Wow. If my water pump goes out would I be able to duplicate that low cost for the part? I guess I mean, was it at a parts store, or was it a one time opportunity for that particular situation (Craigslist, etc.)?

But the pulley and the blades inside begin to rattle or loosen causing the water pump to fail on you... It was like 25$ for the insert that you replace, with the gasket. See: The pulley wheel that the serpentine belt goes on, attaches to the triangle wheel with holes on it. The other 6 holes mount up to the water pump housing. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...ord=water+pump If that link works, it'll show you the price... Loosening the bolts on the pulley wheel was hard, but the rest of it was downhill. I'd never pay someone to do that for me. Really the only thing I'd complain about is expensive reoccurring parts that I can't do in my driveway/street. Example: Transmission. EDIT: Yeah the yaris one is 40$ and it's the exact same set up almost: |

Also, split rear seats and fwd/backward adjustable rear seat, giving you a very flat cargo area when folding down the rear seats are only available in the 5 door, which did not exist until 2009. And my 07? Manual window cranks, outside mirrors that can only be adjusted from OUTSIDE, and cruise control and keyless entry were dealer installed and not even available as factory option. |

ct_scott sells the factory cruise control stalk for $40 shipped - you can always hit him up.

Accessory Belt @ 180K, spark plugs way past 100K and oil changes roughly every 5000 miles
FYI: my LB is at 227K and is an automatic, I drive 100miles+ mon-fri and this bad boy runs strong!

How long have your tires lasted on average and how many MPG do you get?

^^^ well hard to answer Ive had five sets of wheels, but the two sets of 15" drag wheels/tires did much better than the tires my 17" 5zigens or TRD 18's, but overall the tires do last quite a bit and i have a stock set which are like new..mileage is good mid to high 30's easy, but never really kept track.

i have an 07 lb auto 58,000 miles on it. only regular oil changes, tires last year thats all.i get about 38 mpg in the summer with no a/c on, drops to about 35 mpg with it on. i have the split folding rear seats that do lie flat and always have the rear seats down to make a nice large area for my 87 pound labrador. probably will spring for a new battery before winter just for my own peace of mind. trouble free basically so far
