NEED ECHO ADVICE

k, found this gem: http://www.kingsauto.ca/carinfo.php?id=375

ive been looking to swap either our aveo or yaris for something a bit more family oriented. my idea being something with a/c (which neither of our cars have), power locks (4dr w/ kid = teh suck), and potentially more space/versatility.

at the present time, i don't want a 3rd car (cost of ownership, insurance, etc)

so this means replacing either the aveo (only option is auto) or the yaris (has "b" package, but is 3dr hatch)

my mother-in-law lives with my wife, daughter and i and uses the aveo to drive around our daughter in the day and uses the aveo if we go away on teh weekends. she doesnt drive stick.

so i a certain way, im looking to replace the yaris with something more family oriented, but still economical enough for a daily driver and i don't want to spend much to swap out either of the cars for another new-to-us car.

i guess i see this echo sedan as the way out of my dilemma, as it were. its a 4dr and has a/c, power locks, and cruise for family hauling. its still a 5speed and i can still mod it enough due to its similar engine, etc to keep me happy. PLUS i wouldnt have to get new snow tires, summer tires, etc.

what do you guys think? am i just wasting time? is that a good price for the echo? (keep in mind this is a canadian listing, etc)
