Worth it? Yaris RS
Hi guys/gals
Long time lurker here. I have been going in circles looking for a new "used" car. I am needing it for work and was originally set on getting a Yaris but also considered the Trix/Vibe. Now I just found a RS on CL for $9900 http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rd...436977600.html. I am hoping to negotiate a bit on the price. If I can what should I counter-offer? Even though I can't drive manual I am willing to learn. This will be my first car and I was wondering if the price is right for this Yaris posted on CL. The car looks pretty clean but I will definitely have to do my due diligence (i.e. BCAA 143 point inspection, CarProof, etc). Any ways let me know what your thoughts on this guys. PS:I don't know the year but I will definitely have to check with the CL poster. Here is the email I sent to the CL poster: The words denoted red is his response to my email. Hi There: What year is the Yaris? 2006 Are you the original owner? No . It is a 5 speed so I am guessing a manual tranny? Yes. Any major/minor accidents? Minor. Is the price negotiable? A small amount. What is the reason for selling? Don't need 2 vehicles Are you willing to let BCAA to do a 143 inspection? Yes. I am looking into getting my first car and was hoping on getting something that is reliable and affordable for work. Cheers Last edited by Hitikiro; 06-20-2011 at 12:01 PM. |

Looks good, but the "$5,000" in add-ons sounds a bit inflated for what he listed...Headers, cold air intake, exhaust, a Vitz badge, tints, rims and Yokohama slicks for 5 grand?
 If I dropped 5 grand on performance upgrades, I'd have a Blitz or a turbo to show for it.

well, ive he's asking 9900, he likely won't take less than 9k cash
i would start w/ an offer of 8000 and see where he counters... RS's are worth the extra money as the price difference used for the better features is worth it (vs several thousand in price difference new)

Thanks for the reply guys! Decided on getting a beater instead (Taurus 96' w/145k KM) from a relative for a very good price. I'll use my remaining funds on appreciating assets instead. Thanks for all your input!

I suppose given that all the other points you bring up, that's not a bad idea
