Replying to: violin (Jun 19, 2006 2:47 pm) What about just the power pkg in NY area? If I can get the liftback w/o abs but WITH power, I would go for it, but I am finding that the problem is nowhere has the car, only w/o power. Where in PA did you go? I was thinking about heading down to the Phila area. The problem is that dealers will tell you that they have the car and when you get there they want to sell you the sedan. I went to 3 so far, all of which I would have to order the features I want with a 3 month wait. My current car might not wait that long, any further advice? I am willing to travel outside of tri state area. Thanks in advance. |

Mine also came with the cold weather package and keyless entry. The armrest is the only option I didn't want but I find that I like it. I wanted alloy wheels too but they aren’t shipping them anywhere near here. I ended up adding them on my own and they look much better than what Toyota was offering anyway (Konig Helium).  For whatever reason, our region is not getting the liftback with the power package. I wasn't comfortable in the Scion XA so I wouldn't have purchased one. If they're trying not to compete with the XA, they're doing something stupid. I nearly purchased a Honda Fit because I couldn't find a decently equipped Yaris Liftback. I hope I'm not violating forum rules by including a link to Central City Toyota in Philadelphia: http://www.centralcitytoyota.com I found them by checking the inventory of PA dealers online (those that would let me). My search showed Central City had one like I wanted. When I called them, they told me it was already sold but they had one just like it in port. I left a deposit over the phone and they called me when it arrived at the dealership (about two weeks). I took a train to 30th Street Station in Philly and the salesman picked me up. They were straight up and did everything they agreed to. I don't see one listed on their site now, but it probably wouldn’t hurt to give them a call. You might try searching inventories of other PA dealers. As far as dealers telling you they have one when they don't - I'd get a VIN # from them first. Good luck! |

Replying to: violin (Jun 20, 2006 7:34 am) Thanks, you gave me great information. I called that dealer - he said they HAD one, just sold. Said they will be getting more in, def with the power. He took my number, hopefully he'll call. Definitely making the trip - willing to pay MSRP. The guy in Staten Island, NY quoted me about $15,000 to order it (with power & abs). I thought that was way high, especially to have to wait 3 months. Crazy to even consider buying this car without ever driving it. Guess I'll just take your word for it. Thanks again, D |

Replying to: violin (Jun 20, 2006 7:34 am) Wednesday I am having aftermarket tweeters installed at a local stereo shop. Had all my windows tinted DARK. Only got 27.3 MPG in city driving on my 1st tank but not sure if my dealer topped off my tank like I did? Mike

Replying to: lucynethel (Jul 03, 2006 11:26 am) I also got 27 mpg on my first fillup. Big dissapointment. I dont th ink the dealer topped off the tank either but, it didnt matter because i averaged the total gallons put in (it was 10) to the total number of miles driven. Im hopeing for big improvements. Im in NYC so do only city driving as well and we have ethanol. IM still wondering if that makes a big enough difference. Good to see someone else with similiar numbers though. Seeing everyone getting 35 and higher city is really makeing me anxious. Good luck with y our car and cograts on getting an awesome deal (i paid full MSRP - 13,7 without alarm!) !

hello, I am now considering the yaris, after seriously considering the chevy aveo and the scion xA (still on my list!) but i am wondering about the acceleration. don,t get me wrong, i don't expect something like a caddy sts or a dodge viper here...  but i dont wanna be scared on the highway if i need to pass! how are you guys finding the driving on highways in your yaris? i dont really like to speed, i follow the 70 limit unless passing. i am not concerned about city driving, i am confident it is just perfect!! and i have to say, even though i am still to see one " in person" the yaris has to be the cutest little car on the market right now!! i love the audi TT and the yaris reminds me of it with all the round curves. blue bayou would be my pick! anyone got it in that kinda kaki green?

Replying to: cecirdr (May 13, 2006 6:52 pm)  $$$. I just ran into another Focus owner with the exact problem ~ so just be VERY cautious if you choose the Focus. It seems trouble free at first and then the problems come on like a tidal wave. Because of the Focus issues, I just purchased the Yaris Liftback and I love it! Great little car with the Toyota reliability ~ I've learned the lesson ~ you get what you pay for Best wishes.

Just got back from talking to a local dealer here in Toledo, OH. I told the salesman what I would like on a Yaris coupe. He worked everything up and told me that Toyota would probably be willing to build it as I wanted. He gave me a price of $14,120 which is MSRP right to the dollar. He told me it would take 3-5 weeks to get order acceptance from Toyota, then it should be on the lot in another 2-3. I asked him at what point in the "process" does the final price become cast in stone. He said, "The price I gave you will be the price of the car" and went on this schpiel about how there is only $400 profit in the car, etc. I said, "Oh, so if I offer you, say, $13,999 you're going to tell me to walk?" He said, "Don't waste your time and don't waste my time. We're the biggest dealer in NW Ohio and we sell a lot of cars. Toyota will do builds for us that they might not do for smaller dealers. You might go to a smaller dealer and get a lower price, but you might never see your car." I sure hate to think about paying MSRP, but I don't know whether I'll have any other choice if I want my Yaris the way I want it.
