looks can be deceiving though. im going to try to get it checked out by a mechanic before i fork over the dough, but it will be nice to be armed with more info first, and so it's great to hear opinions of people who really know the yaris inside and out

is it the spoiler that means it's probably an S type, like a corolla? do yaris's not have the S on the back next to the model name?

You might want to do a search here, there was a thread called "would you get a former rental" or something kind of like that a couple of months ago.
