Hi all,

I just went to see my first used Yaris today. Private sale, 3rd owner (I'd be the fourth probably).

The car has just shy of 150,000Kms on it and mechanically, everything seems fine. The clutch is responsive and light. The gear selector is smooth (except when changing down to first).

The issues with the car are largely cosmetic. The front bumper has alot of damage: The bottom of the bumper is warped slightly (probably hit a rodent or something) and the top right of the front bumper seems to be fastened with screws. Like visible screws. The right fender has a dent. The left windshield pillar has a tiny tiny dot of rust (I'm not sure if this is a panel or a part of the chassis).

If I ever wanted to repair all the exterior damage, I'm guessing it'll cost around $1000. Thats with professional paint and OEM parts.

The owner wants $4,500 for it. What do you Yaris gurus think? Buy? Pass?
