[magoo_lc1]

I apologize but i have a pet peeve about people coming in on someones for sale thread and only saying negative things. Again i apologize to the board and the seller.

I work for a MAJOR car finance company. If you work at a dealer: dealers are the biggest dumabasses around. Hell i have to explain how a lease works on a daily basis to at least one dealer. And all of you even you nimble unless you pay cash for your car the dealer gets more no matter how good of a "negotiator" you think you are. Even if you work for the delership you are still paying a dealers reserve no matter if your credit is 400 or 850. Please dont let your mouth overload your ass. Dealers will always remain the most uninformed, rip off con artists there are.

I know from experience because i handle the whole united states for nearly a 3000 dealer network. I see more deals in a day then you ever will in your life. So please let the sale continue for one very clean yaris. I hope you get every penny.

Talk about the most non-sensical, ramble I've EVER read in 6 yrs of being on car forums.

First, I know ALL about leases, finances, I don't give a shit who you work for, I know more, simple as that. Sure the dealer gets a 3% holdback, but on a $12K car, that's $360, so in essence, my dealer made $250, hey, it's better than all you guys that pay $600 over and also give the dealer the HB money, and maybe even a trade. So then, you're telling me you know more about negotiating than me, yet who let the dealer make $1K+, vs who let them make less than 350 bucks?

And finally, if you seriously think sellers/dealers/whoever get their asking prices on everyday, regular cars that are priced WAY over retail, then I feel sorry for that poor financing company you work for, as you must be slightly mentally challenged. Repeat it with me....IT'S ALWAYS A BUYERS MARKET IN THE USED MARKET!!! Not a seller's.

I do agree that dealers are ripoff artists though, as I'm sure you do with that price you paid for your Yaris. Ok, who's next? Batter up. S-T-R-I-K-E!

I'll walk you through it, since you feel the need to tell a 26 yr old with $30K+ in 10%+ yielding mm funds that taking a measly $12.9K out in cash to avoid 8% auto loans was stupid. Yeah, yeah 2% more in my mm funds, blah, blah. It's worth it to me because I HATE auto loans. Besides you pay uncle sam on the 10% anyways, making it less.

1) Here's how it works.

2) Sure on Toyota.com, the "power package" appears to be $1550, the list that Toyota has it. However, you'll notice that all Yaris's have a separate breakdown for each package on the window sticker. The "pp" comes with the conven, all weather, and mats.

3) On my window sticker, sitting in FRONT of me now, the conven package is $630, the all weather is $110 and the mats are $150. Add them all up, and subtract from $1550, and WHAT DO YOU GET? $660!!!! Wowwee! That is less than the $1K+ you say it is.

4) Who's next, this smackdown is toooo easy.

BTW, the deals on pig autos like vans and suv's have NO relevance on what peole pay for desirable cars that actually get decent gas mileage.

hahah, i agree with this sentiment! this thread got too carried away, and for that i apologize to 501. nimble, very good breakdown of the power package, as i failed to take into consideration the power package would replace your convenience package, therefore the price would not be ADDED onto your sale price. i concede defeat in this regard. to end on an optimistic note, im sorry that 501 has to part ways with a great car, and i certainly hope that he does get as much as he can for it. the next owner of that car will be quite a lucky person...

ps: before you guys start to hate on vans, lemme tell ya, im doing everyone in the world a favor by having sliding doors! in this way, i dont give everyone parked beside me a ding while removing my child from her car seat! win-win situation, we get the much needed room for playpens, strollers, car seats, etc...and everyone around me gets a dent free car! when you guys start to raise families, you'll know what i mean...good luck to all!

It would have been nice to quietly tell the threadstarter over PM that he is overpricing it than crashing the thread like this, unless you actually had the intention to buy, and are conducting an open negotiation over the price.

[Nimble]

A few things.

I obviously came off as an ass by telling the OP his price is high. I only meant to let him know that there are ways of retrieving close to his asking price simply by changing the way he sells his car. The suspension shocks and springs are a pain to remove/replace, so just sell the car with those on, and sell that nice stereo stuff, the rear sway, and the wheels. Then he has a highly marketable car with all options, that can be priced closer to $15K. All I was saying.

I, of all people, love to see cars sold not sat on, I was simply trying to offer advice on how to do that. Good luck and I'm out. :)

You are 100% correct, you may ask any price you please. And who knows? You may get it. The mods you've done are nice, part some out and you'll attain very close to what you're asking. Good luck.
