Best Resale Value: Under $20,000

2010 Scion xB
Sticker price: $16,420 (manual)
Dealer cost: $15,632
New Car Blue Book Value: $16,420
Five-year service cost: $3,058
One-year insurance cost: $961
Resale value after three years: 60% -- five years: 42%
City: 22 mpg -- Highway: 28 mpg

The Scion xB’s rep as an edgy, hip vehicle that also offers scads of utility boosts its three-year resale value (and it doesn’t hurt that Scion is a Toyota nameplate). The xB offers a capacious 22 cubic feet of cargo space and optional features, such as touch-screen navigation and a DVD entertainment system.

Just another reason to love the box!]]>

2 Kicker L7 8" soloberics duel 2 ohm
Kcker 750.1 amp
Power Acoustik 20.0 farad cap

ill post some cool pics later tonight

my only problem is with the engine running at idle my voltage drops to about 12.7v with a hard drop. if i rev the engine to 2k the voltage stays around 14v.
im thinking i have to do something with the altinator.
i saw someone once (w/ a xB) put an altinator from a (what i was told) different Toyota on and it was making 15.2v at idle.
the other thing i was thinking was just put a bigger pulley on it.

what do you guys think?]]> after 3 days of some very late nights ive got it all together and it sounds great, very happy with how things look and sound.

Has anyone tried one of these or can anyone stand by it and say that it works? Not that I don't want to try it anyway, but I care more about 5mpg increase than a hp or torque increase.

I got my VW up to 44mpg just a standard 4cyl 2.0liter wolfburg, but I modified it myself by sticking a 4.3kohm resistor in the electrical work to "Trick" the car into thinking it was at its optimal temp of 54degrees celcius

here's a couple of products I cam across...

Though I know very little about superchargers and turbo chargers, I understand the purpose of inter-coolers.

What I was wondering is would it be beneficial to have an inter-cooler on a car with no turbo/super-charger? Is it possible to even hook one up without one?

The reason I ask is because a friend of mine insists on putting one on my box and I told him it was pointless and not possible, again this was based off me thinking you need a charger to hook it up to!]]>

My questions:

If I remove the rear bumper cover will I be able to tow it using a tow dolly, or will it still be necessary to put it on a trailer?

I am hoping to use a dolly as it will save money and weight. The uhaul trailer weighs 2000 Lbs and the dolly weighs only 750 Lbs.

Thanks in advance.

its a load of crap how they are talkin trash
i didnt see them thalin trash when Ford of Chevy was doing bigger massive wide spread recalls for more serious issues like break hubs locking up and causing the wheel to fall off or electrical issues causing engine fires

i think ill take my chances with a sticky gas pedal
thats just my 2 cents]]>

Headers just got here as did some CF appliques
Engine dressings arrived too, as did some fancy wirings.

Got a couple more things on their way but I want to keep some secrets!

Oh, I was looking into Thule products... found a Thule Aero Foot rack and Atlantis 1600 cargo box that I want to get but direct from their site it's like $600 and change. Was wondering if anyone had any leads on one for less?

Hope everyone's been well and keepin' their cars up this winter!]]> Got some redesigning going on with the A pillars, maybe b's and c's too.
