He got a Yaris "S" Sedan in Barcelona Red w/ power package and Manual Transmission and beige interior. We didn't dicker about the price as they are in high demand, so our OTD costs inc TTL and fees was $16453. Tax really rips you off, it was more than $1k. We put $2k down and financed the rest at 6.7% interest. We had locked in the finance rate when we put a deposit down 7 weeks ago, but when we went into the finance office, the rate was unexpectedly raised to 6.9% I was very firm about getting it corrected, and since we were in an awful rush to get out of there, the finance guy changed it back without any argument.
Overall, we were happy with our experience. This is our first brand new car, so we were happy that it really was brand new, with less than 10 miles on it. Not including the 7 week waiting period, we only spent 2 hours in the dealership, I think. Our salesman was very laid back and tried to accommodate us. He didn't try to sell us options we didn't want nor a more expensive car.
The only downside was that we thought we were getting 15" alloy wheels and when we took possession, there were the steel wheels w/covers on the car. Turns out there are 2 power packages and we weren't told there was a choice. The difference in price between the two was about $900, but we can have the dealer swap the wheels for $650, I think. We aren't going to, but my DH was pretty mad that it wasn't made clear since the alloys were in the brochure and online as part of the power package.
I feel ripped off about the extended warranty/tires warranty
packages..althoug I read the back of the policies and I can cancel them as long as is not 30 days old..well I got my yaris a week ago....should go ahead and cancel them ? .its more than 2 grand for both...please advice.
thank you.

$16318.58 TOTAL DRIVE OUT
We are looking to purchase the car before the end of the month. The above dealer also threw in a $100 gas card if we bought our car from them. We do not have a trade-in, and we are located in the Dallas area.
So we got a call back from a different dealer and he asked what price would it take for us buy the Yaris Sedan from him. If the total drive out price (includes tax, title, and tags) is $16,318 from the first dealer, how much should I tell the second dealer to take off the $16,318?
All suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks so much!

If several thousands dollars are worth a hour or so of your time. For many people it isn't.
Start with Dealer Cost. Which is (approximately):
=================================================
Invoice (find this on many places)
Minus Factory Holdback (~2-4%) Usually 2% on Toyotas.
Minus Factory to Dealer Incentives (check Edmunds, Cars.com, etc...)
Minus Consumer Rebates
ADD destination charge (a legitimate charge)
Minus Factory Floorplan Fee.
= Dealer Cost.
Factor in fair dealer profit (say 3-5%)
Include sales tax.
That's your offering price.
All other Fees are NOT legit and should be renamed "more dealer profit."
If the dealer doesn't want a fair offer, then either
1) the car is truly in high demand (NONE on the lot and a 6+ month waiting list) in which case you're stuck.
OR (more often)
2) He trying to get every last dime out of you and you should go somewhere else.
Last time I bought a car, I faxed my offer to 6-7 different dealers. In my town, one dealer never called me back and the other two lied. They stated they would meet my offer and had the car in stock. One didn't have the car in stock, the other wanted to add 'fee-a-rama'
I ended up getting the car out of state, my make, model and color for the price I set.
YMMV and good luck.
P.S. I'm assuming cash offer, no trade-in. If you need a loan or have a trade-in, it gets even more complicated.

I'm also looking into these three models. I think that the Yaris has better gas mileage than the fit and the versa, however, the versa has 4 doors vs. the yaris with only two. The fit just doesn't do it for me, the body style seems more like a hyundia. I'm going to be test driving all three and make my final purchase on labor day weekend. Versa has a $500 incentive with low interest rate, plus additional $500 for college graduates. I hope that toyota and honda have a labor day weekend special. Honestly, price of the car will determine which one I will purchase, also I would look into which of these three will hold their value.
good luck.

