Good choice! Congratulations!

[Goalie]

I have been advised not to order a car from Maplewood Toyota themselves, (Twin Cities). They could not, would not, did not give me any good answers to order a car. I got put on a locate list of some kind. I wanted a 5 sp W/PP and found that it is almost impossible to get such a machine locally. I asked about the 08's and got nowhere. Well, shall stand by and see what spits out in 07 model. Anyone else have horror stories at a dealership who is currently out of cars?

Congrats on the 08' Yaris.

Still waiting for mine.....................................

[sdyaris]

I got mine through Billions in Sioux Falls. They said it was the only one available in the five state area. I would assume that includes Neb and Min. Final bill was 13,875. 12,900 + 900 for origination, cold weather pack and floor/trunk mats. Not bad considering inflation and all. I get $100 discount for going through web site. Can't wait, thats all i can say.

[ChinoCharles]

I might have to look into what I can get that lip kit for.

[CF-Shane]

At this point, If it comes with the tach, I may be looking at an S model and be looking to swap bumpers with someone who has a good condition base bumper. Not a fan of the lip kit on the S (unless it's just held on with adhesive).

[sdyaris]

Just a reminder to my first post. The build sheet says the tach is standard equipment. I'm assuming then that no matter which model you order the tach is "standard equipment".

I'd be willing to swap.

[Imagine]

I hope that they all get Tachs! I would strongly consider buying an '08 if they do.

[CF-Shane]

I'd be willing to swap.

I'll keep that in mind if I go through with picking up a Yaris. What color is yours? I'm fairly sure mine will be red.

[reznunt]

i can't believe some of you are willing to buy a whole damn car because it has a tach in it. i must be lost. wouldn't it be a hell of a lot cheaper to install the new cluster in your current car?

[CF-Shane]

I don't know about them, but I haven't bought mine yet, so it's all up in the air.

[sdyaris]

I'm buying the car because i want the car. :thumbup:

No genius.. My girlfriend took over payments on my Yaris. That's why I bought the Automatic was for her. When I test drove the manual version, I didn't like not having a tach. I'm used to having one, since all of my honda's have had them. The '08 would be for me.:thumbup:

[Jerkratt]

apparently A dealer by me has some..... im calling them back tomorrow to get a second answer

[Black Yaris]

as soon as we get a part # I am ordering one.... Hell maybe we can do a Gb from Rockland or something? but I would have to get rid of that nasty amber color

[PetersRedYaris]

Another South Dakota Yaris, Welcome... I'm in Rapid City.

I've heard good things about Billion Toyota. Out here we have Toyota of the Black Hills and they SUCK! I went to Greeley, CO to get mine. Congrats on the purchase. :thumbup:

then you must be aware that my post wasn't aimed at you, but at people buying the 08 when they already have an 07. most of the people talking about buying an 08 in this thread are people that don't already have the car... including you since you gave your car to your girl. i guess no one here is trading in their 07 for an 08 with a tach. sorry if i was confused.

[reznunt]

i'm in for the group buy...only if it's better than 20%-30% off!

[Jerkratt]

so i called the dealer and im going in on thursday next week to start the ordering prosses... and just incase anyone was wondering the reason im getting the 08 is because i crashed my 07... :( so not one can burn me for anything lol

[sherryberry]

[Jerkratt]

[sherryberry]

did you get your aftermarket parts off of your '07?

[Jerkratt]

[Black Yaris]

Any % off is better than 0% off:thumbup:

Ain't that the damn truth http://www.carforums.net/images/smilies/Werd2abc.gif

[fat like reflexes]

so the 08 S LB includes just a different gauge pod and ground effects?

[mikeb25]

Yep, and different interior fabric with some leather trim, but that's about it.
The good thing though is that as a "sport model" it may be easier to get one with some options.

