WHY do I want one so bad? - Page 9 - Toyota Yaris Forums

YarisOwnersDad · 04-05-2009, 02:13 PM

Sure hope they will give me a big discount on those Yaris floor mats, or even throw them in for free tomorrow. I could negotiate them into the deal, I guess. Who wants to pay $150 for floor mats, no matter how nice they are?

The floor mats have been added to the window sticker by the dealership. The original window sticker did not list the floor mats as an included option.

Thanks, Gio.

They had a white sedan there yesterday that looked really nice, but I had a white pickup that I traded in on the white Cobalt, so I am ready for a change. Otherwise, I just might have picked white for the Yaris. I STILL think the very sharpest color is that Barcelona Red Metallic that my son got on his car.

Well, now I'll know you when I pass you on the road. I'll be sure to honk and wave! (Be careful, though, there are 2 silver streak mica sedans running around the county. Mine will be the dirty one.)

Hi, Twit.

I hope to be at Don Moore by 9:00 AM, since that is when my salesman is supposed to get to work. I guess you will have been by there long before then on your way to work.

congrats and excellent choice in car

sedan ftw!

YarisOwnersDad · 04-05-2009, 08:00 PM

Maybe we are jumping the gun a little bit here. I hope not, but until the deal is put down on paper for me to see, I cannot say for sure that I will do this. I don't foresee any problems, but I will feel better when the deal is official.

This is getting interesting and exciting!

I wonder if Tom's wife will log in next and say she wants one too!

YarisOwnersDad · 04-06-2009, 06:45 AM

Morning, Everyone. It's 5:40 AM, and I hope to be a Yaris owner in about 4 hours or less. I'm an early riser, obviously, but I think the excitement over getting my Yaris made getting up a little easier this morning.

It is NOT a very nice day weather-wise to be buying a new car. It will be nice and clean only until I have driven half a block. It is raining.

SLIK4 · 04-06-2009, 07:52 AM

thats no fun man. ya im in kansas and every time i get my car washed it seems to rain or snow a day later. sure does make it tough to keep clean so it is dirty 95% of the time.

33OH · 04-06-2009, 08:16 AM

Congrats and look forward to the purchase!

YarisOwnersDad · 04-06-2009, 08:55 AM

Thanks, Ryan.

Well, I am just about ready to step out the door and take my last trip in my Cobalt.

I have to give that Cobalt the credit it is due. It has been a fine car, and it is not because of any dissatisfaction with it that I am trading it. It didn't do too bad on gas, about 27 to 28 MPG overall average.

Well, here I go! Next time you guys hear from me, I should be a Yaris owner!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!

Hey Tom, I’m hopping that by now you are officially a Yaris Owner! We are all looking foward to see the pics of your new Yaris "SEDAN" of course!!! LOL!
Hoping that you had a smooth negociation!

*tomato* · 04-06-2009, 11:58 AM

Good luck!

SLIK4 · 04-06-2009, 12:01 PM

have fun

YarisOwnersDad · 04-06-2009, 12:12 PM

Well, Peeps, I tried.

My salesman was BIG TIME overly optimistic about what the official appraiser would say. Of course, he made it clear that he could not make me an official offer via Email and that we would have to let the appraiser see the Cobalt.

I'm not PO'd at the salesman, even though I do think that he should have been experienced enough to come closer in estimating what the appraiser would agree to than he was.

The appraiser said $8000, instead of the $9500 that I thought we had a tentative deal for. Jeff, the salesman, thought we might get him up to $8500, but that would still be $1000 less than I was expecting.

So, I could have traded for invoice on the Yaris and MAYBE received $8500 trade-in. Sorry, but that ain't gonna get the job done.

Hey, I have a great car to drive that is almost new. I got a KILLER deal on it just ten months ago, and I thank the Good Lord for it. Maybe this was just God's way of saying that I should hang onto what He has already blessed me with and be grateful?

The Old Tomster is glad to have made some new friends here and will probably stick around.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this thread. God bless each of you, and enjoy those Yarii.
