Jay & Electra (his New Yaris)

[Jay 72]

Greetings to all on the site

I purchased a 1.0 L Colour Collection Yaris, 03 Plate in Jan 2008. It had 32,000 miles, CD, alloys & spoiler. Bought from an ex-employee of Toyota for £3,000.

She was trading it in for a newer and quicker model. She was buying it from another Toyota franchise in the local region. They only wanted to give her 2,800 for the part-ex, but she wanted 3,200. I was a gent and met her halfway There is a pic in the gallery.

I’m enjoying my first car, relieved it passed its first MOT at the beginning of the month. I use is for the commute on the M1. I do about 400-450 miles a week. I fill the tank around every 4 working days, depending on traffic and my current music choice. The car will get its full 40,000 miles service in the coming months.

Only faults I can fine so far are finding a replacement rear wiper, the amount of road noise; and the gearshift, it’s not the smoothest, its like it is not meshing at times :(

Looking forward to chatting to folks on the forum.

Till next time

Jay

Hi Jay, welcome to the forum. I haven't been here long but it's a nice place to be.

Also, hi to you pete, looks like we are both from God's country!

Good luck to you both with your wiper search!!