[fat like reflexes]

ah, doesn't look like i'll be feeling buyer's remorse then. i just picked up a manual 07 LB and was disappointed to find out it has no tach (i tested an auto and assumed the manual came with a tach.) i'll get a scangauge to take care of that tho.

[gm830]

does anyone know if it's possible to change that ugly orange gauge backlight color to blue? is it too complicated to bother with for a noob? i hate that orange :-(

[SmallCarGuy]

It's possible with a handful of LEDs and a good soldering hand.... but I'd outsource it to someone experienced... you DO NOT want to screw it up.

[Violin]

I'm going to crash mine on purpose so I can get one with a tach.

WOW! You're hard core!

[brownm93]

FYI guys and gals, 2008 models are listed under the 'build and price your yaris' section of toyota's website. At least for the south east they are, anyway... i put in my zip (33702) and it gives both 2007 and 2008 info, and whats available.

[Nabisco]

There will still be 3 door Yaris I presume?

[jdgriswald]

It looks like it's the sedan listed (model 1451) even though it shows the hatchback.

[ECHOKnight2000]

Yes sir!:thumbsup:

[sdyaris]

shipment on my car has been delayed one week, so hopefully i'll see it next week. :cry:

[ajohyah]

Well,.. hey i have a mr2 but for some reason a tree ended up crashing in to my car. any who i was looking to get a new car and i was thinking about getting the lbs 2008 but im not sure

[jdgriswald]

What the hell is with Toyota these days?
I went to the dealer to preference an S Hatch, and could get neither ABS or side airbags. This isn't just a regional thing. I tried a "build your Toyota" for each region, and it was the same thing. At least PNW gets them built with Power Package and All-Weather Guard but what's going on when you can't even option ABS? Some regions can't even option fog lights!
I may end up with an xD despite the extra $1500, but it includes SAB and ABS standard plus the steering wheel radio controls. Guess I'll have to learn to love that nose.

[Jerkratt]

going to prostige toyota tomorrow and putting my deposit on it. there going to oput it in the computer that day. they said from then it should take 4-6 weeks

[mikeb25]

I too placed my special order last week.. what did you get?

[BlazingBlue08HatchBack]

I ordered mine on Saturday from a dealer in Pennsylvania so that i'm sure to get the side airbags and power package. Model ordered: 1431 Color ordered: 8T0 Options ordered: PY,CP,GY,KE,AB,DK. MSRP $15585 Sale Price $14638 + Tax $1024.66 + Title & Reg $301.50 + Docs $55 - College Grad Rebate $400 = Total $15564.16 :)

[ajohyah]

well im not sure yet.......what did you order??

[ToyVitz]

shipment on my car has been delayed one week, so hopefully i'll see it next week. :cry:

Did you order it from Billions in town here? I've never seen the "S" version in person yet. I wounldn't mind checking it out!

[Dess]

Just a reminder to my first post. The build sheet says the tach is standard equipment. I'm assuming then that no matter which model you order the tach is "standard equipment".

Only the 08 LB S comes with the tach.. I ordered my base model yesterday and as an AFTERTHOUGHT asked the rep today if it came with a tach; he confirmed that only the S does.. Meh.

[Jerkratt]

so just order the s hatch gauge cluster and swap um

[Black Yaris]

so just order the s hatch gauge cluster and swap um

that is what I am doing..... as soon as someone gets me a part # I am ordering

[black2yaris]

that is what I am doing..... as soon as someone gets me a part # I am ordering
Let us know when you do get the new cluster ..
maybe Toyota will do a group buy... L O L

[Black Yaris]

This is what I think will happen
Black Yaris: um yeah... Toyota, will you give me a discount on 10 Yaris LB S clusters
Toyota: how about we just http://www.toledotuners.com/phpBB3/images/smilies/ky.gif you and charge you extra shipping for being a big box
Black Yaris: Oh yeah, Thanks... how about you http://www.toledotuners.com/phpBB3/images/smilies/bj.gif

[gm830]

those emoticons are soooo troubling...

