Scion XB Depreciation & Resale Value

Scion XB keeps an estimated 48% of its recent market value after 5 years — #405 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Scion XB retains an estimated 48% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #405 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class by 10 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Scion XB sheds about 15% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $15,150 it falls to around $7,256 by year five — a five-year loss near $7,894, about $4.33 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Scion XB bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
