You can look at my garage for the options that are on it.

us who had to have next years car, especially a hard to get one... dont have as much bargaining power.

[Violin]

Yeah... I paid msrp and was happy to get one at the time.

[Go4th]

I wanted ABS and Nautical Blue. That is my requirements. They found one two states away. I was sitting there signing the papers for buying that one and the manager over sales had to talk to me about them cutting me a check (long story there). He didn’t understand why I did not want a car on the lot. Anyways to make a long story short the Nautical Blue one two states away that they were going to have for me the next afternoon was 15400.00 and he offered me the Flint Mica S on his lot w/abs loaded was 17900 for the same price.
They are crazy I was thinking in my head! They had a sell and negotiated their selves down just to sell a car off their lot! I did act as if I would not settle on that car in their lot because it’s not the color I wanted and it was much more expensive. However I did let him know that I might would consider it if there was an offer there that I could not refuse.

Anyways I was going to buy retail but ended up getting one hell of a deal! :thumbup:

[gromit]

Closed my deal 1/27/07. Mine stickered at $12,560. Hatchback with Convienience, Weather and Floormats. Paid $12,100. I felt like I did OK. My research prior to buying made me think I was going to have to pay sticker.

HOW DO GUYS GET THOSE FREAKIN AWESOME DEALS:eyebulge: ???

CAN YOU PLEASE TEACH ME???

[marcus]

theres nothin else to it.. all you need to know is what their markup percentage rate.. where im @ its about 8% so if you can get it for 7% less then you got a great deal... and one major key " be ready to walk away " give them ur price and if its between the 8% range i will guarantee you they will call you back if they let you go out the door...

HOW DO GUYS GET THOSE FREAKIN AWESOME DEALS:eyebulge: ???

The dealer I work at got one for me, I think I ended up paying about $10900, but I lost all my paper work, so I don't remember.

[91drggndime]

2007 Pacific Blue base sedan. Its got some features but no power. Bought it in January brand new with just 'test miles'.. had 40 when we got it. We paid 15,187.90 and put 1000 so we financed 14,187.90 on the dot. They had 2 sedans on the entire lot at the time. Our Pacific Blue and a flint mica. She hated the Mica and hated the LB. So we paid probably 1000 more then we needed, b/c they didnt have any.

[duck]

2007 silver sedan, almost no options except a $750 one that included rear defrost... all for $15,000 out the door (nyc tax, registration, fees, etc).
that was what i offered on a fully loaded one but they pulled a little bit of a bait and switch. still an ok price but i wish i had power mirrors and cruise control.

[Sabretooth]

[Black Yaris]

[ChinoCharles]

You sure did get a steal.

[jabberjaws5]

Got my blazing blue auto hatchback with power package and fog lights for 11,600 yesterday.

[rockchops]

I just put $200 down to buy a new Yaris (auto w/ convenience package only) for $12,727 with recent grad discount. I'm picking it up in a few days. Not the best deal but I think I did fair considering how I loathe negotiating with dealers. This is my first ever new car purchase. I can't wait! :thumbup: :biggrin:

[Black Yaris]

Damn, I paid a bit more than ya'll did, but that is the price ya pay to have the First... in Toledo.... Chino is the first in Ohio... I am sure I am 2nd

[dr_evo]

Hi everyone, Im new to the forum. I basically am wrapping up a deal with a blazing blue liftback automatic. I am getting it for 11,232 with 2,000 as a trade and I will be paying 170 a month for 72 months. do you guys think its a good deal?

hi again everyone. it turns out that i cannot own a yaris after all. when i came down today at dublin toyota here in the bay area to sign the papers, the general sales manager said that he will not go through with his previous offer and would not sell me the car. he basically wanted me to pay msrp instead otherwise he wont sell me the car. this happened after i already had called my insurance and had the yaris' vin covered under my policy. talk about dirty tactics but oh well. that's how everything goes.

[Razr]

That's a really crappy way to do business.

I'd be asking to speak to the Dealer Principle (or whatever you guys call the big boss at a car dealership) and I'd be giving it to him. I'd be very surprised if they didn't honor their original proposal after a few minutes with the boss, and in the event that they didn't I'd politely ask for the business cards of everyone I've been speaking to, and once in hand, the relevant contact details for Toyota's dealer complaints department.

