Bought my new Bubble!!
SPECS:
2007 Black Sand Pearl Litback 3 Door 5 Speed Manual Transmission Convenience/All Weather/Mats Sticker $12,625 Paid $12,900 out the door with new plates, and tax/title=$100 UNDER invoice Loving the car so far coming from 5 BMW's, it's new, but it's also nice to be driving such a dead reliable car that is quite economical. Gotta love how much cheaper Toyota insurance is over Honda's. As you can see, the car is bone stock except for removing the dumb hubbies. PLANS LTW 16" wheels with 205 summer tires Tanabe DF springs debadge rear Sand and paint both Toyota badges front/rear black Tint 20%/35% front Upgrade front/rear seakers I look forward to a long future with this car. Hope it treats me as well as I'll be treating it. |

Looking good! Did you get rid of your Bimmer (s)? Or is this a second car for commute? I must say you got a great deal even if its just the very base model (as far as features go). And congrats!!

you got yours for 300 less than i did. i paid 13,2 out the door but this back at the end of october. i guess these cars are getting more common now so prices are falling ever so slowly.

Just to give a taste of how crazy I am about buying/selling cars, the below list is cars I've owned and sold since the first of 2004. 1-1995 BMW 318is, Jet Black, college car, had for 3 yrs 2-00 Nissan Sentra beater, that I bought for really cheap, drove for 2 months, and sold for a $1800 profit 3-1992 BMW 325i, Jet Black, rocked for 6 months, and sold for a $1200 profit 4-1995 BMW M3, Avus Blue, drove a year, and broke even on the sale 5-2005 Honda Civic value package coupe, Silver, bought to drive daily, so the M3 hat kept breaking down wouldn't have to be my only car....traded this in for the next car, needless to say I didn't make money hehe. Only lost $1300 though. 6-2006 Acura RSX Type S, Vivid Blue Pearl, this car got me in my only accident of my life after it had only 1800 miles on it. A stupid semi cut me off and ran me into a construction area. He kept driving. I traded this in for the next car.....and lost my ass. :( 7-2006 VW MKV GTI, Candy White, this car was sweet with the 2.0 turbo, but I got tired of having expensive cars, so I sold it and rocked a old school E30 BMW 318is for a little bit before I bought the Yaris. 8-1991 BMW 318is, Brilliant Red, paid $2K for it, it was pretty beat and I spent a grand fixing it up and about 150 labor hours, sold it for $3700 though. ....And here I am with the Yaris....whew!!! that's a long story. ;) BTW, thanks for the kind words too guys! I like the dark side of the Yaris...hehe, that sounded funny. |

Wow! You still got a great deal though! I think I actually paid something like $11.9 for the car without the added taxes, etc.

Even though we had a small debate i hope the best for you and your yaris. I would like to see it fixed up. I am looking for a old e30 myself. I cant find a decent b13 sentra se-r anymore so the e30 is my other option. Ill keep my ef honda forever just because who it belonged to and it still delivers 35+mpg at 18 years old. Keep us posted on the upgrades.
