2007 Yaris-only 35,000 miles on the clock

First time poster. I'm just after agreeing to buy a 2007 yaris with only 35k on the clock, for 5700 Euro. Keep in mind that cars are a lot more expensive in Ireland. Car is in showroom condition. Owned by a nun that barely drove it. Think I've got a great deal!

SOunds like it. Here in the States cars on C list are usually trashed anymore.

Good luck with it!

Wow! What a find! When I saw the thread title, my first thought was....Does it really have 35k on the odometer? Then I read your post. Given the occupation of the previous owner....likely a safe bet that that is the true odometer reading .

And I've had a mechanic friend of mine look at it in great detail. He said he couldn't find anything wrong with it and there's a full service history, confirming the accuracy of the mileage. It's in showroom condition. And just to top it off, it has four new tyres! I'll post photos when I pick it up.

I think you'll thoroughly enjoy driving it around your beautiful country.

Very nice find. I thought I was doing well with only 56k on my '07. Only 35k is fantastic.

So far so good with the car anyway. Will post some photos at the weekend. Feels like driving a new car and I'm treating it as if it's a new car....like not letting my girlfriend start filling the pockets with junk!

Are you actually buying off the nun?or is that the story the seller is giving you?Take it to a certified mechanic for an inspection before you buy it.as sometimes deals that sound too good to be true generally are.

Yeah I had a mechanic who is a friend of mine look at it. He spent an hour and a half going over it with a fine tooth comb, intent on finding something wrong with it. He didn't!
