My 2006 is almost at 260k miles and still going strong!

[nikolasahlstam]

I’ve got a 05’ drove it off the lot with 3 miles on the odometer and I’m at 204k now. Thing keeps going. Recently lowered it on Tein springs, exhaust, added fogs, and sound deadening. It’s become a project car since pandemic started. Keeping me sane.

I don't know why, but I've always like these mobile toasters. Weird and intriguing.

Number 741 of 2200 of the RS 3.0 is sitting in a junkyard here in Memphis. It had the chrome plated door sill plates in it and I grabbed them for my '05. These little toasters run forever.

I wracked hard my 2006 last month and I had to say farewell. It was my first car and added 240k miles without any problem. I simply maintained oil, breaks, tires. Added few fun things here and there. I had so much fun with DYI projects! KBB value may say $2k but my sentimental value was over $100k and I would not have gotten rid of my box if I didn't have to

Bought my XB new ‘05 and at 280k mi. Thanks to youtube I have learned a lot about minor repairs.

[LetsAllBeFriendsOkay]

Bought mine used in 2010 with 15k miles on it. Currently it has 70.5k miles with few maintenance in between. I would definitely buy another one if they ever come out with an updated one with the same form.

[pices]

Mine has 225k miles on it and doing great. I've had it over 6yrs with no major issues other than regular oil, brakes, tune ups. I did replace the headlights and they are super cheap. I love my box. ;)

[AutoMotoChaL]

I have one the only issue is oil consumption I have to add quarter every 1k miles

[IndyGuest]

Bought me an xB last Christmas for $4, 200 @ 196k. Ive always wanted one and this is really reassuring to hear. I could possibly see myself getting and engine & transmission change way down the road and keep it going.

Thanks again Nathan for all your videos and insight. I recently bought a 06 xb cheap that was hit by a deer, threw on some headlights, radiator, and a/c compressor back on the road.
fun to drive this and save some gas instead of my 05 Sequoia. One for fun light hauling and the other for serious firewood hauling!!!

I have a ‘06 xB 5 speed with 107k. Bought brand new. The concept was no-haggle sales. There was a base price of about $14k and from there you could add different options like floor mats, rims, TRD exhaust, armrest, alternate tail-lights, etc… I got the alt tail-lights, leather steering wheel, leather seats, TRD exhaust, Scion logo mats, and arm rest. I added aftermarket rims and tires later, and the total cost for the car came out about $18k when the dust settled. My paint is still in great condition (garage parked, even at work), engine is running smooth (change my own oil every 3-5k miles, and changed the timing belt at about 80k), never changed the brakes or coolant (which I finally have to do now), exhaust is still good, and AC still blows cold. This car doesn’t have much power (about 104hp?), but with the 5 speed, it does pretty well (also added a Fujita cold air intake which helped from 2nd gear on). Overall, I love this car because it rides higher than a regular car -which makes it easier to see, and get in and out of, has lots of cargo space, head AND leg room (people are actually surprised by the amount of interior space), and it’s reliable (it is basically a Toyota). p.s. my windshield did finally get cracked by a little rock on the freeway in 2019, cost a little over $300 (in Hawaii).

I bought my 06 a year ago from a single owner lady in Texas.my brother in laws 06 has 546000 in change on it original engine auto trans.when I got mine I added a temp gauge and brand new coolant system.
Water pump
Thermostat
Temp fan switch’s
Radiator.for less then 500$ it didn’t need it but be safe.

Toyota Strong is the expression I like to use, 1st Gen Scion XB doesn't disappoint with Fuel economy, reliability, overall low cost of maintenance. The Daily Driver Special.

[jasonrobbind]

Those 1st Gen. XB's are just gonna keep going up and up in value like the FJ cruisers. They have a cult following and they're 17 years old now, just wait another 10 you won't be able to touch one for under 14

We got that exact same green RS for my wife years ago, fantastic, solid car. She drove it for a few years, sold it with about 170k to "upgrade" to a "low mileage" (around 80k), 2011 Voodoo Blue RS (with the sun roof!) and extensive maintenance records. While it's a little more fun to drive, it's a friggin tin can. Rattles and squeaks gallore, used oil from the beginning (about 1qt/1200mi; Toyota says its "normal", and it doesn't smoke), poor gas mileage for its size (around 25-27mpg... PURE HIGHWAY), and we've had to replace COPs twice, the alternator, the stereo unit, the driver's seat track welds broke (we aren't overweight people), and it has some howling bearings in the rear... and that's just off the top of my head. Oh, and the sheet metal will dent if you sneeze in its direction. But alas, my wife thinks its cute, so... For comparison, my 20 year old Ford E150 van, which we've had for about the same time and miles, has had fewer problems and can get over 20mpg highway (4.6 V8). I loved my 4Runner and the 1st gen XB, but Toyota didn't impress with the gen 2 XB.

[colthoover]

I have this one! 2006 XB Release Series 3.0. I love it! Been a great car and I’ll never part with it

[kennethgrimes]

Bought my 05 brand new 2 tenths of a mile it has 114on it now and looks still like new runs even better than ever only problem is clear coat and have put in wheel hubs both sides.

[Jason_Voorhees.]

Just bought one in California for 1200 bucks. 182k miles on it. Did a little tune up and new brakes and she is running nice and I save so much money on gas compared to driving my 2013 Honda pilot exl

[garyclark]

My 2006 has 220K and still going good.
