Yaris Pricing Question

[YarisOwnersDad]

If this will help anyone, here's the deal I helped my son get on his Yaris. I'm not saying it was a "killer deal," just putting this out as information that may help other buyers.

As you can see, the sticker was $16,514. We got the dealer to come down to $200.00 over invoice, which lowered the price from $16,514 to $15,755. Yes, we were shown the invoice. Toyota contributed the $1000 rebate, bringing the price down to $14,755.

Of course, there was the "rip-off fee" that all dealers charge and call the "processing fee," or some other name. In this case, it was $199.50. Sales tax was $885.30, and license and transfer fee was $35.00.

I really like the option package that this car had. OK, my son could have done without the $150 carpeted floor mats, but they do look really nice, and the word "Yaris" is stitched into the fabric in the corners, which is pretty classy.

I think this will be a great little car, and I have the itch to get one for myself, but my Cobalt is only about nine months old, so it is not a good time for me to be trading. Besides, I do like the Cobalt a lot.

Hope this information is useful to folks.

God bless.

Hey, you live really close to me! I'm in Muhlenberg County.

Anyway, I can see Hudson is doing the same thing the Hopkinsville dealership did to me. Yes, they showed you a piece of paper that said "Invoice" at the top with a Toyota logo, but is it a real invoice? Nope. Invoice price for a new base sedan is about $14,500.

You still got a good deal, though.

Hi, Twit! I am also in Muhlenberg County! COOL!

What I posted was just a copy of the window sticker, not the invoice.

According to Emunds.com, the invoice price would have been $15,386 without the carpeted floor mats and the bumper protection. For some reason Edmunds does not show those options when you price a Yaris with options. So, if Hudson was showing me $15,555 as invoice, they were probably being honest.
