2007 Yaris-only 35,000 miles on the clock - Toyota Yaris Forums

Diego Murphy · 03-09-2015, 05:24 AM

First time poster. I'm just after agreeing to buy a 2007 yaris with only 35k on the clock, for 5700 Euro. Keep in mind that cars are a lot more expensive in Ireland. Car is in showroom condition. Owned by a nun that barely drove it. Think I've got a great deal!

SOunds like it. Here in the States cars on C list are usually trashed anymore.

Good luck with it!

Thanks. Looking forward to picking it up!

Wow! What a find! When I saw the thread title, my first thought was....Does it really have 35k on the odometer? Then I read your post. Given the occupation of the previous owner....likely a safe bet that that is the true odometer reading

And I've had a mechanic friend of mine look at it in great detail. He said he couldn't find anything wrong with it and there's a full service history, confirming the accuracy of the mileage. It's in showroom condition. And just to top it off, it has four new tyres! I'll post photos when I pick it up.

I think you'll thoroughly enjoy driving it around your beautiful country.

Very nice find. I thought I was doing well with only 56k on my '07. Only 35k is fantastic.

I need to find some Yaris-driving convents in my area.

So far so good with the car anyway. Will post some photos at the weekend. Feels like driving a new car and I'm treating it as if it's a new car....like not letting my girlfriend start filling the pockets with junk!

Hmmm nice deal, only down side I can see is you will have to watch what you say around it, no cussing or anything like that lol

Diego Murphy · 03-15-2015, 06:58 AM

Some photos of the car attached

Are you actually buying off the nun?or is that the story the seller is giving you?Take it to a certified mechanic for an inspection before you buy it.as sometimes deals that sound too good to be true generally are.

Yeah I had a mechanic who is a friend of mine look at it. He spent an hour and a half going over it with a fine tooth comb, intent on finding something wrong with it. He didn't!
