CallDescription
Overview: This 2007 Toyota Yaris has 390,345 miles and is currently listed for $1,000 or best offer. It is a running vehicle with registration fees paid and up to date through December 2026.
Condition: The car runs well, though a check engine light has recently appeared. The seller has chosen to sell the vehicle as-is rather than performing further diagnostics or repairs after upgrading to a new car.
History: This is a high-mileage commuter vehicle that has remained in service despite its age. It offers a low-cost entry point for a buyer willing to address the current mechanical warnings.
Market Highlights
- The Reliability Premium: Toyota's mid-2000s builds are legendary for their longevity. While 390,000 miles would be a death sentence for most economy cars, the Yaris utilizes a simple, robust powertrain that often survives deep into high mileage with basic care.
- Southern California Market Dynamics: In the current SoCal market, any running vehicle priced at $1,000 is considered a high-demand item. The scarcity of functional 'beater' cars keeps a hard floor on the valuation of Toyotas and Hondas regardless of mileage.
- The Smog Factor: The primary value driver for this specific listing is the registration status. However, the Check Engine Light represents a significant hurdle for California buyers, as the seller is legally responsible for providing a passing smog certificate upon sale.
