New owner - Toyota Yaris Forums

regal · 03-14-2009, 01:44 PM

I sold my old 93 civic today so I could invest in a better suspension for the Yaris. The Yaris is such a neat car, the engine is bullet proof with the timing chain and the chassis is absolutely solid for a 2200 lb car.

There was a '08 Yaris with 10k miles at a local dealer for $9700, but he really insulted me by not comming down in price and only offering $200 for my civic. I am so glad I bought the new Yaris for $11.7 from my local Toyota dealer and sold my civic for $1500 on Craigslist. I got a new car for what that used Yaris would have cost!

I do miss the Honda, the Honda had a certain mystic and unbelievable handling. I am gambling on the TRD suspension for the Yaris, I really hope it does the trick. Right now with the stock suspension I am not getting that magical "connection" between car, driver, and road. I am going to roll the dice and see what TRD can do for the car.
