#410 of 596 Final Price paid with options listed by ulthipster Nov 23, 2006 (5:11 am)
Hi all. Thought I'd post what I just paid and for what.... We had a fantastic salesman and love the whole Toyota Dealership he is at... If you are in the area..... check out Toyota of Nashua (NH)...   14,110.00 (includes destination charge) (7500 of that was a vw golf trade-in)   Bayou Blue, manual, liftback, all weather guard pkg and power pkg with keyless entry, floor mats, rear bumper protector and a theft deterrent system.   When I register my car in Mass. I'll have to pay 330.50 sales tax.   I don't know what luck anyone will have as far as price negotiations as these cars are in high demand and come into the dealerships pre-ordered. But good luck!
#411 of 596 Mud Flaps??? by ulthipster Nov 23, 2006 (5:12 am)
I didn't get my Yaris with them but am wondering if I should buy them and install myself? Who uses them and are they really worth getting? Replies to this message: robertkn (Nov 23, 2006 8:50 am)

Replying to: ulthipster (Nov 23, 2006 5:12 am) You can definitely install them yourself, although you will have to remove the wheel to do so. They aren't real big, but anything that helps keep your fenders from getting "sand blasted" is worth while.   It's great to hear that your car came in ahead of schedule. That is a very pleasant kind of surprise!

Replying to: forrestshalom (Nov 22, 2006 9:18 pm) People who sell cars have to make profit somewhere. I knew a salesman who was selling cars because he was temporarily laid-off from his chosen career. Some people esp. the front line, low level salesmen need to make a good profit on a sale just to make ends meet. If you walk out I don't think they care...Toyotas will sell , if not you the guy who walks in after you....I think you are....not a nice person...my opinion. Also, don't adress me as "people" and I got a few hundred off msrp for my yaris......huh!!!!!!!!!! Replies to this message: ulthipster (Nov 25, 2006 5:49 am)

Replying to: forrestshalom (Nov 22, 2006 9:21 pm) $9k? I don't go quite that low. Unless they want to sell it to me for that.   I have just gotten a second offer for invoice + $150. If it is legit, that's the best I've seen so far.   In any case, depends on how much debt I want. I may end up with a decent used car instead and have it paid in cash, who knows?

#416 of 596 Fabu Car ! by ulthipster Nov 25, 2006 (5:53 am)
To all you Yaris "people"... I love my new baby! I'm still getting used to the difference in the clutch from my Golf but that's cool. I was worried about the cupholders not working with my water bottle and tea cup but the dealership gave me 2 travel mugs that work great! Anyone else have an issue with the center rear seatbelt hanging down in front of the rear windshielf? I can't figure out how it stays up in the slot.... even with manual in hand!

Replying to: ulthipster (Nov 25, 2006 5:53 am) Hi, I noticed you are trying to get used to the clutch. Well, I am too and I was wondering what I am doing wrong. I keep letting it die when I try to take off. Am I supposed to press the gas earlier or later than an older model clutch car? My husband says if you barely press the clutch you can change gears but I feel like I should press the clutch all the way to the floor. Help! can you give me some input. I have been driving a 5 speed manual for over 20 years and I can't seem to get this one right.

Replying to: iluvvera (Nov 25, 2006 6:36 am) If the car dies, give it more gas when taking off from a stop... As you get used to the clutch and throttle, you'll be able to back off the gas some...     Push the clutch in far enough to shift without grinding the gears... Lower gears might need the clutch pushed in a little farther... Just experiment and see what feels right. You won't hurt the car by pushing the clutch in all the way.. and you should definitely do that when at rest. Replies to this message: ulthipster (Nov 25, 2006 2:34 pm) mcdawgg (Nov 29, 2006 7:44 am)

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 25, 2006 9:28 am) That sounds about right, but as iluvvera said, I too have driven over 20 years on a stick and it's definitely a different balancing act with the clutch/gas. It's a fun challenge but I'm trying to really break it in right so the other day I kept stalling on a hill and revving the car to catch the clutch... when I push the clutch all the way in it sounds like I'm hitting the gas before I even do... very interesting.
