2012 Toyota Yaris SE

Hey everyone, my old 1997 Rav4 kicked the bucket and I needed to buy a new car. After some thorough searching of a lot the used car dealerships around here, I got what I think is a great deal - a black 2012 Yaris SE with 104k miles, one owner, for 5,740.

I haven't even had it for a week yet, but I'm in love! The 5 speed manual is super fun to drive, and I love how the steering feels. I don't feel like I'm in a small car or lower to the ground than the Rav, even though I am. I love how it looks, cute but also sleek and even a little sporty. Everyone thought it looked newer than 2012, and my boss said he knew it was mine when he saw it in the parking lot before I told him; he said it suits me, and I agree! All I want to do is drive it around for fun.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi and meet some other Yaris drivers!

That was a good deal! I was looking at the car but couldn't make it down there. Nice buy!

I love how low priced you can occasionally find the manual cars for.

Welcome and congratulations. You made the right choice going with the SE model, but I may be prejudiced, I have one too.

You are an excellent judge of carflesh.


Or you agree with me, one or the other.

Lucky! I would love to find a stick shift SE model out here but no such luck.

I picked up a 2012 SE a month ago. It is an auto transmission but wish it was a manual. I gave my daughter my 2010 5 door which she loves. The SE is much nicer with the cruise since I drive a lot of highway miles.