If you put enough fire up their asses, you'll get what you want :)

Yeah that was what i did and the general sales manager spoke to us. Im a law graduate and my dad who was with me is an attorney. Basically it ended up with the general manager saying "if you want to pursue it then pursue a legal action". He said he was the boss and he doesnt want to sell us the car. this has caught me off-gurard really because even in a gentlemen's agreement, both parties should honor their commitment. I asked for all my papers back because they had a copy of my diploma and my original homework sheet of what the other dealers gave me. basically the general manager went looking for it but left the store after a few minutes with us waiting in there not knowing he left. to all potential toyota buyers, do not go to dublin toyota in the bay area.

one other thing, they tried to charge me almost 25% interest and i have an 800 fico score. it was a little insulting. because they ended up in the final deal with 5.99%, they decided to back out of the deal.

This sounds like something to tell Toyota Motor Sales USA. They'll send the troops in with the flame throwers over a story like this if you know what I mean... with an 800 FICO, you should be able to finance the entire lot.

[oneclickfixed]

You sure did get a steal.

Thanks. I had been wanting to buy a Yaris. Was at the dealer on Friday, but wanted to buy private party. Bamm! Saturday morning on craigslist the guy was asking 10g's. I was on it like white on rice. He told me that had received 20 emails within the first 5 min, but I was the first to see it. I knew I was getting a steal so I only asked him to go down to 9,900. He was fine with that, and it's a done deal.

[dr_evo]

Hi again everyone. This time, I actually got a Black 5 Speed LB Base no options.and it is in my driveway. :) I got it for 10,500. with TTL it went to 11,630! I am happy.

[Razr]

TTL=?

Time to live?
Through the lens?

Neither works :)

In any case, I'm not liking any TLA (3 letter acronym) that costs me $1130 :P

[AustinYaris]

Just bought my Yaris 4 days ago. It's a manual LB, and the only options are the $630 convenience package (AM/FM/CD, 15in Wheels, etc) and $209 floor mats. No power windows/door locks... no ABS... nothing else. Interesting to note that no manual Yaris LBs in Texas come with the power package option.

MSRP for this car was $12,664. I negotiated the price to $11,600. I went to 3 different dealers in Austin - the dealers wouldn't budge beyond this same price, so I bought from the one that offered free lifetime oil changes. With TTL (Texas car tax is 6.25%), the OTD price came to 12,580.

It's on OK deal, and I'm happy with the purchase.

[dr_evo]

TTL=?

Time to live?
Through the lens?

hahaha... its tax, title and license.

[kurokoma-kun]

Mine had sticker of 12660. Options = convenience pack, "cold weather pack" and carpet floor mats. No ABS--had it on previous car and in 5 years it came on like once...

That price included dealer delivery/handling fee of 630--document processing and other fees, tax, title license all extra.

Negotiated price of 11800 and got about what I wanted for trade-in.

Drove 2 hours to larger city to get it--local dealer only had automatic transmission and I wanted manual. Also only black one on any lot nearby.

I did majority of deal via email and phone--VERY easy this way--no pressure or salesman BS--just ask for someone on internet sales team.

[blacksan]

:biggrin: $11,900 for 07 Liftback. My local dealer sold me my 04 Tacoma and wanted to keep me happy (I think).

[wagoneer]

Are we talking tax, title, and plates too? Or just the "sale" price.

My sale price was sticker of $12660 for a manual liftback with cold weather and convienence packages.

+3 oil changes because they didn't have my first color choice

[thomasward00]

I love my Yaris for everyday driving and commuting, but love my Caddy on the weekends, the best of both worlds.

[seattlesam]

i purchased an 07 lb manual for $11,770 earlier this week.
i paid that price because i thought edmunds.com was the real deal.
after hearing the prices paid, i am starting to wonder if edmunds is owned by the dealers

floor mats, cargo mat, rear bumper protector and cold weather package - that's it. plain burger.

feeling like i could have saved myself 5-10 notes, but f-it....i got what i wanted, when i wanted it, and it get's hella mpg.

You didn't get hosed that badly. I paid more than you and I know I'm not the only one.

[Nimble]

Wheres Nimble at?


Lol, a bit late to this party. IIRC, I paid $100 under invoice for a 07 LB with convenience and cold weather packs. Around $11,800ish I think. I liked that deal. :biggrin:

[driver centric]

Just picked up my 07 LB with power, cold weather, ABS, SABs, bumper protector, cargo net and keyless for $13,200.

