I'm sooooo glad to hear someone else went as far as I did for my Yaris (S). I did a nationwide search after cancelling my local order.. found one exactly how I wanted, loaded w/ side & curtains (except for color) in Phoenix. So I flew out there, spent the night, and drove 17 hrs back to Houston with my first speeding ticket and a starburst in my windshied from a semi flicking a stone Also, I'm pretty sure I bought the most expensive Yaris ever.. but whatever, I've seen 4 other Yarii in Houston and they all look plain as hell.. mine's the best

Oh wow, now that I read your post again, Lithia Springs was one of the few other places with the "S".. there was a reason I didn't go.. including the beige interior and the hub caps. And they wouldn't budge on MSRP. I paid a few hundred under MSRP in AZ but they paid for my ticket, my hotel, my dinner, all my gas back to TX, and threw in Perma-Plate and dealership tint. I know it's a teaser but mine's a nautical blue "S" with 35% tint all around, power package w/ alloys, abs, cruise control, side/curtain airbags, rear bumper protector, spoiler w/ led, exhaust tip, and those sleek metals strips that say YARIS when you open the doors (?). basically loaded. I will only post pics after I install my fog lights and inalfa moonroof. I feel like I can travel the world with my Yaris and Garmin Nuvi But anyway congrats!

What do you think of the 35% tint? Does it look like there's even tint when you're looking out the window(s) from inside?

Yes, you can definitely tell there's tint. I love it and will stick with this 35% for rest of my life. Any darker and vision is slightly 'impaired' at night (and in my opinion looks slightly suspicious, maybe even makes you more likely to be pulled over), and any lighter and the windows wouldn't help block the TX heat. I still feel 'private', yet not clearly visible (a lot of creeps stare at me, and this helps). If there was such thing as 30% I'd do that, but anyway I love it!!

Hey ,
Your Yaris from Litha springs is the first Yaris I ever sat in. It was on at the front of the dealership on display. Nice car but not too fond of the tan but it looks better than the black (black looks cheaper). I bought my car last week from them and I am very happy but no movement from MSRP and if you are not a internet customer they try and get ADR (additional dealer retail) 500 to 1k.

i got stoned too , but as small as a bolded period (.). thank goodness it didnt go thru. just on the outside part of the glass

we got pulled over but was let go. the GA police had to help out another tro0per chasing a local on foot plus i was fumbling around with the dealer paper work for my temp insurance and temp title

i just didnt like revving up my car like that for the 1st 1k miles. i mean, theres no break in period but the manual said no revving up before 1k. now that im home, even when it's too late. im giving it another 500 miles just to take it easy and no revving up or constant speeds(so stopped using cruise control) until after the addtional 500 is done

dude, u were in my car. wtf?!? j/k

anyways. ya. i didnt really care about the price since i travelled from jersey. it's great to work for continental airlines with flight benefits.

but i got some kind of discount. that sticker had enkei 15" alloys but the car had steels. so they took 699 off and 200+ for the error. but then i added gap + 7 or 8 yrs extra warranty. the platinum or whatever is the highest

i didnt like that tan seats or not having the trd 18" available but these cars r hard to come by. so i was still happy to find one.

come to think of it. i prefer my spoiler than the ones with leds. these spoilers look like the jettas. and i use to own a vw

p.s. what's a rear bumper projector look like?

I forgot how to hyperlink but you can go to motors.ebay.com and type 'yaris rear bumper protector'. I suppose it protects against scratches & cracks. It's good for me cuz I'm a lady and whenever lifting heavy objects I need something to 'lean on'.

I paid $15,465 - $400 trade in - $400 College Grad discount so $14,665 and I added on the $740 Platinum extended warranty coverage also.

This is for a Yaris Metallic Blue Sedan Automatic with the Power Package. I was a little upset as well when I saw the half beige/half dark interior. I said the same thing, they are just to hard to come by.

My only 2 beefs with the car:

1) Driver seat leaves me with back and leg pain, I believe it has to do with the massive slopes along the edge of the seat. Found this out after driving an hour to work and didn't notice it during test drive. I will adapt the seat somehow to make it more comfy.

2) Brake Pedal gets in my way sometimes when I push on gas pedal. I have wide shoes I guess?

suprisingly the seats r comfy for me. it actually supports my lower back. normally i would get a rolled up shirt tucked in my lower back but not in this car. 16 hours drive wasn't that bad except for the same scenary - dark night.
