This month my bought new in 09 Yaris is six years old and has ~40,000 miles on it. I traded in my 03 ECHO for it when they gave me $4000 FOR IT (PAID $5000) and also got 0% interest for five years. Unexpected.
So far the water pump had been replaced under warranty @ ~26k miles and also the oil pressure went (not under warranty) and leaked two quarts before the oil light came on. That was like $150 not under warranty but T gave me $100 for the labor back thru Customer Service. Its also been in THREE accidents and fixed professsionally each time. Not major accidents but not minor ones either. I put it iin Neutral at lights so it doesnt rattle.
In 2010 I drove the car 8000 miles around the Lower 48 and in 2011 drove it 10,400 miles to Alaska and back. Currently its driven ~4000 miles a year to work and back and shopping on weekends. I change the oil in October and April and the filter in October.
Hope its my last car! (Im 59 this year)
