The 2004 Scion xB for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2004 Scion xB for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Buying the 2004 Scion xB is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the xB
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The figures, translated
The 1.5L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The EPA rates it at 8.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 24 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $37.68 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who the xB suits
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Space and size
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. For luggage, 595 litres means bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $125.60 at our price setting.
