That’s just breaking the motor in . These are Toyota’s motors they go over 350 easy I own two of them and both have more miles and there In perfect condition driving wise .
How does it do with transmission issues? My 08 xb has never had it transmission fluid changed and I heard it can cause slipping if i do it after time..
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.
did the sound deadening make any significant differences? I want to do it to mine but Im not sure if its worth the effort. I just want less noise on the road.
@@Big_lencho It helped to degree. I didn't doo the floor or the roof so if you end up doing those perhaps you'll get better results. Overall def makes it feel more solid.I did the rear hatch and all four doors. Used Kilmat, no complaints with the product.
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
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.
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. ;)
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.
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.
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).
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.
@@NathansPorscheWorkshop no its not. I know cab drivers with 350k miles in our area. They are both great cars. The second gen is much safer. Smoother. They actually feel more well built from ly experience. My stick-shift 15 gets 28 city, 32 or better highway. Only way I see 25 is exceeding the limit 10 mph, which I never do. Oil consumption is common on earlier second gens. 13-15, pretty rare. Toyota had a mass campaign covering a rebuild. If the owner came in within 10 years from sale date and under 150k miles. Mine never consumes oil. Some early models prone to, never do as well. Both great cars. I saw a lot of benefits going with second gen.
WT Heck are you talking about? The 2nd gen is bigger more safer- more powerful with the Camry engine and way more space and style. The crappy gen 1 was a Toyota echo rebadged. I have a 2012 "Hot lava" RS 9.0 even the front and back emblems light up when you press to unlock- the 10.0 has navigation, wireless phone charging, scion logo lights protruding onto the ground ALL STANDARD EQUIPMENT they go from $6k -to $15k used in 2021. Look it up. Anyone who hates the 2nd gen is missing out big time.
Bought mine used in 2010 with 15k miles on it. Currently it has 70.5k miles with few maintenance in between. I would definitely buy another one if they ever come out with an updated one with the same form.
Thanks again Nathan for all your videos and insight. I recently bought a 06 xb cheap that was hit by a deer, threw on some headlights, radiator, and a/c compressor back on the road. Sooooo fun to drive this and save some gas instead of my 05 Sequoia. One for fun light hauling and the other for serious firewood hauling!!!
Nice video. I have an '04, original owner, will be 18 years old in two weeks, 186K on the clock. A few things I've seen that need replacing once they get up in miles: wheel bearings & motor mounts. Other parts that I've replaced: water pump, starter, wheel cylinders, rear coil springs (originals rusted out and snapped), exhaust (rust), valve cover gasket, fuel filter, PCV, EVAP canister and catalytic converter. I change my shocks and struts around 170K to KYB too. Still on original alternator, ignition coils, AC, radiator, fuel pump. It burns a bit of oil, especially when cruising on the highways at 80 mph for extended periods, but not a leak to be found. Car should last forever, as long as the rust doesn't completely destroy it first. 👍
Those 1st Gen. XB's are just gonna keep going up and up in value like the FJ cruisers. They have a cult following and they're 17 years old now, just wait another 10 you won't be able to touch one for under 14
I bought my 06 a year ago from a single owner lady in Texas.my brother in laws 06 has 546000 in change on it original engine auto trans.when I got mine I added a temp gauge and brand new coolant system. Water pump Thermostat Temp fan switch’s Radiator.for less then 500$ it didn’t need it but be safe.
When my wife and I spotted one of these in 2004 we thought it was the silliest looking thing… It was so ugly we had to get one. We had a baby in 2005 and my WRX was too tight to fit the car seat. We traded it in and I’ve been in love with the XB ever since. We were so mad when they changed the design.
I just bought a 2006 xB for my ex-wife from the original owner. 98K on the odometer. It came with all the dealer paperwork including the window sticker. I wish I would have bought it for myself!
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
@prettybaby80 a guy at work was buying a new truck and asked if I want to buy that off him for 1500 I said I had 1200 and he said bring it tomorrow lol next day he came with the car cleaned out and title in hand. Needed a battery and oil change and spark plugs and a smog... it was a great deal for me lol
Toyota should build these again. I have a Gen2 and it's perfect for me, I love it. Although Scion was originally created for the youth market, every time I see an xB it's being driven by a middle aged adult.
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.
It only has 114miles on it?!? It must be pristine! My xB's the same year but I have > 250k miles. It doesn't look new, but it still runs well. I'll never part with it!
