My Sons ECHO is SOLD!
This is a 2000 silver four door I bought for him six years ago when he was in college. The particulars:
I paid $3000 for it with 117k on it. The car looked and drove like new. When sold it had ~200k on it, the alternator bearings were noisy, the power steering didnt work (probably the belt) and the front end made a lot of noise when you hit pot holes. He and his gf drove it to Seattle from NJ twice. And to Maine and back one summer. I estimate we put $450 in to it, mostly tires (which were less than $30 then!) including a rebuilt MAF sensor, oil and air fliters and a new battery. I sold it for $1300 and fifteen people were interested in it. After it was gone one of them offered $1600 over the phone, sight unseen, with desparation in their voice! I am told the car is now on its way to Costa Rica.

I wonder why a 200k miles ECHO would be so attractive lol.
The Toyota name probably helped, and that bullet proof engine. |

 ) is that 'Cash for Clunkers' reduced the pool of such cars. A decrease in supply can push prices up  .

You can see the antenna is missing. Came that way from the dealer.
Anyone got a spare one if the dealer wont make good on it?
