Potential Yaris owner, some questions

[#87]

Hah, I'd be willing to travel to kentucky for a lifetime powertrain. Question is, will all Toyota dealers honor it or is it for that specific dealer?

I'm leaning toward 3 door with the power package w/additional upgrades (as per the toyota yaris builder thingy) which is MSRP just under 15k including delivery. I think i could improve hauling space by removing the seats? Are there any pictures of what it looks like with the rear seats removed?

I'm researching now but I won't be getting anything new for 8 months to a year =[ My car was hit but a drunk running a red. I think it should have been totaled but it wasn't. Vibrates horribly at idle with AC running and the shop replaced the mounts with OEM and said nothing else they can do. I'm mad too I just started getting some nice mods on it.

Not liking the interior fabric of the Yaris but I would just get some seat covers and call it a day.

Who knows. I have an extended warranty on the powertrain (5 years) because it was part of the deal when I bought my Yaris under the certified program. (I bought mine used, there was no sale or 0% financing at the time, and MT Yarii were so rare, they were flying off the lots back then).

Personally, I think there is always room for negotiation, especially now that Cash for Clunkers is over and sales of new cars are expected to drop.

You should read the thread "why do I want one so bad" (it's in the new yaris forum, not hard to find) there is some pretty good stuff on negotiating the new car price at the dealership.

Nobody on the forum I think, really likes the interior fabric, it's cheap and doesn't look very sturdy, but the Yaris has many other positive points, sometimes you gotta take the good with the bad.

I think you really get your money's worth, with a Yaris.
