high gas prices = higher yaris kbb prices
i was just looking on kbb.org because when gas shot up the year i bought my yaris my jeep went down 3k in appraisal..
my 08 yaris with 40k on it retail value now is 13000.... thats more than i paid for it 3 years ago. my trade in is only 500 less than what i owe on it right now... makes me curious if i want to unload my monthly payment or not.. or possibly.. i love my yaris though and if i sold it i would be stuck with just my 2000 f250.. which would break the bank on gas lol. just figured that was interesting that the yaris is appreciating rather than depreciating...

Unload a Yaris and drive an F250? How big is the tank in that truck?
36 gal?X$4.25 a gal = Keep the Yaris |

Price of yaris will rpolly double in a year if gas keeps going up. Those morons that bought V8s and V6s will become extinct. Darwin in action...

Just checked my #'s. People are paying more for my used Yaris than I paid for new. However the invoice price on a new one has gone up $1,300.
Did the #'s on another thread. If you drive 12,000 miles/year with gas being $4/gallon: A SUV at 15 mpg costs $3,200 per year. My Yaris at 40 mpg costs $1,200 per year. A savings of $2,000 a year. I haven't seen you post in awhile TinyGiant. Where have you been?

This is part of the reason why we traded in the 2010 Yaris 3 door . Got $1,000 more for a trade than a month ago . Took printouts from K.B.B. , N.A.D.A. , and EDMUNDS of the 3 door to HONDA dealer as leverage . Got 0.9% financing through HONDA as well .

I paid more for my 2 yr old 2004 echo hb (in 2006) with 65,000kms on it, than I just did for a 2yr old 2009 with 33,000kms in better shape and with more options. Both from a dealer... Significantly more... $2000

REALISTIC? How much to fill one of those things? 40 gallons +? @ $4 a gallon thats $160 for a fillup! AT LEAST! I fill up twice a month that would be $4000 a year!
Even @$3 its $120! Realistic? Realistic? Even if they arent morons enough to pay that they are putting a big sign on our backs saying "KICK ME!" to the oil companies and hostile countries who sell us our oil. Who are rubbing their slimy dirty hands with glee over it. Georges Bushes war in Iraq, Bernie Madoffs ponzi scheme, and now Obamas war in Libya. To which we can add people using 40 gallons of gas a week when >20 would do... |

It went into semi-retirement last month, when I bought the Yaris. I will use it for any heavy hauling, camping, hunting, fishing, nasty winter road conditions, etc. |
