My First Toyota - Toyota Yaris Forums

araine · 09-18-2011, 12:20 PM

Hello All!

I am new to the Toyota wold, having only owned 2 FORD's in my time (hating every minute of it). It was time to look for a new car, and in mind we had a hatchback for the 2 of us as well as our boxer child named Harley. We were aiming for the new Honda Fit, because we believed it was the best of the best. We looked high and low but it was becoming very difficult. After 4 dealerships, we were waiting on a 2008 Fit to come out, when I walked passed the love of my life. The Yaris. I never seen such beauty! I know, it sounds corny, and the boyfriend laughs, but I fell instantly in love with this car! The curves, the color, the sound, just perfect! It was a 2009 base model, one owner, and only had 16K miles on it, asking price $14.9. A little much in our book for it, but they gave me a large amount of money for my POS focus, so we decided to take it.

I will be picking it up on Wed. I hope to hear and see good things about this car, as well as suggestions, hints, and much more! :)

Congrats and very nice color..

araine · 09-18-2011, 01:35 PM

Thanks! :) What's weird is, in person its a lighter blue then what the pictures shows. I have not seen this color blue before, I looked online too. Its like a light powder blue.

I'd like to get black and silver seat covers, new rims, paint the calipers silver and get the windows tinted. Sucks though with NY, you can only get the back windows tinted lol.

It's the Bayou Blue me thinks. Just like mine

Grats on the purchase. You'll love it.
