What mileage would you consider selling your Yaris?

That can be fixed by using dynamat, then a layer of closed cell foam, then a layer of mass loaded vinyl. But you gotta do the same thing in the trunk as well. And try to get it as far up the inside of the firewall as you possibly can.

But this thread has convinced me that I'm probably never going to sell the Yaris. I live in the south so rust is never an issue. Our Yaris has only ever had any real issues with the front suspension, and the rubber seals around the car. Both the rear door seals (sedan) have let go, but I just used RTV silicone and now they are back in place. The ones that run along both sides of the roof popped up. Siliconed them back down as well. The rubber seal for the windshield wiper cowl, also came loss and started flapping around. More RTV. Now the front passenger door window seal has cracked. That will actually have to be replaced with a new one. But none of this is any real big deal. On the front suspension, I've had to replace all 4 control arms, and I'll start a new thread about the shock tower issue I'm having.

I think I'm going to buy me a yaris though. Right now the wife and I kind of share one, but when she's not home I drive an 87 chevy truck that I've done endless work to and that I love.

But I need me a gas saver, nice little car. Often times I won't go somewhere, just because all I have to drive is a truck from the 1980's. Its fine on shorter trips like around town, but if I want to go to the city, ugh. Its not so great. Not as comfortable, and not nearly as easy to drive. So I wanted to ask about the Yaris sedan sales in the U.S. Didn't they stop selling the sedan in the U.S for awhile? And now they've started again? Don't know the full story. But I can't do one of the newer ones, I can't abide that giant open mouth they have for a front bumper. So I want to get the latest year that I can, that doesn't have that front bumper. Which year should I be looking for? What is the latest year that I can get in the U.S, with no giant gaping front bumper? (only looking for sedan)
