The 2009 Yaris sits at a median of $5,494 in the Canadian market right now. That's the number to carry into any negotiation. Half the cars are priced above it, half below, and most of the action clusters between $4,848 and $6,260.
Median mileage on these is 178,510 km, so a 2009 Yaris in that price band has already done a lot of living. A car well under that figure earns a spot near the top of the range. One pushing past 200,000 km belongs at the bottom.
What to actually pay
Anything below $4,848 deserves a hard look, not blind excitement. At that price the seller is usually working around higher mileage, needed repairs, or cosmetic wear. Confirm what you're getting before you treat the low number as a win.
North of $6,260 you're paying a premium, and on a 15-year-old economy car the premium needs a reason. Lower kilometres, clean service history, one owner. If none of that shows up, the price is just optimistic.
We've flagged 4 deals on this model year in the last 90 days. Not a flood, but proof that cars priced under the median do surface. Set your target near $5,494, aim lower if the odometer runs high, and you're negotiating from the right spot.
