The finance rates are still some of the lowest in the market.
I don't doubt that, it's more the change in the bottom line. The numbers were on another forum and it was a little under 600 a month, rather than the 350-400 for those with 0%.
Total cost of ownership was 41 or 42k.

That looks lovely.

Thanks to you and everyone for their help. I’ve done a deal on a used one, so will post up pics once I pick up !!! Very excited, first time I’ve had a white car too!!!

I noted my one doesn’t have mudflaps, is it an easy retrofit on front and back?
The fronts flaps are very easy to fix in a few minutes and they are the important ones for preventing side chips. Some people just fit the fronts but I wanted rears as well.

You’ll be wanting to get yourself across here too now you are GRY owner smile

I’ve also fitted a rear view mirror raiser which was easy and provides an improved view out the front.

I’ll dig out which items I’ve bought/fitted if interested.

Before I collected I had already ordered front flaps, a mirror riser and some anti slip mats for the interior!

As an OE numberplate are you not far from Oxford? If so where did you get the wheels painted? It's something I'm thinking of getting done at some point. Do you need to tell your insurance company?

You’d have to inform insurance. There’s a long thread on here about a PH’er who purchased I think a corsa for their daughter and because the previous owner had painted them black the insurance wouldn’t pay out.

Just treated my GRY Circuit to some TLC (Lanoguard, Ceramic Coating, wheel spacers).

A friend of mine saw that advertised on AT a few weeks ago and emailed the seller quickly. They said it was sold though so strange its still advertised.

I'm waving farewell to mine on Thursday. Replacing it with an A110. Not because the Yaris isn't a great car, it really is, but purely because I can't afford to have both. Sad (and happy) days.

So I’ve had an A110 on the radar for a while and also thinking of the swap from Yaris. Would be interested in your thoughts when you get the car but also on why you’ve decided to swap.

The only two new cars that i find really exciting! I would do the same if I could stretch to an A110 as a second car. My SO leaned towards having an A110 as an only car even after I showed her the complete lack of boot space, decided that would have been to impractical.

The A110 is a lovely looking thing and appears to have have been developed to have the normal fat and frills removed to give a beautiful lean car. Its a pretty special thing in todays climate. I think the GRY is great too - sorry for off topic!

Looks so much better on gold wheels...black always loses shape and design of the wheel.

That does look great! I think that is the best colour combo and the only one I would buy.
