My bad. Probably because the only Toyota I was searching for a long time was a Prius. I keep forgetting what it is I bought when I go for parts or searching online.

I probably paid too much, considering...$2500...though I don't feel ripped off, considering how solid it is and how well it runs (in spite of how it's been treated).

I could have picked up a sedan two days later for $1800 (it sold PDQ mind you), but it wasn't blue and it wasn't a hatchback. (I wouldn't have paid more than a few hundred bucks for an "ugly" automatic). Basically I paid more to get what I wanted. (though, after shopping around, $2500 is on the low end of most Echos selling locally. Most start at $3000 and go up from there).
