New Owner!

Hello!

I'm purchasing a 07 LB, 30k and very clean for $8200. From what I have researched this is a good deal. Thoughts?

I used to have a Fit and loved it, (sold it for a killing at the height of the gas craze and bought a dirt cheap but beautiful Esclade.)

The Fit was able to carry a mtn bike with the front wheel off, which I doubt the Yaris can do. I was looking for the 'work horse' thread that was mentioned in the Dunkin Dounuts thread (http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showpost.php?p=350738&postcount=7) that has info on all the different tasks people are able to accomplish with their cars.

Thanks!

I have a Yaris 07, and although I haven't done it yet, I think I could definitely fit my mtn bike with front wheel off in the back. In fact, I wouldn't have bought the car if I didn't think I could. Once you put the back seats down, there is a fair amount of room, you'd be surprised.

Hatchbacks are notorious for that, they look small on the outside but because of the design, you can pack a lot of stuff in the back. The Fit might be slightly roomier inside but the Yaris can definitely handle a bike, as well as a bunch of other stuff, IMO.

Price seems OK to me. Congrats!

That is a ridiculous deal. Buy, buy, buy!

Thanks for the response. I should have it by the end of the week. First thing I'll be doing is trying to stuff the mtn bike in the back.

Still looking for that thread on all the 'work horse' yarii...
