Soon To Be Behind The Wheel Of A New Yaris!

[ZeroTM]

*sigh*

Alas, only a week ago, my beautiful car, a 2003 Cadillac CTS, died on me. It was time to go out and look for a new car. After roaming dealership to dealership, I quickly figured my next best option would actually be a fuel economic car (considering the recent news that gas *may* go up an additional $3/gallon by the end of the year).

After looking over my options, I ended narrowing my choices down to the Hyondai Accent (surprisingly roomy!), the VW Rabbit (surprisingly peppy!), and the Toyota Yaris. Much recearch ensued.

Once everything was said and done, I decided to go for the Flint Mica Yaris! No problem, right? I was dealing with a local dealership with the paperwork ready to roll tomorrow morning. They e-mailed me this afternoon, and said they sold it out from under me. WHAT!?! .. I called around, and everyone had the same story, "Sorry, we just sold our last Flint Mica today/yesterday." .. .. OMG WHAT!? ..

I called everywhere in Northern, Central, and Southern Virginia. I found ONE. I begged the guy to hold it for me. Finally, it looks like my plans are all in set. Tomorrow morning, I *hope* to be a proud owner of a 2007 Flint Mica Toyota Yaris!!

Okay, so I'm venting.. I'm good..........

Regardless, I'm stuck with ye ole` base model. The dealership is getting stuff ready to throw on Cruise Control (At $700.. Is that a good price??) and Power Door Locks (At $750!? .. I think that's a bit steep).

It's a shame at the same time, as the Yaris out in Slovakia has nearly every feature my CTS had. Power seats, power locks, power windows, power mirrors, digital speedometer, digital tachometer, digital A/C controls, steering wheel controls, the list goes on. AND to top it off, they have the 4-door lift back unit. *sigh* .. Why oh why does Toyota US toy with my emotions like this!?
