• What should I check for when buying a used Toyota Yaris?

  The Toyota Yaris is an extremely popular model, so our advice is to wait for the right car with a full-service history and a limited warranty for complete peace of mind. If budget permits, it is also a good idea to choose a recent model year with a hybrid engine as they are some of the most fuel-efficient cars you can buy today. The early generations of the Toyota Yaris will be older than 10-15 years and one should thoroughly check for any visible body damage, and test-drive the vehicle to check for any obvious issues, noise/vibrations in powertrain or suspension components.

Although the number of owners doesn’t exactly translate to a better car, it is safe to pick a car with less owners as it is easier to trace its history.