[SurfBabe900]

Yupyup, so i just bought a Jade 5-speed sedan today and I'll be receiving it no later than Friday!!! After taxes and all the DMV charges, it came to $15,875! Not too bad, I'm sooooooo excited! Its has the power package; abs lcd screen, etc. and its such a pretty color!!!! YAY!:biggrin:

[The Stig]

Just picked up my 5spd 07 LB Meteorite Metallic today!! Option B from Toyota's website, 12800 out the door. Probably not the best deal out there, but I'm happy with it! :biggrin:

[hatchbackkid82]

I paid $12,100 for mine. Carmax Toyota here in MD. With taxes and everything like $13,075. It's LB

[Rico YaYa]

'07 Barcelona Red Sedan automatic with the usual power/convenience etc, plus side curtain airbags and fog lights for $15,450 (plus tax, title, license). Stickered for $16,300. So not a bad deal, not great, but not bad. Now I just have to wait for it. For the record, I wanted the 5sp, but my wife was afraid to learn to drive stick.

[Mead]

...I'm soooo glad it's over.

5sp, convenience package, arm rest, 5 pc mats = 12,150 + TTL (OTD 13,171)

[potentialbuyer4_07]

I was quoted recently (April_2007) COSTCO pricing on a 2007 Yaris Liftback with automatic transmission, all-weather package, and floor mats: USD12,805.

I walked out on them and was off the lot and driving away when they literally ran after me and said they would beat COSTCO.

I wasn't ready to buy it that day, but now I know that I can get a base model w/AT for less than that. Should have haggled more to find out
just how much lower they would have gone, but I was out of time.

Any ideas about when Seattle area dealers might put on a big sale to start getting ready for the 2008s?

Also, any users out there like to comment on ConsumerReports concerns:
"most disappointing list"?
sloppy emergency handling?
a lot of noise?
an uncomfortable or compromised driving position.?

I like a quiet car, but I've been driving my wife's old Wrangler to work and any car will be an improvement.

AT drivers: does the staggered shift feel natural after driving for some time?

Which Yaris color offering is most visible to other cars?

Anyone out there in the Pacific Northwest USA or British Columbia able to get a really base model without the All-Weather Package?

Thanks for any help

[potentialbuyer4_07]

Lol, a bit late to this party. IIRC, I paid $100 under invoice for a 07 LB with convenience and cold weather packs. Around $11,800ish I think. I liked that deal. :biggrin:

I always wanted a debadged car but was unwilling to pay for it or pay for touching up. How much did it set you back? Wheel covers are stupid--nice move.

[07YarisOwner]

$13,899 with $4k down with tax and gap insurance and 7 year 100k mile warranty we financed $10,323

[PolarWhite]

I bought mine from a relative. He had the car brought in from another dealer and when it arrived it had the windows tinted already. I got it for less than $1000 off window sticker and he sold me the extended warranty at employee price. Worked for me.

[LuckySweetheart]

Yaris S, automatic, power package, rear spoiler, remote entry. . .

MSRP was $17,100. I paid $15,500 two weeks ago.

[RobotMan]

I wanted a LB with power windows and keyless entry. I found a dealership who could get me a fully loaded LB, Sticker price of $14,850 or so. I told them that including NJ tax, registration, etc. I didn't want to pay over $15,000. Amazingly, they gave me a car for $15,235 out the door, including 7% tax, $240 approximately for 4 years registration, $7.50 for the tire recycling fee, and whatever other small fees I forgot about. I think I made out fairly well.

[frodos]

[frodos]

tcwikla do you have pics of your car

[astyles]

I purchased my 2007 Yaris Liftback with 72,000 miles on it for $8,000. I have been a Toyota owner my entire life and I know that this car will perform its duty well after it is paid for.

Before purchasing my Yaris I sold my lifted Toyota 4Runner and I have since enjoyed driving my Yaris to work daily. With gas prices currently at $2.09 in Tulsa, Oklahoma my Yaris pays for itself and is much more fun to drive. I was putting over $200 in gas into my 4runner every month just to drive to work.

My payment of $150 is what the cost of gas used to be and now I only fill my car up (with a 20 dollar bill) twice a month.

I'm glad to see such a great forum and I hope to be a member here for a long time. FYI, I was a member before yarisworld got hacked so hello to all again!

i got a brand new 2009 yaris sedan in black, MSRP $14,795. the only thing it doesnt have is the power package, so no power windows, locks, or mirrors, etc. im not exactly sure if its missing any other options...it doesnt have fog lights, but it did come with a cd player, air conditioning, etc...
anywyas it was about $13,100, before fees and taxes ands tuff. I got $1000 for a trade in, so that offset the tax/fees, and after a $500 down payment, the total was about $12,600. is that a good deal?

Pretty happy, with my 1996 Landcruiser trade-in, it cost me roughly 6k for a new car.

