Worth it? Yaris RS

[Hitikiro]

Hi guys/gals

Long time lurker here. I have been going in circles looking for a new "used" car. I am needing it for work and was originally set on getting a Yaris but also considered the Trix/Vibe. Now I just found a RS on CL for $9900 http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rd...436977600.html. I am hoping to negotiate a bit on the price. If I can what should I counter-offer?

Even though I can't drive manual I am willing to learn. This will be my first car and I was wondering if the price is right for this Yaris posted on CL. The car looks pretty clean but I will definitely have to do my due diligence (i.e. BCAA 143 point inspection, CarProof, etc). Any ways let me know what your thoughts on this guys.

PS:I don't know the year but I will definitely have to check with the CL poster.

Here is the email I sent to the CL poster:

The words denoted red is his response to my email.

Hi There:

What year is the Yaris? 2006 Are you the original owner? No . It is a 5 speed so I am guessing a manual tranny? Yes. Any major/minor accidents? Minor. Is the price negotiable? A small amount. What is the reason for selling? Don't need 2 vehicles Are you willing to let BCAA to do a 143 inspection? Yes. I am looking into getting my first car and was hoping on getting something that is reliable and affordable for work.

Cheers
