Possibly purchasing a Yaris, how many miles do you go without major repairs? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I am a foreclosure inspector, and I currently have a Saturn SL that's... Ugh, I've had some times with that car.

I live in Plano Texas, and do inspections in Fort Worth. I drive ALL way long a couple weeks out of the month.
250 miles a day isn't hard for me.

I want an automatic car, fuel efficient (the yaris has to be MPG godly), and dependable.

Dependability is probably the biggest thing.
I looked at Fits, but they're really only obtaining around 29mpg. I also looked at 1st gen Scion xBs, but they're all WAY over Kelly Blue Book value at dealership. 10,000$ for a 217,000 mile xB at Holt Fiat? No thanks.

I do own a tC, it is very dependable, but I (and my wife) maintain the living crap out of that car. The #1 problem with it is the a/c compressors keep going out. I read a lot about this on the xB forums too. (I live in Texas...).

How many miles, do most Yaris' go without any major repairs?