That's a ridiculously low price for a fully loaded '09; just how did you manage that???

:mad:

I shopped around and made the dealers bid against themselves via email...it took about two days and really pissed off the sales people, but once I made it clear they couldn't get me into the dealership without a firm bid through email they were willing to work with me.

After about 2 days, one dealership got frustrated enough of counter-bidding to call me up and ask me what I wanted to buy the car...I made the offer and they took it.

Not to hijack the thread but here was a typical exchange with a sales guy I mentally called " Slick Willy":


Wed 11/19/08 10:31 AM

Hi XXX,

I'd like your quote for two different packages:

1) 2009, 3 door Yaris, manual with the powerpackage
2) 2009 3 door Yaris, with the allweather/convenience package.

The best quote I currently have is 14,400 for the powerpackage and 13485 for the allweather/convenience package.

Best,

Drew



Here is his first reply to me...



Wed 11/19/08 11:41 AM

Fantastic come on back in when you are ready to put down a deposit. I can match or beat your best numbers, but I won't play the best price game on email. Open until 9pm tonight. Can only guarantee that you will leave happy.

XXX XXXX
636 XXX XXXX



Since he was trying to play games and didn't include a quote, I just ignored him. He knew that I was in the market since I had test driven a Yaris at his dealership though...

About 2 hours later, Slick Willy wrote me back....



Wed 11/19/08 1:49 PM

I wasn't in the office earlier. I am now and have access to all the figures.

Again the point I was trying to make is that we aren't messing around here at Pappas Toyota. We are going to make you the best deal possible. Now with access to the figures I can again tell you that we will beat the prices that you have received.

without the power package I can beat them by $63, 13422 is invoice price and that is what you will pay

with power pack, I can beat them by $169, 14231 is your price

When can you come back in?

Thanks again



I ended up using that quote to bring down the price on the powerpackage further and then used the $400 from Toyota's graduate discount to get the powerpackage for 12,800 (13,600 with dealer delivery fees though...).

He kept calling me, texting and emailing me...a real high pressure attempt at selling (I'm in a PhD program and look young so they thought they could get me in and screw me at the dealership...) We had this exchange of emails...



> Did you find a car yet?
>
>
> Wanted to know if we are still in the running or if I should delete
> you from my files
>
>
> XXXX



Since he had been trying to play games for the last three days and I knew that he was trying to be slick I sent back:



> Hi XXX,
>
> You were about two hours too late when you finally gave me a number
> and I left to buy the Yaris from another dealer.
>
> Thanks for your followup though,
>
> Drew



Which was true, I had left on the 19th to buy the car a few minutes after using his quote to lower the price on the powerpackage. He replied...



I guess that means you paid a little more huh?
Oh well

enjoy the Toyota

XXX



Not quite...I'm glad that the other dealer beat his offer...I met the guy in person and he was an ass.

The moral of the story for me was that it pays to play the dealers against each other and not let them pressure you...shopping around for the right salesman was also important as the one we eventually did business with dealt with us fairly at all the other stages of the transaction (trade-in, financing etc).

[gwasabi]

13500 for my 06 5spd hb yaris. it was the top model at the time of purchase. got it for 11000 with my trade in for a g35 (had 25000 more to pay off and the dealer gave me 27000 for my g) and no tax ^_^

[cali yaris]

I traded in my 2000 Dodge Durango. The Yaris I got had been returned after a week by a young woman who couldn't learn to drive a manual. Since the dealer sponsored my Scion car club, I called in every favor I ever had, including a commitment to show my car after I fixed it up.

Trade-in + returned Yaris + favors = $3500 plus tax, which I wrote a check for.

:thumbsup:

[LittleRed]

I got my yaris for 11,800..great price..but i sure miss power windows and locks...

[gid]

we got our base model '08 Liftback with 5 speed manual for $10,650 . The Blazing Blue 2 door hatch had a $12,850 window sticker . This included a trade of a 2000 Chevy PRIZM ( Corolla ) with 90,000 plus miles that had seen a collision with a deer . We figure we got $1,200 for the car and additional $1,000 dealer discount . Many TOYO dealers would give us less than $1,000 or none , this was even before the incident with the deer . Some even joked that it was a TOY-LET ( Toyota Corolla / CHEVY Prizm ) and was not wanted :mad: . There was no rebate at that time . This was last NOVEMBER when YARIS sales were slow .

