Car financing: the 2001 Toyota Echo
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2001 Toyota Echo for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 2001 Toyota Echo for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
A buyer's checks
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 50 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, engine and engine cooling and service brakes; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Specs, explained
The 1.5L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The EPA rates it at 7.4 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 22 litres. Every 100 km costs about $11.47 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,100 a year for 15,000 miles.
Living with the Echo
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. With 396 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Drive it on your own roads
Drive the Echo on your commute before you commit to it. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Echo for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. 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.
Year and trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Ready when you are
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
