hello all,i bought a 2007 base yaris sedan with 111,000 miles on it for $4000.,it is in pretty good shape but was the filthiest car i have ever seen,it was so bad i took it to a detail shop and gladly paid for them to clean it.the car was owned by a nurse and she got a new suv and wanted to dump it,she originally had it posted for $7500. lol.but after it sat on cl for 3 months she was ready to let it go at a reasonable price,the car fax is clean but i have a airbag light on and do not know if this is common,but it will go out when i first crank it up and back up but once im in drive it comes on again,it has to be a sensor or something.i also have a couple of questions, 1) i want to put a cheap cold air intake on it 2) i want to put a exhaust on it cat back axle back i dont care i just want a little sound but do not want to go deaf at 80 mph 3) cheap wheels and where to get them,help me out guys,the car is a auto trans,i work offshore and drive it 300 miles to work then 300 miles home every 14 days,[it has already made 3 trips] plus i drive it around town at home,[ sorry about my typing im on my tablet ] i have been looking on ebay and have seen intakes for $50, and bolt on axle back exhausts for $99. has anybody used them ?,the exhausts say off road only,is this a concern. ps i will post some pics as soon as i can get them up.

1) Throw on anything from microimageonline.com
2) no idea. someone else answer this one.
3) tire rack has some good deals on wheels, and again, microimageonline.com

The consensus on the forum on flea-bay deals is that they're cheap, so expect the quality which results to be along the lines of "you get what you pay for."

For wheels i'd look into some ultralights... Garm from microimage helped me out with some and it was a fantastic investment. They boosted my mpg considerably, most notably the around-town.

As far as the airbag light goes... what exactly is going on with it? Is it staying on after you're driving with nothing in the seat?
