Changing oil in new Yaris that sat on dealer lot for >9 months.

Hi Matti,

I think that's really a great price. Good for you. Reason I ask is that when my
nephew graduates in a few years, I'm thinking of giving him my Yaris and buying
for myself a new 5 speed manual Yaris, which is what I always wanted, anyway. I
regret buying the automatic. Who knows if the Yaris will be in production when he
graduates, but I do hope it is and man I'd love to get a 5 speed Yaris for what you paid
for yours. Good job.

That sounds like a great plan for you and your nephew.

I wasn't necessarily looking for a new car at the time, but I got whiff of the price on this car and I haggled them down a bit. I think they just wanted to get rid of it. Also, like you, I'm not 100% sure that there will be a stripped-down, 5 (or 6?)-speed stick Yaris available in a few years, at least in the U.S. market.
