Clubfoothead Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 OK so after totally over-researching I have come to the conclusion that based upon my use, criteria and amount I'm willing to spend, the freaking Toyota Yaris is my dream used-car. Here's the rub - I find the hatchback unappealing (although going into this I told myself I didn't care what the car looks like). I am looking at a 2008 sedan version with the same miles as a 2009 hatchback. The sedan is not Toyota Certified Pre-Owned but the hatchback is. The certified pre-owned is going to end up being just under $500 more than the as-is, drive-off. Forget the fact we are talking about a pair of Yarii (which is apparently the correct plural). Pretend it's a piar of F-250's if it makes you feel better. Would you consider the difference between Certified Pre-Owned and not worth more than piece of mind? Thanks in advance.

i_am_the_swammi Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Forget the fact we are talking about a pair of Yarii (which is apparently the correct plural). Impossible. But no, whether it was a pre-cert or not would not affect my decision. If I am spending $12-15K on a used car, my mechanic is getting a couple hundy to do a once over anyway. Anything he finds that was not disclosed would be brought to the attention of the seller and rectified, or no deal. Am I really gonna trust the opinion of a mechanic that works for the seller???

buddahj Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I bought a certified used Honda. It had a better warranty than a brand new one. IMO, certified used is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satelliteoflovegm Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Yes get the F-250's. Wait, what was the question? Edited March 3, 2011 by satelliteoflovegm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polksalet Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 have you considered a couple of 10 year old camry? The odds are that it will last as long as the yaris for a lot less money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
