Who Bought the Basic Model and How Much?
In a sea of power locks, windows, etc. - all the comforts you'd like in a new
car purchase, I was just curious to see who has purchased the "bare bones" model and for how much? It seems there are quite a few "basic" buyers because even Nissan is starting to sell their Nissan Versas with no A/C, no radio, no power door, windows - under $10,000! (Buying a car with no A/C is pretty extreme though) |

bought mine here in oahu at toyota servco in mapunapuna for 12,500k out the door.
I have no radio, manual locks/windows, no rear windshield wiper, but all yaris's come with A/C no matter what. |

I got my yaris for about $11,000 with no power, it did come with a radio and AC. I got use to it pretty quick I do at times wish i had power windows, the power locks i do not miss much.

Basic Yaris
They don't sell completely bare bones Yaris' in Minnesota, but I don't have power locks or power windows. Don't miss them either. Don't have the split fold down back seat but didn't care since I took it out the first week I owned the car. Came with basic 15" steel wheels but I replaced those too. Has a radio, rear wiper and the heavy duty starter (required in Minnesota). I knew I would replace stuff with aftermarket so less is more. Car was $13,800 including taxes (6.5%) and license fees.

I didn't do the power, but could NOT find one (even calling other parts of the country) without either the convenience package or all-weather guard package; in most cases, it came from the factory complete with BOTH. Ticks me, because I think that rear window wiper is the dumbest idea anyone ever had and I'll never in a million years own an iPod; also, resent paying for the same rear window defroster TWICE (once in each package).
Out-the-door for a new (no mileage) '08 for $14,700, so I'm not complaining; automatic and the color and trim I wanted. But could live without the MP3 player and floor mats. |

Out-the-door price? Wow; you win! I assume you got away WITHOUT paying for a convenience or all-weather package; I understand it was possible to get a true BASE model back in 2007. Congrats; good job... |

I got a true base model and mine is a 08. Got it about 4 months ago.

Maybe it's regional; I was told "no dice" here... Of course, I also waited until they had stopped MAKING the '08, sure I wanted an '09... Oh, well; maybe I'll get with the program and learn to use that MP3 player... What is it?????

I also noticed the interior colors are kind of wonky in the '08 LB??? Dunno about all that white plastic and the little blue dots in the fabric... ; / But, again, I'll learn to love it...

all white plastic interior? Where?
I hate the fabric (blue dots on black). I am planning on putting leather seat covers (from cali yaris) for the front seats then putting on different fabric for the door panels. I already took out my back seats so i won't need leather for those. |

Yes; I'm not wild about the interior; it's a bit busy and not as "rich" looking as the '09. But I'm "richer" looking since I saved $1800 (less deposit for $1300) buying the '08; I'll learn to live with it; thank goodness the windows are dark. Why is THIS, by the way; the spec sheet doesn't say "tinted"??? |

$14,500 OTD. 08 manual Red LB, 15” wheels, CD, fog lights and rear wiper. Didn’t want the fogs or wiper but I realized I had to take whatever was coming (allotment) into the Southeast area or do some waiting and possibly not get what I was looking for. So, made some concessions and have been very happy I did rather than chance not even getting a manual transmission model or having to pay more for an 09 with more options than that.

12,500 base...Has the rear wiper though. I get a kick out of the fact that they put an Ipod/MP3 jack in a car with no power locks... but dont feel bad anyone. A bare bones Smart car cost more than i paid for my yaris and doesnt have A/C or a RADIO!! the "loaded" version....leather seats cd player a/c is pushing 19 grand. For one MPG over a yaris.......hmmmmmmm

Pretty sure I paid $13,400 plus tax and liscense,but I got the Lojack tossed in for free cause the dealership is the only one I have ever done business with.
Love the bare bones model....so much less to go wrong down the road. |
