My Yaris is going to a new home

[tk1971]

Ode to my Yaris:

It's been almost 2 years, and my used 08 Yaris 3-door hatchback gave me rock-solid dependable service while providing me with basic comfort and safety.

I've been reading about the recent open season on Yaris's (lost at least a couple last week alone), and I decided to quit while I was ahead.

The car was bought with the sole intention of squirreling away some money (insurance, gas, and maintenance) until something else caught my eye.

The little Yaris got 40.9 MPG and only required oil changes. It did it's job and I got back 77% of the used purchase price after adding 30,000 miles to the odometer. It went back to Carmax, where I bought it.

I couldn't be more happy. I just wish I had the space to keep it, but the Expedition is our weekend/recreational vehicle (with extended family trips) and the wife refuses to learn stick shift.

This forum has been great. I'm planning to stick around some more because one can never stop learning.

Thanks all.

Tony
