Replacing my Yaris, But how much for the old one?

[fidgell]

WOW what a mixed response.

Thanks to the helpful folk here, I was thinking around the $9500CAD so not far off the mark.

Im not looking at a new RS, probably an LE but need 5 doors now, still HB though as we have a little one and one more on the way so need easier access to the back seat. I also have medical issues that hinder my mobility and its not easy crawling into the back to put the baby in the seat.

As for the insults, the grow up comment.... Think its not ME that needs THAT advice! Its a pity some spoil it for the decent people on here.

You just want a new car, no matter what.

And of course my response spoils it for you...after all, my words are wisdom and wisdom always spoils the acts of a fool ;-)

Keep your current car and be exceedingly happy...be mindful of your little one's future.

Sorry, your response spoils nothing. I need a more practical version of my current car. FACT

As for your response.... you just come across as a bit of of moron, why would that bother ME?!

Thanks to everybody else. Im doing the figures to see whats the best way forward, either that or I have to feed the babies in through the parcel shelf!!!

might be best to trade for an 06 5dr LE and pay the difference in value...problem is selling your car yourself vs trading it in and saving the tax on what your car is worth as a trade-in

say you can get 8000 for your trade in, a 5dr LE would be about 11,000 for instance, you only have to pay 3000$ + 13% tax....so 3390

crud, i didnt even see that you said that

i was considering doing the same thing since our daughter is now out of the removable car seat and into a fixed rear-facing seat....its really impossible to get her in/out easily (luckily we have an aveo sedan)

if you've only got the one car, id go for the swap, because until your child is 1yr old, you have to have him/her rear facing....

i looked to swap to a 5dr, but it just wasnt worth it....we can stick it out until our daughter in 1, if need be, since we have a second car that works for us.

since we have a 3dr w/o air conditioning and pw/pl ours is pretty base and not worth that much as a trade-in. i found a low km 07 5dr w/a 5spd for about 12k which was a great deal....but i couldnt swallow the 3-4000 id spend "upgrading" to a 5dr....

ideally your RS would carry enough residual value to swap for something also used....unless you really really want new....finance rates are still low, arent they?