[Jerkratt]

hahahahahahahha

[ChinoCharles]

Joe, the day you found those smileys is the day Yarisworld died a bit. :laugh:

+400 points to the first person to find the part numbers and price the S package lip kit.

[eTiMaGo]

Maybe our friendly moderator/toyota inside man should be the first to know? :wink:

[sdyaris]

I just got my S hb about 15 minutes ago. Awesome!

[BlazingBlue08HatchBack]

sweet! lets see lots of pictures.

[Dess]

Yes, pics please!!! I think I might DIE waiting on mine to come in...

[ECHOKnight2000]

sweet! lets see lots of pictures.

Ditto!!
Interior and exterior pictures!!:bow:

[sherryberry]

i want pics too

[sdyaris]

I posted them under the media forum if you want to see them.

[Boo]

Saw a HB S on the local dealer lot..
The lip kit looks really nice from the front and the side.. :w00t:
However the rear lip is kind of odd to me.. The square thing in the rear looks like a mud guard to me.. but it doesn't blend to the rounded Yaris body...:thumbdown:

[Black Yaris]

it does look a little funny on that rear lip, but the rest don't look too bad....

[Black Yaris]

might look a lot better in black..... but I think everything looks better in black....

[kimona]

Really don't like the back... and not crazy about the front... big disappointment.

Thanks for the great photos!

[Jailbird]

Thanks for the pics. I'm glad I ordered the S instead of the plain LB. Much better than having an Easter egg in the driveway.

-Brian

[Mead]

looks like any aftermarket exhaust will rub the rear skirt

[Black Yaris]

Hmmm also I noticed..... when looking on the Toyota.com site the Yaris S is suposed to have a standard spoiler

[thewifesyaris]

alloys???????

[Kioshi]

on the website......they adjusted the mpg ratings to 35 or 36 for highway....whys that? I'm guessing because of the strict mpg tests their running for all 2008 models and up...read it somewhere when i was looking to buy a 2008 Mitsu Lancer GTS

If the 08 Yaris has 35 or 36 mpg for highway, then Im glad I got the 07 version ^_^

[Jailbird]

Spoiler is a $200 option. Alloys are also an option, or part of the power package but you can get the power package with steelies also.

Mileage is still the same. The testing procedures were changed to simulate more "real world" driving conditions which lowered the numbers printed on the window sticker.

-Brian

[oilman930]

In my neck of the woods, those woods being in the Mid-Atlantic states, the spoiler is a $200 option on the Yaris S Hatchback. The only way to get the alloy wheels is to specify the power pack with alloy wheels option.

[Jerkratt]

well ether way if u dont like one of the lips u can always take them off and swap them with something else

[Jailbird]

well ether way if u dont like one of the lips u can always take them off and swap them with something else

Thats exactly what I did with my Focus. I found one with the Street Appearance Package (factory body kit) because it was pretty rare. As soon as I got it on went an RS body kit, keeping the SAP mint.

-Brian

[AlphaFox]

that kit is rather fugly.. rather go aftermarket..

[jdium]

Wow, a stock JC Whitney car...hubcaps and a body kit...an ugly one at that...whats up with those rear spats?!?!

[Ferret_san]

I think it needs some....

[eTiMaGo]

that's the exhaust where the rocket boosters come out, right? :biggrin:

[Paul Bell]

Yesterday, I bought a 2008, Black, 3DR Hatchback, YARIS RS. I am pumped! I would like to pimp my ride at little, funk it up, and I have no clue ... any suggestions.:drool:

[Jerkratt]

haha wheres the tail pipe.....

[sherryberry]

CONGRATS PAUL!! get some pics.

[Black Yaris]

haha wheres the tail pipe.....

you did not know the new Yaris LB S is electric? :biggrin:

[Thirty-Nine]

I'm okay with the front and sides, but not a fan of the squares on the rear bumper.