I passed up an 06 Scion 5 speed 145k miles because it had rotted rockers was that a more stake they only wanted 2800 but rust was close to the pinch wells and a lift wasn't available but motor trans was great
I have a navy blue 5 spd '06 and yep the engine is reliable as heck. Pushing close to 200k miles on it now. I've changed the pcv valve, pcv hose, water pump, ac compressor, did front and rear brakes. Synchros do seem like they're worn so that might be next.
I have a 2006 Scion Xbox envy green, 212,000, that I'm looking to sell for $5,000.00. The only thing wrong with it is the radio keeps blowing a fuse when I go over a bump.
Hi and thanks for video! Thinking about buying 06 manual transmission with 220K miles on a dashboard. How long could it last more? Does it have any major issues to be aware of on this milage?
So ya'll know..... The Toyota Echo and Toyota Yaris both use the 1NZ motor, so you can find parts. Even the suspension is the same. Brakes. Seems like this guy is looking for Problems and Reasons to throw out Good Parts (hatch spoiler, Hood).
I love how body shops give these great prices a thousand bucks there is not even a thousand dollars worth of body on that car . What a rip . Maco we can paint these cars all day for 399. These cars are great i own both the stick and the auto . Amazing cars this guy is Just funny . I own the five speed and have over 300k on it and running perfectly.
I like you video bro I got a 2005 xB love this vehicle my only problem is that it needs a clutch job when I start to drive from a stop the engine shutters and jumps lol so what I do is just release the clutch without giving gas it’s ok on level road but if I’m on an incline road I must give gas otherwise car is fantastic
You mentioned on the first gen you could run e85? I just bought a 2005 Scion xB about a week ago and I have done some work to it as far as plugs, oil, starter, tires, windshield, valve cover gasket things like that.
@@wakawaka1976 so it’s a solid little car I ended up replacing the compressor, condenser, expansion valve and all the o rings as well and the ac is very cold even in hot Texas weather. I fixed this over a year ago and it’s still very cold. I don’t have any issues other than it’s a slow as car but it gets 30 mpg
I’d say this is why you protect carbon fiber parts, not why you don’t buy them lol. If you let paint or carbon sit in the sun or course it’s going to damage it over time.
Those 2005 Scion xB RS3.0 with a 5 speed manual on envy green, are pain in the ass to find. Because they are considered a collectible cars. Those 1.5L 1NZ-FE are solid build. Very rare and very hard to find those beautiful box on wheels 😍😍😍😍😍😍. And yes, 5 speed manual’s transmission fluid needs to be change every 30k miles. On 4 speed AT is every 50k-60k miles.
@@toyotabrony I got over 171,000 on it but she runs very good the LED mirrors still work and I still have the DC sport muffler it came with it was my aunt's car for 15 years. She got it in 2005 I bought off her for 2500 in 2020 but the car needs a little love in the body area but overall great car.
@@rafaelvalentin5508 see. Small maintenance will still give an excellent thing to drive. Less cost, easy to maintain, fun to drive, easily to modify. This box does need love
I thought some of the earlier models along with the TC hadcan issue with burning excessive oil causing the engine to grenade. I could be wrong though and maybe just affected early TC models. I am wanting to buy an Xb but maybe a purple releaee series one. There was one fimir sell near me but sold right away within a week.
Both gens are worth money. It’s not a rebadge Toyota echo. Just completely box design out of. Only things that’s stay the same is the engine and transmission
I just bought a 2011 xb8 (1 of 2000) with only 16000 miles since new for 5k...( my neighbor bought it new, when she was 72) 0of course it's Voodoo blue.
The horse power has me a little concerned. I don't need a speed demon, but do need to merge onto highways safely. I don't want some monster truck rear ending me.
Nice I just got a 09 xb in ok condition runs great everything works just replaced the passenger motor mount also need to replace the windshield also needs new headlamps assembly set and might have to replace the bumper and hood in the future but i love it👍😁
@wakawaka1976 funny story I went to the dealership and they were closed so I ended up going to look at cars at the lexus dealership on the other side of town and walked away with an 06 is350 lol best car I've ever owned
My 2006 is almost at 260k miles and still going strong!

