New Yaris owner! A few questions... - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Wow, congrats, that's great!

I actually have nationwide MT 2012-14 Autotrader and Cars.com searches in my favorites and check them weekly or so. Manual SEs are super rare, much less for that great a deal. And yeah, they do look so much better than the older ones.

I suspect the MT was the reason the car was so...reasonable!

It was at a Kia dealership near Chicago, and the salesman said no one wanted this silly car lol

It was probably the manual transmission that put people off. No one knows how to drive stick in this country.

Thinking about selling my SE and upgrading my backup car to a CT200H

scratchpaddy · 12-08-2016, 10:29 PM

Did you just get a big raise?

If I were going to get a Lexus, that's the one I'd get. I love wagons. No manual transmission, though.

Haha money isn't what keeps me in a Yaris. They are just the most practical car for my purposes. I have a buyer lined up for the red car, I'll keep driving the silver one as long as it'll go. I'm not exactly sure what will be next for a backup car, CT200H, Prius, Prius C, or I may just buy a new Mustang GT so I can have a fun car again.

But I'll still spend 2,000 miles a week in my old trusty Yaris.

That's my scenario. I drive the hell out of my Yaris and leave the Sunday driving to a sports car because even sports cars can be hard to live with at times. The Yaris is the right tool for the job.

If you decide to sell it let me know.

Automatic is for lazy drivers !

NYC-SE · 12-10-2016, 02:23 PM

Man you didn't have that SE for very long, a couple of months? Did you make your money back at least?

Sold for $8500. I love the car, the SE made it much harsher of a ride, and some other small things that made me prefer my 2011.