[PreciousPups4U]

In May 2008, Bayou Blue auto with power package, alloys, keyless, fogs, mats and dealer added cruise - $14,500 OTD

In August 2008, Blazing Blue manual with power package, keyless, fogs and dealer added tint, mudguards and bumper protector - $14,529 OTD

Got a great deal in May, not so much in August (but not sticker plus some add ons), but gas prices were way up and very few manuals to be had and we are spoiled to the power stuff and keyless.

At any price the Yaris is a great deal.

[BDYaris]

I got my polar white hatch (auto, mats, alarm) in July 08 for $13.8K OTD not great but not bad either considering none of the dealerships near me had any in stock. Most of the dealers were pushing Scion xD's or Matrix's to me no matter what I said!

[YAR1S]

got my 07 blue LB in summer...
30k miles, all the bells and whistles, tinted windows, keyless.
bought off a guy on craigslist a few cities away....

11,000 flat.
Think I got a good deal? LOL, I think I did.

He drives long distances to his job and every year he sells his one year car and get a new one. He'd put too much miles on them if he had them longer. He was a super nice guy and a great person to buy off of! He was getting a mini cooper for his next ride.. He liked little cars. lol

[yaris-?]

11 grand for a car with 30K on it, have some oceanfront property in Arizona your gonna love YAR1S !

lookin on ebay, just found a 2008 yaris sedan with 15k miles for $5,000. clear title, etc. it's in texas

Yeah; I tried that, too, but all in all they weren't desperate enough to invest a lot of energy into lowballing each other; if I didn't buy a Yaris, someone else would. Maybe your salesmen are just more motivated to sell than mine?

[otterhere]

Sure it's not from the wreck yard??? I found one for $1k, but it has a few dings (looks like a multiple rollover accident; side to side AND end to end)!

[SilverBack]

Hey what up i just got offered a 07 yaris liftback fully load with all the options for 13,923.00 with the color and manual transmission that I wanted. Thats better then Toyota.com under build your own....anyone else get a good deal?:thumbup: :headbang:

You and me both buddy!:w00t:

Got mine exactly as I wanted as a new car last Summer for a used car price (only 46 test-driven miles, no previous owner). Dealer wanted $14,000, but talked him down to $12,500 out-the-door. Got mine with manual, my choice of color, and power package. '07 was a great model year for Yaris IMO. :drinking:

[33OH]

I got mine new for $12,300.

It's a manual

Best gift I ever gave myself!

[otterhere]

Obviously one will get a "better deal" (lower price) on an '07 than an '08 or '09; I always check the sidebar to see the year, as that makes a big difference...

All these folks buying '07s; interesting; wonder why so many are available???

If I really love a car, I keep it till the wheels fall off; maybe these previous owners are disappointed in and unimpressed with Yaris, as I (overall) am...

:iono:

[33OH]

^ Or with this economy, bought a car, got laid off (or just couldn't afford it), and had to sell it.

[eht13]

Doubt it.

^ Or with this economy, bought a car, got laid off (or just couldn't afford it), and had to sell it.

I think this is much more likely. Plus some people are just weird about keeping cars in general, always changing their minds and wanting something new. Another possibility: a bunch of used '07's coming on the used market now could represent a bunch of two-year leases having recently come to an end.

[yarislover85]

I'm working on a deal and was wondering if anyone thinks I can do better. I've currently negotiated (without a lot of effort) a 5dr hatchback Yaris (MSRP 16,395) down to 14,005, which includes the 1000 Toyotathon cash back and 400 recent college graduate cash back but not T/T/F. Should I try to get it down below 14000 or just be happy with what I've got? This is my first car deal (I currently drive a 1985 Toyota with 155K miles - I'm ready for an upgrade!!!). I will also be paying cash, if that helps. Thanks!

(Cross-posted - sorry!)

So really, they're coming down by $995. I would say that this is pretty good, the only other thing you could TRY is to get them to pay for tax. (14,000 out the door.) But it's very doubtful they would do it. :wink:

That's my 2 cents on it.

[Ashley87]

Just got my 2009 2-door LB, automatic, with power package, ABS, and keyless entry for $14,500. It was $500 under invoice. :) And almost $1500 under MSRP. Woot!!

These are the prices you should see if you get a great deal.

This site is awesome for buying cars. Also, and I'm not advertising here, www.fightingchance.com. For $40 gives you a strategy to make dealers fight for your business. Not every dealer has a specific sales goals to meet, but send an email stating exactly what you want to all dealers around you and one will bite.

I plan on buying a Yaris and will use this to my advantage! :smile: if you save even $100 it pays for itself!

