Well KBB has a listing for the 08 now....... you should be able to get colse to what you paid and if gas goes back up ..... you will.

If you like doing stuff to your car (mods), keep the Yaris. Buying and selling cars ever year or so gets real expensive. If you buy a more expensive car, you might not have the money for new wheels or anything else.

What different car are you thinking of?

Pitt Yaris · 12-03-2008, 10:38 PM

well, i like the yaris, but if i wanted it to look good....i would need to buy wheels, bodykit, tint, lowering springs. i might hold on to the yaris, but by the time i do all those, i might be better off selling it for 14k or so and getting something along the lines of a honda civic

Are these mods cheaper or not necessary on a Civic?
Around here Civics are quite a bit more expensive than a Yaris.

was quoted $11,500 over the phone for our base model '08 automatic sedan that's Barcelona Red and has less than 6,000 miles

. What an insult !!! We bought the car in the middle of MAY for $13,950 . That's quite a hit . The dealer quoted " since there's a $1,000 rebate that makes your car $1,000 less for trade "

. So I said " Huh ? No way ! I'll take our business elsewhere ! "

. These people must think we're all dumb as rocks

. Might as well bend over in the showroom and take the position

. NOT SURE WE WANT TO GO THROUGH ALL THE

AGAIN . Just hold onto the YARISes we have . We had our hopes up for possibly getting an '09 5 door Liftback

.

Any hope of getting top dollar for your car involves selling it yourself. The crooks at GO Dealerships in Colorado were offering 125% of KBB value. Sounds good, however, they charged a $1,500 maintaince/service fee on the trade ins.
