First Yaris Purchase - Low Mileage 2007 Yaris
Hello all, my name is Lukethecoder, and I'm a student at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville studying computer science.
I recently discovered my love of the Toyota Yaris, and found a nice little beauty that only has 66K miles on it! The only issue is the clear coat is peeling off (which I've heard is a common issue for the first generation Yaris, is this true?). I wanted your opinions on it, given that I am brand new to the world of the Toyota Yaris. Here is a link to the Craigslist posting of the car: https://knoxville.craigslist.org/cto...257515854.html Also, if anyone happens to have a Carfax subscription, could you run the Carfax on the car for me? I'd hate to buy a subscription to look up one car... The VIN is JTDJT923075058811. I appreciate your input! |

Thing should last damn near forever. If it checks out okay I say go for it. My 06 Scion xA (same platform) has 278,000 hard miles on it and runs great.

Use the clear coat to your advantage to take a bunch of cash off the asking price. Them grab some 2 stage clear coat in a rattle can and sand off the old clear coat to put down the new stuff.
It will take some time but it will last a long time

Well it may not look as nice but it will run forever. If you're worried about the appearance you can repaint it.
