And the OLD car? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

simonwiley · 11-19-2008, 05:30 PM

I kept my 3 other vehicles. I have a 2005 Civic 4-door 63k miles, a 1989 Ford F250 4x4 with 49k miles, and a 2008 Harley Roadking Classic with 6k miles. I thought about trading in my F250 but its a really reliable truck, and doesn't have many miles. I just bought a 2007 Yaris 2-door HB. I love it. Bought it 4 days ago, and loving every minute of it... well I don't love the people calling it cute! I'm a biker, and you usually don't see people like me driving something like a Yaris. However, it is a blast to drive. Even has more power then my Civic, which suprised me.

I still have my 4 runner, now I am swapping out the old motor in favor of a 4.3v6 out of my old s-10 Blazer.

Hmm, that's weird my previous post got deleted. Wonder why. Oh well, let's see if it'll stick this time.

Last car was a second-hand '97 Saturn SL2 I had for 3 1/2 years. Even though I did all the repairs and got it running like new, it got totaled a few months back. Decided then that since gas was almost $5/gal at the time, I'm gonna get another gas-sipper. For the first time ever I decided on getting a new car, and the Yaris beat-out every other car I looked at. One of the best damn decisions I've ever made

Well we traded in my Accord to get the Camry and we traded in my wives old Element for the Yaris. Sometimes we miss the old cars but not really. I think my wife misses the Element more than anything but that thing was a gas guzzler. My dad traded in our Wrangler for his 300, now that thing I miss...a lot.

Toyota bought back my 97 Tacoma with 230,000 miles on it for $9,000 which I traded in on my 08 LB for $3,500 OTD! =)

This was my "old" car :(

I knew I could get more selling mine privately than taking the (pathetic) trade-in offer, but then I started getting cold feet about showing it to strangers, not to mention getting in cars with them or handing off the keys for a test drive; yikes (I'm a single woman). Thankfully, I got four or five nibbles from just advertising it here at work, and found a good home for it for a good price. Now I can "move on" to my cute Yaris!

Okay otterhere, now you have to change your profile to show a Yaris and
not the Suzuki Swift.

Oh, dear; hope that's not as complicated as posting pics (which I have yet to master)...

I see you found the UserCP

And when you learn to post pics, I can really put this

up properly.

We traded in the wife's Hyundai Sonata that was on it's last leg for the Yaris.

CCILovePinkCC · 11-28-2008, 09:00 PM

I traded in my 1994 Toyota Corolla for the Yaris. I was soo sad to let go of it. It was my first car and my dad's last car. Breaking up is hard to do!