How’s it holding up? I’m looking to buy a first gen xb
@@wakawaka1976 so it’s a solid little car I ended up replacing the compressor, condenser, expansion valve and all the o rings as well and the ac is very cold even in hot Texas weather. I fixed this over a year ago and it’s still very cold. I don’t have any issues other than it’s a slow as car but it gets 30 mpg
@@E85_STI awesome glad it’s working out.
@@wakawaka1976 yup so if you do get one it’s worth it especially how cheap you can get them for
@@E85_STIhow much was yours? Thanks
I’d say this is why you protect carbon fiber parts, not why you don’t buy them lol. If you let paint or carbon sit in the sun or course it’s going to damage it over time.
Ceramic film over the windshield.
I got an 05 5 speed with 107k miles for 4.5k, is that a good deal?
Pretty good these dats
Any updates on the Porsche parts getter?
No issues so far, we did struts and control arms one it
Those 2005 Scion xB RS3.0 with a 5 speed manual on envy green, are pain in the ass to find. Because they are considered a collectible cars. Those 1.5L 1NZ-FE are solid build.
Very rare and very hard to find those beautiful box on wheels 😍😍😍😍😍😍. And yes, 5 speed manual’s transmission fluid needs to be change every 30k miles. On 4 speed AT is every 50k-60k miles.
I have a 05 Scion xB released series 2.0 the yellow one
@@rafaelvalentin5508 still one of the rarest models to find. How many miles u got?
@@toyotabrony I got over 171,000 on it but she runs very good the LED mirrors still work and I still have the DC sport muffler it came with it was my aunt's car for 15 years. She got it in 2005 I bought off her for 2500 in 2020 but the car needs a little love in the body area but overall great car.
@@rafaelvalentin5508 see. Small maintenance will still give an excellent thing to drive. Less cost, easy to maintain, fun to drive, easily to modify. This box does need love
I want one so bad ! Should I look for a auto or a manual transmission?
Did you end up getting one? How’s it going?
@@wakawaka1976 I didn’t
I thought some of the earlier models along with the TC hadcan issue with burning excessive oil causing the engine to grenade. I could be wrong though and maybe just affected early TC models. I am wanting to buy an Xb but maybe a purple releaee series one. There was one fimir sell near me but sold right away within a week.
07 and up for the xBs, have oil issues. 1st gens are bulletproof. Idk about the tC, etc..
Are parts interchangeable on first gen, 04-06?
Yes nearly all parts
There so many parts for Toyota. So u have unlimited items to choose
I have the 2012 RS 9.0 Xb. Worth 5,200 to 12,000 or more. Gen 1Xb is old old old and is a rebadged Toyota echo. 2nd Gen Xb is worth the money.
Both gens are worth money. It’s not a rebadge Toyota echo. Just completely box design out of. Only things that’s stay the same is the engine and transmission
2nd gens burn oil
@@mdroproductions from 2008-2010 after the recall Toyota fixed them all.
MK1 BB 231 thousand still flyin
I just bought a 2011 xb8 (1 of 2000) with only 16000 miles since new for 5k...( my neighbor bought it new, when she was 72) 0of course it's Voodoo blue.
Where is fuse box
there’s two
The horse power has me a little concerned. I don't need a speed demon, but do need to merge onto highways safely. I don't want some monster truck rear ending me.
nah runs fine. just bought an 05 with 180k. 5 spd. pulls fine. feels just like the old celica i used to have
You are correct. Been driving one great condition. Just doesn't have thar kick to get off on the expressway. Gotta be careful.
Nice I just got a 09 xb in ok condition runs great everything works just replaced the passenger motor mount also need to replace the windshield also needs new headlamps assembly set and might have to replace the bumper and hood in the future but i love it👍😁
Get the Head Lights polished lol I have 04 Scion xB 275k miles burgundy
I'm buying an 05 for 5k with 118k miles on it 1 owner so hopefully its good
How’s it holding up? Looking to buy one myself soon
@wakawaka1976 funny story I went to the dealership and they were closed so I ended up going to look at cars at the lexus dealership on the other side of town and walked away with an 06 is350 lol best car I've ever owned
@@they_call_me_don9899 I was considering Lexus as well but wasn’t sure it would be a good first car for my kids. Thanks for the reply.
Learned a lot
I have 2011 Voodoo Blue R.S. 8 and it's all original. I love it!
It looks like the factory wing.
Stick a Star in the grill :)

First gens are the best because the 2nd gen has the oil burn issue
Yes the first gen was Waaaayyyyy better for sure
Not all of the 2nd generation
