I'm predicting white

*tomato* · 04-13-2009, 06:43 PM

My money is one of the metallic lighter colors.

He said he wasn't sure about white because it's time for a change, not sure about Flint Mica, so....

Is it hot in Kentucky? If it gets hot down there, he'll probably go with a lighter color.

The suspense

is killing me!

See the other thread for the announcement of my color choice (with pictures).

YarisOwnersDad · 04-13-2009, 08:49 PM

Well, ths HAS been the main thread about my quest for a Yaris, so I might as well post a picture or two here as well.

Thanks to all of you who hung in there with me for the last couple weeks. It has been a titanic struggle, but together we have prevailed!

You are most welcome, my fellow Yaris owner!

I'm glad you enjoyed hanging with me. I was glad to have your company and your support, and I thank you for both.

For anyone who might find this info useful for comparison, I got the car for $145 over invoice. (I could have bought at invoice, if it had not been a dealer trade.)

On my 2008 Cobalt LS trade-in, I was allowed $8500 which was $75 over Kelly Blue Book average trade-in for a vehicle in "Excellent" condition, and my Cobalt truly was "excellent."

Not saying that I couldn't have done better, but this is the deal I got.

People who buy from Hudson Toyota get an unlimited mileage lifetime power train warranty for no charge as part of the deal.

So glad you finally got it! It's been awesome seeing your thought process as you've debated what to do. I can't wait to see you out on the road!

So now that you've got one, are you glad you did it?

YES!

We need to have a litte Muhlenberg County Yaris Owners Meet and Greet, Twit.

We should! My next few weekends are full of home repairs (finally found a contractor to fix the storm damage) but let me know and I'll get all the coal dust washed off.

YarisOwnersDad · 04-13-2009, 10:45 PM

How many folks do you know around here who own Yarii?

Yaris Hilton · 04-13-2009, 10:50 PM

All right! You got a Flint Mica one just like my wife's.

There are two that I pass on the road a lot, but I have no idea who the drivers are. Other than that, just me, you, and Wes!

Yaris Hilton · 04-14-2009, 06:37 AM

Daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County,
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay?
I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in askin',
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.

You got it!

I do believe Muhlenberg County led the nation in coal production each year for many years in the 60s and 70s. Too bad the market for high sulfur coal collapsed. This area has never found anything to take the place of coal mining and the associated industries for employment. There is still some mining, and it appears like there will be somewhat of a comeback, but we are far from where we were in the past.
