Thanks, Mic. I hope you have real good luck with that Cobalt. I sure had no complaints with mine, except that I should have gotten the LT with all the power stuff and cruise control.
 
I expect to realize about 38 to 40 MPG with the Yaris, and I feel that the reliability factor is in favor of the Toyota vehicle when compared with the GM vehicle. I was getting 27 to 28 MPG with the Cobalt.
 
I didn't know how to factor the state of General Motors in all of this, but I feel "safer" owning a Toyota product.
 
I hope GM survives. I hope all of the Big Three survive. I'm nearly 60 years old, and I remember the glory days of the Big Three and the Muscle Car Era. The Big Three have been there my whole life, and it just wouldn't seem right without them. I am still grieving for Oldsmobile, my dad's favorite brand.

As a long time ECHO owner I have just joined the Yaris club. Its a black base auto Yaris. After driving an ECHO the Yaris seems a little bit big I guess I will get used to it.

i've gotton invoice minus 1000 rebate from all mpls dealers except walser (terrible one price policy there), and even under invoice when i've insisted. nikholm at burnsville toyota will refund dealer holdback giving $260 under invoice plus rebate on any model toyota car, not just yaris. i still dont know who to trust, had bad experience at walser. plus i have to decide whether to accept 14.9% 5 year financing because of a bankruptcy. they claim i can pay off loan early to save interest, but contract doesn't mention this, just says "no penalty for early payment". i dont want to pay 7000 in interest.

"No penalty for early payment" means you can pay off the loan early and save the remaining interest due.
 
What was your bad experience at Walser? I have dealt with them in the past (in particular with one of their most experienced reps, a "Master" sales rep) and always had a good experience, at least as far as the treatment I received from the people there. It appears from your comments that the "no haggle" kind of dealership is not for you. Walser is very up front about the fact that is how they do business, and in fact they highlight their "no haggle" policy in their ads. I guess they figure some folks like not having to negotiate, and know they will get the same price as anyone else who buys the same car from the dealership. If not, there are other Toyota dealers who will negotiate, as you have found.
 
Since you have to pay such a high interest rate, have you considered getting a lower-cost used car for now, to re-establish your credit and minimize your interest payments? Lots of good used cars out there now for around $8-10k.

Has anyone heard more on the issue of peeling paint?
 
I took my red 08 to dealer with same problem ohmygosh describes.
The are going to repaint but I am concerned that they seem to have no interest in finding cause. How common is peeling paint on yaris?

Wow, that's pretty crazy. Historically, Toyota has had problems with red paint for some reason, but I certainly wouldn't expect it on a modern car. No problems with our 08.

The backlog of unsold Yaris's is huge...like 180 days worth. Its a buyers market if there ever was one. So keep the lines of communitcation with the dealer open even if they reject your offer. They may have no other choice but to accept your offer.