P.S. I live in Long Island, NY, deal with lots of traffic going to work and school at night in Queens (4 nights a week in the summer), I still only need to fill up once a week which I think is great.
I just bought my Yaris liftback for $13750.00 with power package including ABS and airbags, Meteorite Metallic color and with just 6 miles. We loved the car the first time we drove and my wife had been driving it non stop around town. Bought this car @ Centennial Toyota ( www.CentennialToyota.com )in Las Vegas, NV. If you are interested contact AHAB of the internet department his a great guy to work with. Didn't purchase the extended warranty through them ($1600.00 for 7yr. - 100,000 miles). Good luck future Yaris owners! Buy Toyota...you got value plus reliability.
Also...Did you know...that there is a 4 door Yaris Liftback available in the Canadian market? Pretty cool looking car, I think even more so than the 2 door version sold here.
Thanks for sharing your experience. That version you got is virtually impossible to get in the NorthEast region of the US.

license and registration extra.
The above is a cash price, be prepared to pay a little more if you're financing with the special 2.9% APR from Toyota.
Dealership: IRA toyota in Manchester, NH. I live in Londonderry.
Car has the power package, all weather package, keyless entry, etc.
MSRP (options included) was listed at $14995.
Paid $9777. tax, admin, license and registration are extra. Out the door cost was around $10,600. Best deal I can find in MA area.
Dealership: IRA Toyota in Danvers, MA
MSRP was $12,979.
We drove the Yaris off the lot for Invoice + 200. Never been happier.
Here is my experience about buying Yaris sedan in Birmingham, Alabama.
1. I wanted one with side curtain airbags since Yaris has extremely bad safety rating for side hit without those. Unfortunately, even if it’s $650 option, no dealers were able to locate me Yaris sedan automatic with side airbags as the only option. Power package with 15” alloy wheels, MP3-WMA radio, rear defroster, power mirrors/doors, ABS was always included. Also, all the cars they could find had $110 fog lights installed.
2. My initial OTD quotes were: $16150, $16129, $15950, $15900 (some dealers had free tires and maintenance added).
3. After dealing with 3 dealerships negotiating the price, my final OTD price for Yaris sedan, flint mica, AT, with side airbags, power package, 15” alloy wheels, fog lights and ABS was $15369 OTD, all fees and tax included. The car had about 140 miles on it when delivered. I’m not really sure the dealer was really happy when I got the vehicle, so I’m not telling the dealer name. It’s a major Toyota dealer in AL.
4. If you need a really great deal on financing in AL, check https://www.amfirst.org. Their current rate is about 4.35% for 36 months with excellent credit (over 5 years credit history), the lowest Toyota had was 5.99% with a credit union of their choice or 7.5% with Toyota finance.
I bought it for my wife but really, really love it. If it’s not about moving some huge items in my SUV, I’d trade it for Yaris any day. I was enjoying every minute I spent driving the car.
Thank you.
Melody Toyota in Daly City has a new dealership and quoted a great price on a Yaris LB, same discount as Piercey was offering on the "ad specials." BUT they lowballed me $2k on my trade in - offered me $6k when I easily got 8k trading it in on a Versa (which had the same discount as the Yaris, so I made out fine).
Use Edmunds quote request service. Then shop around. Don't listen to negatives about your trade. Most dealers are pretty aggressive about their new car pricing because the MSRP sticker is right there and we can figure out what kind of deal we are getting. But the trade in information is harder to come by. You need to research that carefully then negotiate firmly.
1. Convenience pkg (CD/MP3, 15in steel wheels with covers, rear wiper and defroster)
2. All-Weather Guard pkg
3. Carpeted floor mats
4. Factory Fog lights
5. Tinted windows.
So far I'm getting amazing mileage (38.5 mix highway/city), the car is very quiet, and the clutch - shifter are very good for this inexpensive car.
I would definitely recommend this car to others trying to save on gas. I normally drive 3000-4000 miles per month for my job, and that was in a Chevy Silverado Crew Cab 1500LT. My average gas mileage was 16.7 mpg. What I'm saving on gas by driving the Yaris is more than paying for buying the 2nd car (gas, insurance and monthly car payment). Wish I would have done this sooner!
Regards,
Pete
