I'd be going to look at this one PDQ if I needed a beater:

29 city / 37 hwy / 32 combined - EPA

For Sale By Owner
Year 2001 Toyota Echo
Kilometers 250000 (155k mi.)
Transmission Manual

Had this car for 8 years. The engine has about 250 000 kms. The body is not in that much of gear condition but the car is mechanically sound ! Has a new clutch and brakes. Has winter tires and also summer tires on rims that come with the car. The runs great and is exceptionally cheap on gas. Tank fills for about 40 dollars and runs for about 750 kms. Everything is functional on the car.

It is an excellent winter beater or a commuter car. The body has some rust but the mechanics are very well! I currently drive the car to and from Toronto 3 times a week for work.

I'm selling as is but I don't honestly think you need anything for safety or etest.

Looking to sell asap so if interested you can come take it off my hands. You won't find a good mechanically well car for this price.

first come first serve

Asking 1000$
