Yaris DOWN! Help! Urgent!
I am on an impossible mission: I bought a 2009 three-door hatchback Toyota Yaris in Yellow Jolt this January when my Volkswagen Bug was totaled by a road rager on the tollway just outside Chicago.
I loved it. I petted it. I nicknamed it "The Ghetto Bug." Then I totaled it. Or, rather, a 16-year-old kid who had just gotten his driver's license two weeks before totalled it when he decided to TURN INTO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY CAR HEAD-ON. As if two, not-at-fault car accidents and a handful of hospital stays weren't bad enough, this last accident is coinciding with Cash for Clunkers. Meaning everyone with a Clunker suddenly has snatched up a Yaris, and I can't find one anywhere in the Chicago area. Your mission... should you choose to accept it...
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you so much! |

In February when I bought two Yaris sedans (in Barcelona Red and whatever they call that dark gray metallic), my wife and I mentioned that if they'd had a yellow S hatchback we'd've had to buy it. He laughed and said that no dealer would order a yellow Yaris unless they had a VERY special customer already lined up! (He didn't mean that in a nice way, we thought.) Good luck with your quest!

Well, I am pretty special...
When I was calling around dealerships looking for that first Yaris in January, one told me, "We have an ugly yellow one on the lot," and I was like, THAT'S IT. THAT'S MY CAR. I'LL BE RIGHT THERE! |

Now don't anyone flame me. I know this is a Yaris forum and the op is looking for a Yaris. Smart imo since I just bought a Yaris and I'm very happy with it.
Having said that, if you like yellow cars check out the yellow 09 Hyundai Accent. Before I was even shopping for small cars one passed me on the highway and I really liked the looks of it. It's a much lighter yellow than the Yaris and in my opinion the color is more pleasing to the eye. But of course it's not a Yaris. But then 100k warranty is a good selling point. But then it won't get quite the gas mileage. But then... Good luck with your quest. |

Thanks! And no worries; I have actually looked at the Hyundai Accent. My boyfriend pointed it out to me. I think it kind of looks like a Back to the Future car, but I haven't ruled anything out. ;) I just miss my Yaris!

yeah, any dealer should be able to order the color you want if you're serious, no? if you miss your Yaris, get yourself a Yaris. You'll regret it if you don't. PS. You should have named your thread "looking for a yellow Yaris" or something. I thought you were down on the side of the freeway or something! |
