Wish I'd seen this earlier.

You could have gotten MT and ID off your bucket-list; and saved $4k on a Gen3.

Mine.

Enjoy. Elsewhere, someone commented how Yaris sales are dropping as Yaris owners are getting older and young people are not being recruited. Well, that's me...frankly, at my age, I'm tired of driving. Delighted I'm only going four miles in to work. And a Yaris isn't what I need anymore.

Enjoy these quality small cars while they're still around.

The 'buy new, well built, and inexpensive....and drive it until it has depreciated to zero or near zero' philosophy has worked well for me for a long time. I guess I'm just too much like my late grandfather when it coms to driving. When he started his business (in the early 1930's), he made his brother (and only sibling) a junior partner. From the time my mother and my aunt were in college (and living on campus) until the late 1970s, my grandfather would leave the business in his brother's capable hands and my grandparents would spend 1-3 months a year on trips, driving around the U.S., Canada, and Mexico (my grandfather was afraid to fly and also didn't like being suspended over ground (think: chairlift)). After college, my mother (my aunt had already married) accompanied them on some of the trips...but she never did any driving. In later years, my aunt and uncle also took many such trips...and my aunt (who's also like my grandfather in this regard) did much of the driving.

I received a refund check today for $312.77 re the purchase of my 2014 Yaris. The check came from the dealer (I would have e-mailed the dealership about this had I not received a check within the next few days). The amount the dealer ended up having to pay government tax + titling authorities (Tax-Florida, Titling-Texas) ended up being less than they originally charged me (detail = today's post# 118 on Yaris Sales Hit a New Low thread). So...my out the door price ended up being $15,677.23 (not $15,990).
