I don’t think the price will drop. I was coming back into town last night on a 3 lane interstate. I decided to get into the middle lane at the same time as a F150. I did a good job with the pit maneuver on the truck until it drove right over my hood. I hit 2 dealers and have called 8 of them within 200 miles of me and I can find a total of six 09 HB 3 door; there is only one 09 5 door.

The gas prices just went up 13 cents and were coming up on a 6 cent gas tax. And to add insults to all of us the ethanol companies are pushing to change the law to E85 and no one is standing up to stop it.

If the price dose anything I think it will go up soon. Were looking on $4.00 gas soon…

I guess it depends on your demographics as well. I bought my Yaris for $14K and that's because my wife's uncle is a next door neighbor and friend of the dealership owner. They can't keep the Yaris on the lot. There is NO WAY a Yaris is selling for less than sticker at this dealership.

I had an Accent. It was about 6 years old and needed brakes, the brake disc was integrated to the hub. A $50 brake job was $1000 in parts doing it yourself. Took it to the scrap yard and got $200 for a 60k mile car, never again will I buy a Hyandai.



Really I believe with the economy the $12k Yaris I just bought will be selling for $9k in the fall. The Japanese have very low margins and can recovery thru bad times by slashing prices.


Hell I just bought a hooker who was an unemployed Registered Nurse! If an RN can't get a real job we are near a great depression.

Don't judge Hyundai based on the 1st gen (assumed by age) Accent. Hyundai was still junk back then, but they are now among the highest rated in quality/reliability. The new Accent is very well built and a nice car.

Well, the ball types are considered cheaper and sometimes gets criticized in more expensive cars.

Its amazing to be watching the entire auto industry crashing, I am still seriously thinking toyota will have deep discounts once the tax returns run out.

FYI, a 2006 toyota ECHO is STILL going for around $6000 (remember, this is the Yaris' daddy)

good luck finding a new Yaris for $9000 ;)
