cheapest power package in my area goes for $1200, around $1500 for power with the alloys. i'd kill to live in a region where the power package costs only $500. airbags are another $650. maybe its time to move to the midwest, seems that toyotas are far cheaper there than the west coast, according to nimble at least...

When you negotiate a $12,700 sticker Yaris for $11,950 come talk to me, until then....you get the idea. It's not freakin rocket science, here's the steps.....

Go to Toyota.com
Click on build Yaris
option out, and whalla!!! you get the price!
Then go search google for invoice and you call all the dealers in your area offering them that.....DONE.=a Yaris just like this one with same options for less than $15K.

EDIT: I just went to toyota.com and price his car out with all but the side airbags and got a whooping $13.2K RETAIL. The side airbags as a standalone option can't be more than $600. So, there, I was guessing HIGH. You guys crack me up. Hand me over some of those dreamworld pills....I'd love to be living in that world.

not to overdo it, but could i have some of your dreamworld pills so that i could lower the price of my power package to $500, as you claim to be able to get yours? and it is true, car negotiations arent rocket science. my previous internship at jpl and engineering degree ARE. and $100 below invoice...not bad. we got our yaris at $600 over invoice since we ordered it, waited 14 weeks, and didnt want to wait another 14 weeks for another dealer to get another one. guess you beat us there. but then again, i did get my sienna for $1800 below invoice ($6.2K below sticker). could have been $2800 below, but we opted for 0% apr (instead of the $1K cashback) since the money kept instead of cashing it out could make even more in our money markets and mutual funds. so to quote you...come and do THAT, and then talk to me...until then...

I'll walk you through it, since you feel the need to tell a 26 yr old with $30K+ in 10%+ yielding mm funds that taking a measly $12.9K out in cash to avoid 8% auto loans was stupid. Yeah, yeah 2% more in my mm funds, blah, blah. It's worth it to me because I HATE auto loans. Besides you pay uncle sam on the 10% anyways, making it less.

1) Here's how it works.

2) Sure on Toyota.com, the "power package" appears to be $1550, the list that Toyota has it. However, you'll notice that all Yaris's have a separate breakdown for each package on the window sticker. The "pp" comes with the conven, all weather, and mats.

3) On my window sticker, sitting in FRONT of me now, the conven package is $630, the all weather is $110 and the mats are $150. Add them all up, and subtract from $1550, and WHAT DO YOU GET? $660!!!! Wowwee! That is less than the $1K+ you say it is.

4) Who's next, this smackdown is toooo easy.

BTW, the deals on pig autos like vans and suv's have NO relevance on what peole pay for desirable cars that actually get decent gas mileage.
