Yaris #2

Because one isn't enough!



Okay, it's not for me. My dad wants to replace the cargo van he's been using for the past 7 years or so. He used it to haul plants around, but that's not his job anymore. He originally had his eyes on a Fit, but when I brought my Yaris up to visit over the holidays, he fell in love with it. I've had one eye on craigslist for the past month or so, and on Saturday, this popped up:




2007, 118k miles, $3,500. I reached out to him less than an hour after he posted it. It was originally bought in Long Beach, and not driven much until it was traded in to a Mercedes dealership in Arizona in 2012. The brother of one of the salesmen, a Border Patrol agent in Yuma, bought it. He later transferred to ICE and moved to the Phoenix metro area. Then, he bought a Tacoma, and I bought his Yaris, on my parent's behalf.

It has all the power options, an armrest, and the trick rear seat I like so much.



It does not have cruise control, which is a problem I need to fix. It also has one of these. It's what my parents wanted.



I thought that knob was aftermarket when I saw it, but it's not. It's the "sport shift knob," Toyota part# PTS22-52061. It also has the "sport" pedal covers, which I'd never seen before.

The wheels are also stock. I only knew about the fat 5-spoke ones, but these are the "EM 7" wheels, part# PT904-52041. Apparently they were more common on Scion cars. I could steal them for my car and my parents wouldn't mind (they might not even notice), but I'm having too much fun with hubcaps.



I'm going clean it up, do some maintenance on it, then drive it up to them in Oregon. I was planning on selling the van for them, too, but they're just giving it to me instead. I'll drive it back home and sell it here. It has lots of room for sleeping.
