The 2004 Scion xB for buyers

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2004 Scion xB for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2004 Scion xB, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

Before you sign for the xB

NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 37 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, visibility and electrical system; have those parts checked.

What the specs mean

The 1.5L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Fuel use is rated 8.1 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 24 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $12.56 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Size and space

As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. The trunk holds 595 litres by the EPA's count: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Who the xB suits

It suits people who want car handling with extra load space. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Drive it on your own roads

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the xB for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the xB tells you more than any review.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.56 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $125.60 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Narrowing it down

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
