2007 3door, 188k miles. $2400 out the door
So I am about to pull the trigger on a Yaris. Manual trans.
I found this locally at one of those little mom & pop dealerships in the sketchy part of town; 2007, 188K miles. "runs great" and the guy told me it needs front and rear bumper cover. They're asking $2K which comes out to $2400 with taxes/fees/plates. That's all I know. From reading here, it appears that it CAN have a few issues; - ABS wheel sensors (lights in dash when they fail?) - voltage regulator corrossion in the alternator (lights/charging warning when it fails?) - water pump failure (splotches under the hood is an indication?) - lower control arm bolts (uuhh.. sloppy steering?) I don't know what sort of labor/cost I look at to fix these things, but none of the parts look that expensive (including the bumper covers - assuming that's all it needs), even the faded headlights seem to be pretty cheap to replace with new OEMs. So is there anything else I should consider? I'd like to ensure this is road-worthy pretty much immediately. Timing chain is "lifetime", correct? At 188000 miles, the clutch should have been replaced at some point already. Ideas? Thoughts? Comments? Hints? |
