Need Opinions on Package Options

[bdc87]

Hey there, I'm new to these wonderful fourms and I think a good first topic for me would be about the purchase of "my" Yaris. I go to the dealer this Wednesday and I need some opinions on which options are good, bad, or "needs".

What I have decided on are as follows' 07 Yaris LB. I like the MM, BBM, and PW color options. I'm debating, but leaning towards the Auto trans, this will be my daily driver and to me the Yaris is a very good fuel saving econ-box, not a sport compact it is lightweight so it's better on the track then on the straightaway and I plan on improving it's suspension and I'll never be putting a turbo on it.

The options I'm considering are the Power Package, ABS, Keyless Entry, and Fog lamps. The truth is I could probably go without those but I'm so acustomed to having them. What is everyones experience with these packages? Quality? Whats the importance of ABS? I've never driven a car that was not equipped with it.

Price always plays a factor in what I get I'm aiming for 14K or less. I have a quote from a loacal dealer for a LB Auto with the PP for $13500. So from there I could add the KE and FL and be under my target.

As you can see I need some help and decinding what I should go for or pass on and I look foward to your opinions.

I would suggest choosing from what the dealers have on the lots.:wink:

if you need Power Package, ABS, Keyless Entry, and Fog lamps, pick the RS version of the Yaris if its available at your location...

That sounds like a decent price for an auto transmission with the Power Package. I paid $12700 without the PP.

Rs not at my location. Dealer says he can get what I want in about a day if they don't have it there. They do have a MM Auto LB with PP on the lot which I might consider if I don't want to wait the day.

if waiting a day can get you all the wants you want including color, then its worth the wait... its only 1 day... thinik of how many years you will be with the car... its better to wait one day than to second guess yoruself weather you made the right decision

I bought mine 4 months ago....LB, PP, and auto....and I'm very happy. Back then the dealer said the ABS and Side curtains were major holdups if you wanted quick delivery.
