hey "rerednaw" offer them $9000.00 and see what happens. just walk out if they turn you down!
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!
It's great to hear that your car came in ahead of schedule. That is a very pleasant kind of surprise!
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?
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.

when i get ready to buy i hope to see a lot full of yaris's at the dealers. for a new subcompact, i don't see how the yaris can be beat.
Getting used to seating change from a Element to Yaris. I am 5'8 long legs/BF. Traded in a 05 Element with 22K. Had my own financing/draft but bank stipulations were 125 net advance. I tried every dealer because I wanted a hatchback with gas mileage. First choice in my heart was Yaris but .... Would have settled with the Verso, they would not deal. Would have settled for the Accent (great speed and handling) and I owned a 93 Excel for over 8 years but I wanted to evolve just a tad from what I drove in college and graduate school. Would have settled for a Ford Focus HB but when returned salesman gone and new salesman price too high! Sooo close to buying Chevy Aveo. Love the interior, the fold down seats (similar to Fit ---(the wait istoo long for a manual for Fit).
Honda needs to stop playing games with the dealerships and just send the darn product to be sold! You are losing business.
I like the out the door price of Aveo but depreciation horrible, manual not smooth, ride quality pretty good but suspension and quality of ride very very different from Yaris. Also gas mileage not comparable. I would have taken the Aveo because I like the pricing($2500 rebate for Aveo.) They are trying to dump them and that is fully loaded!
Inflexible Toyo dealer in my hometown stated "we cannot accommodate your needs."
Toyo of Hollywood, Florida is the BEST dealer besides Rick Case Honda. Salesman patient and AWESOME!!!!
These people are in the business to SELL CARS! No drama, no silliness. They worked with my stipulations. Out the door base model Black Liftback 15,143 including tax tag, title, and "upside down" Element.
They paid off a 14677 Honda Element and put me in the Yaris. Lowered my payments $115 and doubled my gas mileage.
I love her (Yaris) though she does not come with power windows/locks or side air bags like the Aveo....
If it were my decision I would choose between.
Aveo
Accent and Yaris.
I wish I could have bought from my dealer again Rick Case Honda but the Fit in a manual ...they just are not sending enough to the dealerships and I honestly did not like the suspension or ride quality of the Fit. Prefer the Civic HB but those are pricey!!
Aveo not second choice based on ride but on options and style which of course is subjective.
Like it so far. I drove it about 400 miles and varied speed to break it in gently. Although mileage will vary during break in, I got 41.5 miles per gallon for my trip. Anything around 40 for a highway trip will keep me happy.
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).
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.
(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.
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.
2014 Mini Cooper (stick shift of course), 2016 Camry hybrid, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (keeping the stick alive)
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!
Most dealers cap credit card payments at $2K-$5K..

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!
The deal was what they said it would be.. no funny stuff at the delivery. Very courteous and helpful salesman and bank guy. They got me financed at a reasonable rate, although my credit is a bit iffy.
The dealer is Lia Toyota on Central Ave. in Colonie NY. The salesman was Richie Ravelli. They still have 2 Silver and a Red one equipped like mine. I snapped up the last blue one. :-) I feel like I got a fair deal.
Thanks for the help guys.
It seems as if it depends on the region you are in.
What is the story anyway and why is it so hard to get one?
I have family back in Pennsylvania. Do I need to go back there to get the car? I would like to have it in this lifetime :confuse: ">

I would say it took about 3 months. Now I am starting to see them around town (Portland, OR) So the shortage is easing up.
I only have 3800 miles now, but in mixed driving (mostly suburban and highway but a little stop and go) I have not gotten a single tank under 36.5 mpg (usually 37-38 mpg). I have only had a couple of highway tanks and got 40 and 42 mpg.
BTW, is it possible to get a Yaris Hatchback Manual with the power package? I looked on over 10 different Texas dealer websites, and none of them offer the power package.
Over two or three weeks, I used the internet to get multiple price quotes from a couple of dozen different dealers on several models (Honda Fit & Civic, Mazda3 i, Scion xA, Nissan Versa, Ford Focus, Toyota Corolla, Matrix, & Yaris). I then had the two or three lowest price dealers bid against each other for the very lowest price. As this was going on, I was out test driving the different models. I finally narrowed my choice down to the Yaris and the Honda Fit Sport. The Yaris won because even after adding the cost of the options I wanted, the out the door price of the Yaris was $3,300 less than the best quote I received on the Fit Sport. Every Toyota dealer started out with an offer well below MSRP for a Yaris, and the bids quickly went to near or below invoice. The best deal on a Fit Sport was $300 below MSRP, and that was only one dealer. All other Fit Sport offers were at MSRP or a couple of hundred above. To me, the Fit was just not worth that much more money than a well equipped Yaris. Also, imho, the Yaris just looks nicer. I am really enjoying the sharp handling and zip of the Yaris, and I love that feeling I get when I keep passing up the gas stations. I've had the car for five days now, and even with a 70 mile R/T to work the last three days, I still have over half of an 11.1 gal tank of gas. I honestly feel that I bought the best car for me.
I spent a lot of time reading through these forums before buying, and I picked up tons of valuable info and advice. I just figured I would post my experience here in the hope that it helps someone else. Thank you to everyone who has helped educate me about the Yaris on these forums!
