new member and new to toyota!

Hi folks,

I am at heart a blue oval guy, but after my MK2 fiesta got a nose punt from a Zafira I needed to get new transport. Something cheap to run, reliable and above all under £800.

As much as I would have loved to get a KA, all the ones I looked at were falling apart. 

Wanting something reliable I thought "why not go Japanese?". And this little silver Yaris D-4D GS popped up locally on eBay.

So a quick trawl through the old MOT online, which with other cars was very scary, revealed almost spotless car that only ever really needed bulbs and tyres. Checked tax and was amazed at the £30 a year bracket.

So I brought it, My first diesel, first Toyota, first car with electronic gubbins...........

Was definitely the family run about. Has a leak in the back some where (still trying to remedy, have carpet out drying), the front wiper mechanism had chewed through itself (replaced for £15 and half an hour time), the rear wiper arm has eaten into the glass, kiddy misty hand prints on the paint and the headlights had clouded (remedy, brasso and glass polish).

But so far am rather pleased. 

Let the cheap motoring continue!
