Can anyone add more info about the water pump issue? Wasn't this more of a problem with the earlier models?

I was under the impression that the 2009 refresh mostly corrected that issue, among others, that were prevalent with the 2007-2008 Yaris.

Personally, I'm not a fan of any auto warranty that requires you to visit a non-dealership and use low-cost aftermarket parts for the repair instead of OEM. Also, CarMax sells some nice used cars but they are usually priced at or over the highest range for KBB "Certified Used Car Prices".

I'm not aware of this...possibly because I never concerned myself with water pump issues because the watger pump never went out on my 2007 . Could you be thinking about the alternator? The 2007 Yaris (and some 2008s ?) had a faulty voltage regulator (which is inside the alternator in a Yaris).....suffered from corrosion?....IIRC, and it is my understanding this was corrected by 2009. The alternator on my 2007 conked out at just over 159,000 miles, and a re-manufactured OEM one that replaced it in 2010 is still in the car.
