why are sedans so much cheaper
I have been lurking here for a few months and plan on buying a Yaris as soon as my current beater dies. I have been checking prices for many months and used sedan prices are thousands less than hatchbacks...what gives??

I have a sedan and I love it. I think some people prefer buying a LB for its utility... but, mine is a commuter and a sedan is a perfect fit!

Based solely on the 2009 sales in my area, I speculating that there is a bigger supply of used sedans than Liftbacks. By 5/31/2009 you could'nt find a new one in the Bay Area. I went to Nevada 5/2/09 just to find one with factory options. A Liftback Yaris is a well hunted quarry.

The sedan's just don't stand out like the LB's do.
And now with the 5 door LB on our shores, fuggedaboudit!

Around here the lb is cheaper and the supply is much larger well actually the demand is much smaller. My local dealership has 4 new 2009 LBs but only one new Sedan which is a 2008 and a manual and cost $1200 more than the most expensive LB which is an automatic.
In this area people don't like LBs though. In fact most LB drivers get them because they have the lowest sticker price. *They also have 1 used 2007 manual sedan with 40k miles and 1 used 2008 automatic lb with 20k miles and the lb is $1000 more.*

Dunno about that. Here on LI, I'm seeing almost all Yari on the road are LB's. I always try to catch them so they see my YW decals...

you just dont notice the sedans because they blend in to the sea of blandness that is the four door sedan. hopefully, for the next generation yaris, they will drop the sedan, or give it a new name...like...the Bleh. just kidding...kind of. |

I assure that the typical Long Islander is very different from the typical Delmarvan. I don't doubt that in LI hatches are in demand but around here hatches of any kind just aren't well liked. When I spend time in New England/New York all I see is LBs but when I am in the Mid Atlantic the very few Yaris I see are 80% sedans.

I really LIKE the '09 Corollas myself.
They have a real nice green colored one out now.

Standard Corolla, no. Corolla S or XRS, maybe.

In my area, the base LB is cheaper than the base Sedan. The LB is $13,010.00 and the Sedan is $13,770.00