[KrazyDawg]

I purchased a used 2008 Yaris Liftback AT 43,000 miles from Enterprise for $10,600 before title and fees. It's a base model, so no power options or cruise control. They include a 12 month warranty on major services and 7 days to return the car if you don't want it. I had a salvaged car so I couldn't trade it in but they'll offer Blue Book and sometimes they'll thrown in $500-$1000 on top of it.

[t2mike2]

Hi! I'm new. Just got my 2010 3-door liftback (meteroite metallic) for $12,268 out the door. It is a 5-speed and has the convenience package, all-weather package, and the fancy floormats. I didn't care about ANY of that, but couldn't find one w/out it, LOL, so I hung in there for almost a WEEK and got a smokin' deal. ;)

[gogoa]

Bought a certified Toyota Yaris 2009 (4 door auto sedan) with Power Package, alloy wheels, cruise control, 60/40 split fold-down rear seat, original floor mats, polar white with 11,000 miles on it for $11,999 + tax, tag and title. I dont know whether this was a good deal or not. Also got a 5 year 0% financing on it. This was the deal maker for me.

[newyaris2010]

Just purchased:

2010 Yaris, 5 door liftback (blazing blue pearl) - new
Automatic transmission
Power package (power locks, windows, mirrors)
Cruise Control
All weather guard package
Floor mats + cargo net thing

for $15,900 OTD (out the door), no dealer prep (car was on their lot, not a custom ordered thing), no extended warranty, no financing. Tax, tags, title, and price of car all included in that price.

I spent multiple days haggling at two separate dealerships, and this was the best price I could get at either. One dealership said they couldn't go lower than $15,900, so I walked out... and haven't heard from them since. Next dealer said they couldn't go any lower than that (after prodding, urging, and attempting to force them to "compete for my business", so I took the deal.

The initial (first) deals at each of the dealerships were around $16,900 or so, OTD. I wasn't about to pay that price. One dealer kept rambling about MSRP, and I bluntly told him "MSRP is a worthless number."

Despite various claims here and elsewhere, I could not negotiate with the dealers I encountered regarding the $250 document fee, for some reason. Seemed they absolutely wouldn't budge, although their answers seemed, to me, mainly bullshit. $250 to process papers that would have to be processed anyway to sell a car. Whatever.

I used some of the advice here on this site to gather my courage to haggle, so thanks to all. :smile:

I'll try to get pictures up soon. This is my first brand new car, first Toyota, and I hope to become a part of this forum in some way possible.

I'm in the same boat,
'10 5-Door for $15,500 with All Weather Guard Package and Power Package.

Got it at 0% though with a 2 year maintenance contract thrown in for free because we already own another Toyota.

Price aside, I got the car I wanted and got rid of the POS Chrysler that I inherited from my wife when we bought her a new car, so I'm happy.

[rajks78]

Paid $15100 OTD for 2010 Yaris 4Dr Liftback (Auto) with power options/weather gaurd in MA

[yarisitis]

$7300 for a 2008 Yaris with power package, floor mats (of course), and AFE intake system with 5k miles. Salvaged title. Previous owner only had it for about 3 months then got into a front end accident so it was in brand new condition before that. It was fixed into pristine condition and I snagged it.

Bought it in April of 2009 and I'm coming up on 15k miles, smartest purchase I've ever made. I practically got a brand new car for half the price.

[DailyDriver]

newbie... Just picked up an 07 3dr manual with 72K miles for $6,200. Last car was a 92 525i. I couldn't be happier! Glad to have found this site. I have read a ton of threads and finally figured i better join. Hoping to do some sound deadening. Will be tinting windows this week. we will see what comes next.

[Hershey]

welcome to the cult . :evil: . :biggrin:

[DailyDriver]

Thx. still figuring things out... Looks like good people though.

So as to stay on topic... I talked them down $1650. thank you nada.com kbb.com and edmunds.com, and a local fix-it shop. Also, economy down = good time to buy :) :)

[hyprmiler]

I'm still a staunch believer in used > new .... but ONLY when you do your homework and are willing to go out of your way to get a decent ride.

For example....

Just got my wife a nearly new 2009 Toyota Yaris.

2009 Yaris 4 door Sedan
Automatic
Ext. Color Flint Mica
Int. Color Dark Charcoal
Full Power Package / Alloy Wheels
Toyota Certified Used for 7yr / 100k miles
Mileage 16,708
$12,450 before tax / title / license

I still think I got a steal of a deal. that's 1500 under MSRP according to KBB

[DailyDriver]

sounds like a great deal hypr!!

