Picked up new (to me) Yaris yesterday !

[yaris prime]

Hi all!
Just picked up my new Yaris yesterday. It is an '07 with 19k miles, MT and looks like it is brand new. Me likey !
I think the first thing I'll do is tilt the seat back with a spacer to give more leg support- better seating angle. At 6'4", I need this. Funny to see other people here have done that, as I have done that with two other vehicles.
I'm also considering adding power locks and windows, but I will wait on that, as it is easy to reach over and unlock and unroll the other side. I do miss have keyless remote, however.
Then, I have to loose those hub caps. Anyone have any experience with the MB wheels 5X wheels? They are pretty cheap at my local Discount Tire, but I do not know how they will hold up.

LOL..tell your daughter I *love* the description. How old is she? My 8 year old calls mine The Kangaroo Car...because of all the pockets and glove compartment places. :thumbup:

Congratulations! :biggrin::coolpics::drinking::headbang::w00t:

I just got a 2007, too, but mine looks like a big giant Roma Tomato.

I forgot to say. I had keyless entry and alarm added right away at the dealership. It wasn't cheap but it's pretty convenient, so I don't regret doing it - although I probably should have shopped around for the best deal first.

Again, congratulations!

Hello, my neighbor!

Welcome. Not sure if you got a service record with the car. If you didn't I would change the oil at 20,000 miles. There is plenty of advice on this forum on what oil to use.

Congrats on your purchase and Welcome to YarisWorld.

What's it run to add an alarm? I was thinking that might be a good investment.

Ok...you wanted to see the eyelids, etc...here you go!

Congrats! Nice little car in white. Great price.

The MB wheels you mention are good quality and will be just fine for your car.

[Klink10]

Welcome to the community. Nice ride and a decent price. Plenty of good advice on the forums with some excellent knowledgeable folks. If the wx gets better for the spring meet I hope to be there. If you make it great, either way enjoy your (new) Yaris.

Well, this was at the dealership, remember. It was close to $450 to install the alarm AND the actuator together (the actuator apparently enables keyless entry and locks the door automatically). Unfortuantely, I was asleep when I signed the last of the paperwork and didn't realize they weren't going to put an actuator on each door so only the driver's door is equipped with that. The alarm, though, is supposed to work if you open any door or the trunk.

Congrats and welcome!

Thanks all for the warm welcome.
Having this community makes having a Yaris really cool !
