from experience, the day your drove off the lot, the cars price dropped about 25-35%...

Sorry you are trading in. But why didn't you get what you wanted (such as power windows, locks, auto) when you purchased? Of course it is more money and will be on any other car you end up purchasing. Good luck.

As a suggestion, go to Edmunds or Kelly Blue Book and they will give you numbers for a trade in or direct sell by you.

If you didn't pay in cash, I'd bet you haven't even covered the gap yet.
What was your down payment?

If your friends aren't telling you to just rough it out with this car for now, they're not your friends.

The yaris for my family has become somewhat redundant so its now my 'toy' more or less. I looked into selling it and the lots around here are totally not interested, regardless of what they may or may not be willing to give me for it. I just paid just under 18k cash in november and they said maybe 13k maybe less - we have Yaris overload around here, at least on the lots. If its financed just try and get someone to take over payments, if not then sell it private cause the dealer will have you bent over so quick you wont know what happened.

60 Somethings · 03-15-2007, 04:49 PM

Wait until gas gets over $3.00/Gal. You should have some private parties get very interested at that point.

FYI: Normally, buying a new car and selling it after only 6 months is NOT a money making proposition - as you are finding out.

gas here in Sac is already over 3 bucks. the Chevron down from my house is $3.13, for regular!

All it took for me was the first semi warm day of the year a few days ago and I got bored of the Yaris really quick. LOL

I say you should trade it in now before it loses any more value.

Snake · 03-15-2007, 09:07 PM

I feel the same way, I got bored with it...
Anyone want to buy mine? cant look up the car value on kbb.com either so I dont even know what its worth
check my for sale threads if anyone interested

ECHOKnight2000 · 03-15-2007, 09:47 PM

Wow this is unfortunate...it seems there was so much excitement from this car now its like whatever...I guess people have different expectations, which is a give in. Is the Yaris really that "bad" that you're having buyers remorse? I'd say pan it out a little and see where you end up...sometimes you might surprise yourself...not to bash anyone but did you ever wonder that if you get another car you might get "bored" with that too? Obviously something new especially a car will exciting and at times you'll be like oh I wish I had that car or this car or more power but I think that if you wait you might be like maybe I'll stick with it. Everyone's different so obviously it depends on you and you're situation. Oh well, we all have our quirks.

foober · 03-15-2007, 10:19 PM

considering there is a line of folks waiting to get a yaris I'd have to think a yaris at a huge discount shouldn't be that hard to sell. Is yours a liftback or sedan. Liftbacks are next to impossible to get.

Snake · 03-15-2007, 10:30 PM
