Hello all!

I really need all the help I can get. I cant make up my mind, really on the fence with this one...

Im hunting for that 5sp echo that I can mod to 50mpg

Looked at a 2003 echo 5sp with only 40,000 miles today!

Car runs and shifts great. It has an R title and I saw the pics prior to the repair. it was struck with a tree branch damaging the roof and windshield, not even any other glass was damaged so considering the damage and the repair to cut the roof and replace it, I'm really not concerned moving forward and I want to keep the car for at least one year but if I go to sell the car, i know its really going to be hard to do so...(who knows gas could be $5 a gallon next year and then all bets are off).........I think he will take 4k for the car......hes asking close to 5k

What do u think?
