#426 of 587 Re: Toyo of Hollywood, Florida Buying Experience [mojeo] by blackyaris2007 Dec 30, 2006 (7:44 am)
Replying to: mojeo (Dec 29, 2006 9:53 pm) Hi, they tried to steer me in that direction (base model Corolla). Also tried the Scion XB ($$$). I don't like Corollas at all. In FL they are EVERYWHERE....like grass. The Corolla style needs a makeover like ASAP! Don't know how they are going to because the Yaris sedan looks like it could be the makeover Corolla. I have wanted a hatchback for years after I had such great success with the 93 Hyundai Excel (138K trouble free when traded).
#427 of 587 Paid little above invoice- certainly not msrp by charlotteboy Jan 01, 2007 (6:43 pm)
Replying to: mrrk47 (Oct 05, 2006 12:35 pm) Got my 4 door auto Yaris 2 weeks back- don't have the breakup now but out of door was 14800. includes convenience package, power locks and power windows. Could have negotiated for a few hundred more but really had to get a new car as had wrecked my old one.   So far having a great time driving it although engine noise and acceleration is a constant problem. Gas mileage really helps as I drive 100 miles daily.

Replying to: want_a_yaris (Jan 06, 2007 11:14 am) Well, you got it didn't you? I wouldn't feel too bad about paying full price for a Yaris. It wasn't too many months ago that there was little choice. Some were even selling above MSRP. Some people are reporting getting better deals now. But, not everywhere on every model. I paid full price for my liftback, too. But, I needed it ASAP and got EXACTLY what I ordered. No regrets here.
#430 of 587 financing questions by rosebags Jan 06, 2007 (1:41 pm)
I'm going to be buying a Yaris L/B--and wondered if I wait for a couple of months would it be possible to buy a used one? Were any Yaris L/Bs used as rental cars this first year? (I'm looking for the fully loaded automatic.) I live in Colorado---anybody out there who lives in this area and can tell me if it's possible to pay less than MSRP these days? Also, is it possible to buy all/part of the car using my credit card? (I would then use my line of credit to pay off the credit card instantly---just wanted to get my air miles....) Is that a crazy idea? The finance dept at the Toyota dealership said it was illegal---can't make a loan to pay a loan.... but I'm wondering if there is a way around that.... any ideas? Thanks.

Replying to: rosebags (Jan 06, 2007 1:41 pm) Most car dealerships won't accept a credit card to buy a car.   And the TRAC Yarii were all loaded sedan automatics. If you could settle for a sedan, many dealers including my local one, will have a good supply of used ones any day now. They are all power package/alloys.
#432 of 587 thought I'd settle, but I love it! by janebjones Jan 07, 2007 (2:20 pm)
I originally ordered a red/black/or blazing blue yaris hatchback with power package manual in early November. I was told I'd have to wait for 6-8 weeks. I kept calling the dealership and they'd say that they were still looking. By Christmas, I was very anxious when they still had not located one. Then I went out to my car ('96 Corolla) and it wouldn't shift! I had burned out the clutch. I knew I had to find a yaris quick! Then two days later, my boyfriend's truck's master cylinder went out. Since it was Christmas time, no one could work on our cars. I really didn't want to put more money into my car anyway since I was about to get a new one... We rented a car and drove from OK to TX to visit our families. I went with my dad to Fred Hass Toyota in Houston and got a red automatic hatchback Yaris with the normal two packages (conv. and extended tires) that I see on most of the Yaris cars. I really thought I was settling since I had to get an automatic without the power package, but I loooooove it! My boyfriend drove back our rental car and I drove back my new "baby" that I named "Little Red Rocket". So cute!!!! I had plenty of time to get to know my new car on the long drive back. I look forward to driving it every morning. Since I have a 40 minute commute in rush hours both ways, I have to admit that the automatic is super nice! I am so happy to be a member of the Yaris family finally!

Replying to: rosebags (Jan 06, 2007 1:41 pm) The dealership I purchased from allowed me to use my credit car for a portion($2000 or $2500, can't remember which)of my LB Yaris. Here's a thought. What about using one of those nasty checks that the credit card company sends? That's not a credit card and I wrote a (regular) check for the balance of my price in order to pay it in full. I don't know the costs involved with using the credit company's check and it probably won't be worth the air miles you get, but check it out. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jan 08, 2007 9:22 am)

Replying to: webshaf (Jan 08, 2007 8:30 am) Most of those credit-card "convenience" checks come with an automatic 3% fee.. More than eating up your rewards points..   Most dealers cap credit card payments at $2K-$5K..
#435 of 587 Seems like it went too smooth... by himitdi Jan 13, 2007 (4:25 pm)
After test driving some vehicles, we decided on a Yaris to replace a rusty but trusty Toyota Pickup. It would have to be a lift back with package B and automatic transmission.   The sticker tag on these cars was 13,689 on models equipped with an armrest. (a must have... I test drove one without... and it was driving me crazy.)   We found a white one at the local dealer, who wasn't interested in haggling. We tried a dealer in a nearby town, and found that he had a absolutely red one and a black one... he said he would dicker, but wouldn't give us a price. "Come back with your best price, and I'll beat it..."   We traveled to the dealer in our nearby city... who had been advertising the car we wanted for 12,995 and he had a blazing blue one and two silver ones. We wanted blazing blue, but weren't too picky. I called the dealer I had been at previously, he said he could do the red one for 12,700.   I mentioned this to the dealer I was at, hoping he would want to beat thier price, trying not to let on that we'd pay the same or more for the blue one and he took the bait. 12,550 if we took delivery on the 15th. He said he only sells 1 or 2 yarises a month, so he's happy to deal on them. Trucks apparently are his bread and butter.   The price and explination sounded reasonable to me, so we got the ball rolling on the deal. How's it sound to you guys? What should I beware of? I see people are paying MSRP for these things, so I'm worried that they'll try and screw me on something else. I'm not buying Rust Protection for such a cheap car, and I don't think I'll need an extended warrantee for a Toyota.   This whole thing just seems too easy!
