going to buy a yaris, need your help/opinion

[Ferret_san]

Ummm.... Good luck trying to find a 2nd hand Yaris with the saftey pack.
Car market may be different in Sydney, but up here in God's country, I tried for 3 months to find one in similar spec but ended up having to do buy new and had to get one ordered from Japan (= 3 month wait).

The other factor for me was that the Yaris tends to hold its resale value extremely well, and 2nd hand 05's were starting for around $13,500 upwards. Not good value when I only paid $16,500 new on road with saftey pack.

Good hunting.


EDIT: On the differences between the '05, '06 and '07 you might like to use http://www.redbook.com.au as a reference point.
