I don't have a real good radar for how Scion is perceived in the resale market. Some tell you it's a junk brand while other situations prove the complete opposite. I remember when the first Scions hit the market they were in such demand that some used models were selling for more than new ones. My roommate owned his Xb for 6 months and sold it for more than he bought it for. I think the hype calmed while supply simultaneously caught up and this phenomenon was short lived so yeah.. Knowing things like that but then hearing others trash the brand I have a hard time knowing what to expect.

Like I said above, I think the fact that Scion is Toyota plays a major part in the whole equation and also I don't think the Scion image was hurt during the big Toyota "unintended acceleration" debacle either. Can anyone verify if I'm wrong on that. I couldn't find any data to support that those recalls hurt the Scion brand.
