    Pretty solid car.

    Only downside is the torsion beam rear suspension.

    my room mate might actually be selling her Xrs, and theres no way im going to have the means for it, but if she ends up getting her ninja and wants to sell ill post it on here first, but just fyi its an 05 Xrs bought it from the bell road toyota dealer in August 07, only has 75K, all carfax are clean, and its prewired for sound, and nothing engine/suspension/cosmetically been done. she bought for 15,000 then so im thinking she will be looking for 11.5-12.5.

    and ive been her room mate since she has bought the car, and can personally say all maintanance has been done on time, and oil change every 3K with fully synthetic mobil 1

    sorry, but that price is steep. that is a price a dealership would ask. KBB is only 9k (9.7 for mint) what the hell is with everyone jacking up the price of stuff lately?

    it was bought used, so how is one to know about if it was driven hard by previous owner? mileage is still a little high for an 05. good mileage would be around 55k. looks like she spent too much for an 05 or the value dropped much faster than expected.

    If no one will buy, she's better off trading it in.

    Haha economy isn't bad dude, people are just being more careful spending money, that's all. I work at jeep and we're selling cars really well so far..... XRS' are awesome cars with lots of power stock and with minor mods you'd be running nice and quick. I almost got a brand shiny new black one back in 05' but unfortunately the dealership couldn't get me the payment I could afford so ended up buying my 04 S which I love but no lift :( lol....

    Yea 25k a year is almost double what the yearly regular measured mileage is. Regular mileage measured a year goes about 12-15k. I bought my car with 29k and by the end of 06 I was at over 50k on it.

    Word, always check out the car inch by inch, check belts, color of the fluids and such, that tells you how well the car was taken care of.