I just picked up my used 2007 Yaris (5,600 miles). Never been driven more than 50 miles away from orginal owners home. Literally a little old lady owned it. It's only had the oil changed once. It's a 2 door hatchback, Polar White, Auto trans, air, power windows and door locks, totally stock. It still smells new inside. Paid $9K.

[Hershey]

Not bad . :thumbsup:

[PhillyG]

back in october of 09.. sticker was 14,500.. base model 3dr stick
cash for clunkers on 1992 chevy truck i paid $600 for when i wrecked my 07 three states away and had to get home = 4,500.. so...
in the end pd 10,500 for an 09 just because i missed my 07 so much.
i think it was a good deal especially no money down.

[Arizona_Commuter]

About two months ago, I bought my 2007 Yaris, Sedan, 50K miles, Stick shift, White, Pristine condition, from Tucson Craigslist for 8 Grand. Used only as a commuter, I get 40-42 MPG. One of the best purchases I've ever made!

[DailyDriver]

nice Arizona! I feel the same about mine. Mine isn't pristine but feel like its a great value! :)

[Reases]

So I'm in the market for a new Yaris 2010 and I have a dealer offering my $14,620. This includes a power package with automatic transmission.

I wanted to get the car for $14,300-$14,500. Should I try to negotiate or just take the deal? Seems like the other dealers in the area only offer $15,000+ but one almost matched the $14,620 when I told them I had a better deal. Also what does I also read something about buying a car and getting it for less than $15,000 OTD. What do you do to get that deal or is it really rare?

Any feedback would be very helpful, I'm going to the dealer again this Sunday.

[CarBob08]

I picked up my 2008 3-dr manual tranny for $10,899 brand new. It had the NW cold weather package (bigger washer fluid reservoir, supposedly bigger starter) and a rear bumper cover thingy. Otherwise the car was pretty stripped down, no power windows/locks or cruise control. But it was a great price and I was able to add the things I wanted much cheaper than having them on the car from the factory.

[Hershey]

quite good . :thumbsup:

[lxy128]

[STC]

[brg88tx]

i just bought a 07 yaris sedan, plain jane with roll up windows. automatic with 58k miles for $6800.

[DailyDriver]

well done brg!

[Hershey]

that seems quite reasonable .

[RedHatch08]

Got mine USED in Oct. last year.

It's an 08 3DR hatch, 5 speed, no power options but it does have air. One owner, totally clean in-state history, and only ~32k miles.

With taxes, license, dealer fee, blah blah blah, and everything it was like $8950.

I consider that a smokin deal.

[Steveh27]

I have only a short driveway space, under 153" left after my boat in the garage & class B motorhome backed up to the garage. For 10 years I've been driving a rare 2 door hardtop Geo Tracker 1995 4wd. That car has been great & I've taken great care of it, but it's getting underbody rust & with 142,000 miles (I got it with 80k & only put 62k on in 10 years) I'm worried about more repair costs in the next few years.

I had looked at used Mini's but they are costly to buy & maintain & very low to the ground, painful for me with a bad back to get into. The Yaris 2 dr is the next shortest length vehicle. I searched online for used ones & found some. One I brought home for an overnight test was a 2009 auto with 34k miles with pw,pl, cruise, & most other options. They wanted $11,400 & the lowest I could bargain was $10,900 even though they had it for over 3 months.

Then I found one in South Bend, IN. I took the bus there yesterday & drove it home. It is a 2010 auto with only 4,600 miles, absolute red, with pw, pl, cruise, and most all the options available except no fog lights. It is immaculate & covered under the warranty. I've never had a car with a warranty before! The original owner had it for 5 months & traded it in as he wanted a bigger car. I paid $11,990 + only a $98 dealer fee. They said this was about a $17,000 car new & they had tried to sell it used for $15k. After 40 days they move their used vehicles to a wholesale auction house in Milwaukee. That's why they gave such a low price on it. They also picked me up at the bus station, & to sign the papers we drove 13 miles into Michigan for the lower sales tax which I'll pay when I go into to register & license it here. Sweet!!! I drove it home & got 39.5 mpg on a 120 mile stretch of the freeway at 74 mph with the AC on.

It does barely fit in my drive with an inch or two between vehicles. I need to figure out a way to pad the front bumper of my motorhome to prevent damage to the Yaris if I pull up too far.

[STC]

Welcome to the forum!

You did well... :clap:

I didnt know IN was more than MI in sales tax!

[Steveh27]

:smile:Mark,

I read your mileage report. 10% ethanol lowers mpg about 10%. Sad that ethanol is all that's available here in Mich & in many places. You are lucky to be able to buy 100% gas. Wish the US would drop that mandate & move back to all gas. Ethanol is bad for my old boat motor & I don't like to use it in any vehicle. And as it lowers mpg it can't be a net plus for our economy & country.

