'04 Echo 5MT $1250

I may go look at this one:



EPA: 29 city / 37 hwy / 32 combined

Quote:
Date Listed 20-Apr-16
Price $1,250.00
For Sale By Owner
Year 2004
Kilometers 222000 (137k mi.)
Transmission Manual

Great little car, 1.5L Motor has a timing chain NO TIMING BELT so no costly belt change coming, these little motors run forever. Great on gas! Car is in Good shape, Plain Jane No power anything roll down your windows and lock your own door, nothing to go wrong. Great commuter car, Moving so must sell has set of All season tires on rims and winters on rims. Have service records from original owner been looked after
I contacted the seller who says it's being daily driven & has no issues. Only odd thing is it was advertised initially at $2k including the mandatory mechanical inspection. Now it's $1250 and the inspection isn't mentioned. I'll go check it out if it doesn't sell first.
