I was going to trade it in... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Five years. I give it five years before multiple mainstream car manufacturers produce a superior automatic transmission that they begin to equip their cars with. I am betting on Ford and the Chrysler Group being the first too. The mandate on fuel efficiency is going to be the driving factor along with the continuing urban-ification of the states.

AFAIK, some dealerships will decline to take a trade-in, but not many. The dealership I bought my Yaris from generally avoids anything over 100k miles because they have difficulty moving the car. Not many people trade in a 100k mile car though. Dealerships want used cars because it is a better source of revenue and with the way the economy is, people are looking for more affordable cars. New cars are just getting way to expensive.
