Used Car of the Day: 2006 Scion xB
This 2006 Scion xB might be a 2004 -- the ad's body copy doesn't match the headline. Not that there's a ton of difference between those two model years anyway (if some Scion-head wants to enlighten us in the comments, feel free). Both the 2004 and 2006 were the same generation -- second-gen for the xB started with the 2007 model year.
This one has 123,000 miles on the clock and apparently runs well. The shocks and struts are new, as are the headlights, taillights, windshield, and windshield wipers.
The maintenance appears up-to-date, and there's a Pioneer head unit and Alpine amplifier, plus wiring for a subwoofer.
The tires appear to have a decent amount of life remaining, as well.
This could be an inexpensive, fuel-efficient daily driver for someone.
If you're that someone, click here to see this Pennsylvania-based ride with a $5,500 asking price.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- SCE to AUX I know the Highlander has been gold for Toyota, but I really hated the 22 I drove while car shopping back then. The drivetrain was ponderous, controls were confusing, interior was cramped, and it rode like a truck. We ended up with the Santa Fe, much to Bd2's delight.
- Big Al from Oz We had Highlanders for work and they are boring and uneconomical when driven with urgency. I will admit I believe the 2.2l diesel Santa Fe's and Sorento's are a better vehicle choice.
- Cprescott How is it that I have been driving nearly 45 years and have had no need for a touchscreen car tablet center screen? A co-worker had noted how well I can park backing up and asked if I had a screen in my car for that. I remarked, "no, I have side view / rear mirrors".
- Cprescott Once a practical and simple vehicle now looks like it has been in the water for a few months and is bloated and hideous. Typical Toyoduh garbage designed to make us puke by looking at it.
- Cprescott Making another expensive golf cart is the last thing America needs in 2024.
