New Car Advice

I bought a 2006, 1.0 Toyota Yaris over the weekend for £6k with 9.8K on the clock..

Was this a good deal? (Not very good with cars)

Also, what things should keep in the car? (First Aid Kit, Map..Etc..)


Thanks in Advance

Thats a good price for an 06

Seems a good price. I valued on Glass's Guide to give a part ex value (which is always lower than full retail) and I did make a few assumptions:




Toyota Yaris T2
1.0 Petrol 5-door Hatchback
5 Speed Manual Front Wheel Drive
Year: 2006 06
Mileage: 10,000




Part-exchange Price:
Excellent condition:
£5730
Average condition:
£5210
Below average condition:
£4580



Boys scout stuff:

Warning Triangle
First Aid Kit
Torch
Road Atlas
"Honk if you're horny" bumper sticker

that sounds a very good price. its the reason i couldnt afford a yaris, they're quite expensive in comparison to other minis but worth the moneya s they go on for ever.

I keep in my car, some tissues, flash wipes, windowlene and loads of kitchen roll, fold up chairs, a cool box, tea towels, shammy leather (or is it chamoix), sunglasses, a thermos cup for beverages, maps, cleaning materials, water, air freshener, the manual...erm thats it i think.

Couple of other things worth considering:

High visibility fluorescent vest,
Air compressor.

Having been part of the M5 overnight flood group at strensham srevices back in July I'd recommend:
Blankets, Bottled water, long life food (cereal bars? choc?)

Left home in mcr at 5.00pm expecting a tough journey to bristol (normally 3-4hrs, expected 5-6) didn't get there until 7.00am

A wind-up torch is a good idea, batteries always seem to be flat in an ordinary torch when you need it on a dark night. A disposable camera is handy if you're ever in an accident and need to take pictures to prove you're in the right.

You may well need a bigger car than a Yaris if you put all that stuff in it!! :rotfl:
