped making this tiny vehicles. I'm currently looking for one but theres not that manny around for sale in my area.

Looking at an '08 xB right now might consider it
Good luck!
Rear wheel drive kit. AWESOME
Got A 2015 Been Great. Eleven Thousand Miles. Im 68 May Be My Last Car?
Peace I Hope/;-))
That's great to hear. Continued good times with it going forward.
This call toyota rukus in Australia. have more options like push start button and sunroof.

The two rear cubby holes are used to carry the oil you'll need between oil changes. Unfortunately 😮
Wow
$4500 car. Maybe $4k. No more-- and those are out the door prices.
Maybe $5000 for year and miles if they include a 1 year 10k warranty.
