Toyota Yaris Automatic - Quinny100
I have the opportunity to accquire a 2001 51 plate Toyota Yaris 1.3 VVTi CDX with automatic transmission. Its in mint condition with 20000 miles on the clock in a tasteful metallic green colour. Full Toyota history and there's nothing wrong with it.

I have no desire or use for the car for myself, but I'm sure I read in one of HJ's auction reports that there was big demand for Yaris Auto's and the prices were high.

I've had a look on Auto Trader and there on only 3 within 40 miles of here, cheapest being £6495 at a Toyota dealer for a W reg CDX with 27k on the clock.

What could I realistically look to get for the car if I sold it privately? I can afford to sit on it for a few weeks but ideally I'd want rid of it within a month.

I suppose the question is how much do you think a years Toyota silver warranty will be worth as that is what a dealer will bring to the equation, plus possible finance.

I know HJ's right about the demand, but I suspect that demand will be generally be directed through dealers,as generally the buyers for these type of cars will be older, more cautious souls.

Toyota Yaris Automatic - Happy Blue!
If the car at the dealers is £6500 and that it what 18 month older and 7,000miles more, so you car should start out at say £7995?

If you could pick it up for £6500 I'm sure you would make money on it
