Even if I had another car - I would probably keep my Yaris just in case. You never know your fortunes in life and you might need it one day. I got mine when I was making £6.50/hr. She got me through some hard times. I think it would be jinxing myself if I sold it.

Worst case scenario I can take the insurance off of it and just let it sit, starting it every once in a while.
It seems to have more value to me than what I would get for it if I sold it. All of the clearcoat is dead, the interior is not in the best shape from me carrying tons of music gear back when I was a more active musicians, and it has 180k on it. I'd be lucky to get 1500 bucks for it where I live.

Well, I was actually prepping the car for putting it up for sale but I ran into a few random issues and then gas prices started to go up with the pipeline being hacked + summer travel increasing.
For now I'm going to hold onto it. Filling up my truck costs like 50 USD right now and there's a chance I could be returning to the office for work sometime in the next few months. Random issues I found lately- There's a leak somewhere on the passenger side, I think it's the door weather stripping but I have not been able to track it down. I found some wet spots and mold in the passenger floorboard and cleaned them up. I checked the plugs under the car and they seem fine. Also my front speakers just stopped working randomly. I had been having a lot of issues with my head-unit for years, including the CD player thinking a CD was loaded all the time even if one wasn't. I actually noticed the front speakers not working right before I unboxed a replacement OEM headunit. I put in the new HU and now I can listen to CDs but need to spend some time checking connections to figure out why the front speakers gave up on life! Time has been limited lately as we're redoing a barn at the back of our property, but should be finishing that up soon then I can move some of the junk from my garage back to the barn and finally start working on cars again!

Noice that you're keeping it. Bummer about the leak and speakers/head unit. I have an OEM CD/MP3 unit in my closet that I'll never use again and would be willing to part with for very cheap, if interested. I can totally understand taking the opportunity to replace it with something better, though.

$50USD to fill? Must be nice, at $1.30/L its about $125CAD to fill my F150 from dead empty. Glad its not a daily driver and only gets filled once a month at most with this whole pandemic stuff.

That is insane. If gas ever gets that high here I might just go buy a 90s ford festiva or something.

Well, I added my daughter to our insurance and my wife's car and my truck both need new tires. Decided to go ahead and put the Yaris up on marketplace and see if there was any interest.
There was a lot of interest and I ended up selling it yesterday less than 12 hours after I listed it. I will miss the car and I would certainly consider getting another one in the future to do the 2ZR swap, but now I am going to focus on getting my Z31 back on the road and maintaining the other cars in the fleet. I'll still be around here, though...mostly to keep up with the big projects going on and helping to answer any maintenance questions if I can. Cheers yaris fam!
