Sir! Come to your senses! Put your well-loved Scion xB out its misery. In your heart of hearts you know it's done for.
I would not spend $10,000 on a boring Corolla. You mentioned the Subaru Forester so I assumed you wanted cargo space, which you won't get in a Corolla. Perhaps you can tell us what your priorities are in a car? What do you use your car for?
Here's the best
KIA Soul on Craigslist at the moment and it's only $7200 with 77,500 miles:

Better car (newer, lower mileage) if you can stand the color, but more expensive:

For comparison:

The Soul had a major redesign in 2014, so you would probably want to avoid models older than that.
Excellent deal on a low-mileage
Nissan Versa Note:

The Versa Note rates lower than the Kia Soul and Chevy Sonic for mechanical reliability.