Your Yaris looks great!

Yes... ethanol burns quicker than gas, therefore, fewer miles to the gallon. It is cleaner burning than reformulated gas with MBTE additive, but there are problems that go with the use...

Problem is ethanol retains water. It also is a problem with lines and dissolving plastics. New cars are designed to handle the ethanol quantities. Old cars, small and large engine carburated vehicles, boats, tractors, and lawn equipment cannot handle for the most part. Main compaint I hear with farmers are about major hesitation and starts! Also ethanol gas shelf life is much less than MTBE gasoline.

Again, welcome aboard... lots of good threads here in YW... check them all out :smile:

Cheers!

[Hershey]

Steveh27 , very good deal for a 2010 with low mileage :thumbsup: . Doubt they changed the oil with only 4,600 miles . May want to get it done for warranty and peace of mind . ENJOY :burnrubber: .

[Steveh27]

Thanks. They did change the oil and maybe the wiper blades too. Just sold my 1995 Tracker at my asking price ($2,400) less than 17 hours after posting it on craigslist. Sad to see it go, but the buyer is a Tracker fan & has 2 1995's already. Now on with my Yaris. This forum seems great & I look forward to hours of checking it out.

Steve

[Steveh27]

I just got the list of all the options on my auto:

All Weather Guard Package
Cruise Control
Power Package
Convenience Package
Satellite Radio Capability, CD Text & Ipod Interface
Carpeted Mats
Rear Wiper
Tinted Windows
Bumper Protection

Paid 11,990 + 98 dealer fee for this 2010 6 months old w 4,600 miles.

I think that's it. I just did the mod of adding adjustable intermittent front wiper control.

Steve

[md313]

Must be pretty basic, right? Does it even have the Convenience Package?

Yeah it has a power package. I bought it last March, pretty good deal I think? :wub:

[Thai_Dang]

Bought mines in June, list price was $16,670, got mines down to $14,348, 0% APR. 5 door LB Automatic, fully loaded power everything. Not sport package though. In CA! the land of overpriced stuffs. But I saw one dude who got his power everything LB for 11k, crazy skills! I haggled like 30 dealers though to get exactly the car I want at the price I want, but I didn't know that you could go even further.

[jplelko]

Hey,
I am a new Yaris owner. I just bought a used 2008 2dr hatchback w/ 19k miles (clean title), power windows/locks, cd player, 5-speed in blazin blue. Only issue a 5 inch scratch in the drivers door (which i am working on touching up). Picked it up for $8k off ebay from a local guy.

Getting windows tinted tomorrow... :smile:

[STC]

^ :clap: Welcome!

[jerome]

Yes and Yes :smile:

You can get a 5-speed Power Package for under $15,000 OTD!

OTD... State Tax, Title, Registration, Documentation Fee, and any other fees and licensing according to your state...

Cheers!

[Sleepwalker]

2010 YR Hatchback with tinted windows, genuine floor mats and bootliner, 5 speed manual, all for $14,990 drive away. Helps that my stepfather is the finance manager of my local Toyota.

[smikutel]

I got the three door with power pack - power doors, windows, alarm and keyfob, driving / fog lights floor mats and life time warranty (set to see if this is of any value), tint, and a few other things that came with the car. the car final cost was about $15,500 out the door with Florida tax tag and title included in this out the door price. I paid a little under MSRP

The dealership was a bunch of shit head thieves that is the one thing I hate about Toyota in Florida the dealers I have delt with in the Jacksonville, Florida area are very crooked and the mechanics are scary than the sales people.

Avoid KeithPierson Toyota at all costs.

I have always like the car but the dealers are assholes. At least the cars are reliable and I have to spend little face time with the dealers.

I really wonder how much money they make on these cars. This crooked sales men say they make $50 but that is a load of crap. They have to make at least $3,0000 to $4,000 selling cars below MSRP on a Yaris. I mean these showrooms are high overhead and the profit margins on little small cars have to be at least 12% or they could not pay those high commisions and all the financing notes on those fancy palaces toyota dealers are buiding with airconditioned service bays. THey do get hold back and stairstep payments and this would have to be factored into the gross sale price. THey must make 30% profit margins on those fat mac daddy vehicles like the large SUV's and higher margin vehicles.

:smoking::smoking:

They make fat profits, are exempt from federal reporting laws and we feel it in the ass everytime a new car is purchased.
