    I'm looking into buying a 2nd hand Yaris 1.5 M/T. The asking price is 590K.

    Is this a good price for this type of car?
    Do you have any idea about the fuel efficiency (km/liter) of the Yaris?

    Thanks in advance!

    What year is it? It cost Php 713,000 when new.

    Depending on the year it was purchased, the discount varies, with the later year models getting a bigger discount amount (bec. it recently received a facelift).

    Haggle it down mataas pa yan! I assume that is the pre-facelifted model pa. I bought one new before the facelift came and it was selling only for P643,000 less P70K from the sticker price... Yes it went that low just before the facelift came... IMO pefect time to buy NEW...

    As for fuel efficiency, I get 13km/L or higher 12's on Quezon City driving. Dumadaan pa nga ako sa Quezon Ave. around 9AM so that gives you an idea. Pero 2000RPM-2500RPM shift na ako and by 65km/h naka 5th gear na ako...

    It's a 2008 model sir. Therefore, 590k is about 82% of the current model 2010 Yaris if bought brand-new. Is this a good depreciation percentage for buying this car?

    Thanks for the input. anong taon model po yung Yaris nung nabili ninyo ng 70K less?

    Magkano kaya ang magandang tawad dun sa 590K?

    June 4, 2009. They were just clearing stock of old Yaris (I nitially wanted white, wala ng white and ended up with red). July 2009 the facelift version was released...

    Tawaran mo ng P520K, syempre di papayag yun... Siguro the most talaga I would pay for it is P530K and that's it... Kasi P643K at one point brand new, and that's 2 years... But that's me...

    You did not mention the current mileage. Are you sure its not a flooded unit?

    Depreciation should be based on the price of the unit at the time of purchase (brand new).
    So Unit SRP of Php 713K (less avg dealer discount of 30K-40K). then less 25% off depreciation (avg of 20-30%). It should come out something like 510K. But the seller will probably let it go for Php 550-560K (if you haggle well).

    The mileage is around 16,xxx. I think it's not a flooded unit because it is in Mindanao :D but I'll also take that into consideration. Thanks for mentioning.
