New(to me) 2007 Yaris hatchback owner here...



I bought this car this month from a courier company that went out of business. I paid 2,000(US) for it and it runs/drives perfectly, no leaks, damage, etc. The cars were serviced every Sunday as it ran about 500 miles a day, 5 days a week since 2008. The interior is near perfect, the paint is fair. The front is rough, with tons of tiny chips, but that's to be expected after that many miles. I'm planning on keeping the car for my current 400 mile a week commute instead of driving my 10MPG Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

I can say I've been shocked at the fairly low price of aftermarket parts for this car, all these cheap parts are refreshing compared to my Wrangler build, or my 1970 Mercury Cougar restomod.

This week I put a 6" indash Pioneer touchscreen, tinted the windows, and slapped on a set of drag DR-24 15's(Work RSZ-R knockoffs) and a set of Nankang 205/55-15's. I'm about to order a set of Eibach ProKit springs from microimage later this week, shocks will come when I decide on a set(any suggestions? not looking for a bumpy 6 hour commute).

The first thing my dad asked me after I closed the deal for this car was "how much have you spent on aftermarket parts"...I had to LOL, he knows me better than I know myself because I told him "none, and I don't plan on it" that was before I typed "Yaris parts" in the ebay search box. When he finally sees it he's gonna give me a speech
