Thinking of buying the 2000 Toyota Echo?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2000 Toyota Echo for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page helps you judge the 2000 Toyota Echo before you buy one anywhere.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. NHTSA has 88 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, air bags and vehicle speed control.
Reading the spec sheet
Power comes from the 1.5L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 7.4 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 22 litres of fuel. Driving 300 km costs roughly $34.41 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,100 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Size and space
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. For luggage, 396 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Echo answers the big questions. A test week in the Echo tells you more than any review.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $114.70 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
When you know your dates
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2000 Toyota Echo from us first.
