#31 of 5646 Touch up paint by sonatafan Oct 24, 2000 (6:20 pm)
I have the black sand pearl paint and used my Toyota touch up paint on the rear bumper where someone scraped it (anonymously of course). The paint looks very good. I like the metallic flake type black paint on my car because it blends the touch up in better.

I am still looking for a dealer where to buy my car. I will definitely have to factory order my Echo since I want basically every bell and whistle (including ABS, but not power windows). I will post the color, body style, and option codes later on.      I have been down to Kenny Thomas in Olathe where I took my test drive. I have also been to Superior Toyota and I have been in contact with Jay Wolfe Toyota, but have not been able to find the time to drive by. Jay Wolfe is closest to my house and has given me the best quote, but price and how I feel I will be treated after the sell is what will help me the most in determining a dealer. Recent ads make me want to look at Molle Toyota and Adams Toyota in Raytown. Thanks for the warning about the high documentation fee charged by Superior. That is one point I will be negotiating down at whatever dealer.      You can ignore the comments about the Echo looking girly. Those comments were made by our resident pot stirrer and I think he was making those comments to get a reaction.      Regarding the high insurance cost, how is your credit history? Most people don't know that bad credit can lead to higher insurance premiums. Really bad credit can lead to a denial of insurance in fact.      After we get our Echos, would really love to meet you and MelodyEcho. Perhaps we can start a KC Echo car club or something. : )

I just had a chance to read the "new" review. I thought it was much better written and a lot less objectionable. I still object to the Civic being characterized as larger. The Civic is larger in one or two categories, but overall the Echo is the larger of the two.

Who's reaction am I seeking? (Don't tell me yours). The Echo looks girly. It's not necesarely a bad thing. Lots of guys drive chick's cars. To each of his own. How is your daydreaming about the Echo? I'm sure it always appears in pink.
#35 of 5646 Echo or Civic by rra123 Oct 24, 2000 (8:00 pm)
Hi, Can anyone post a comparison of Echo and Civic I am specifically comparing 4-dr Automatic Tx Echo with DX Civic 4-dr Automatic Tx Things that are important to me are :      1. Reliability      2. Safety      3. Fuel-economy      4. Cost I do not care at all about Looks, fun-to-drive, Frills such as Power-door,power-locks or cruise-control or even A/C The lower cost of Echo is offset by the fact that it not available without all the frills (so I have to pay for all upgrade packages) Also the impression i get is that Echo is susceptible to Cross-winds. Can it lose balance or go out-of-control if let's say I am driving at 60 to 70 mph on Dumbarton or Bay bridge and it is a windy day
#36 of 5646 Gee by sonatafan Oct 24, 2000 (9:30 pm)
If the Echo could go out of control in a crosswind wouldn't Nader be able to dust of all his old notes and start a new crusade??
#37 of 5646 ECHO uh oh by lynnann1 Oct 24, 2000 (10:19 pm)
I rear ended a lady who suddenly changed her mind about entering traffic yesterday evening. Echo is okay, a dent in the passenger side of the bumper and some scratches on the hood. Her car was worse. 1987 Honda Accord, her driver's side rear fender was pretty crinkled. It was rusty and it didn't hold up too well. The State Trooper only gave me a verbal warning. I've never had a ticket and this is my first accident where it was my fault. Replies to this message: bpaigo (Jan 19, 2007 7:54 am)

Oh, you have been to Jay Wolf Toyota? They didn't call me, just a reply that someone will contact me soon and if I have any question I can write them back or call them.... somehow I feel that they're going to ignore me because I asked for a quote of RAV 4 last week.... You said Jay Wolf have best quote, could you tell me what price? Is my quote fair or can be better, $13600 for almost everything. I have almost perfect credit. I used to pay my credit card clear until few months ago where I just graduated and was jobless... now that I got a job and I'm clearing my credit cards.... I don't own a lot though, just about 3 thousand.... not that bad right? Statistics show that average American own $6000 dept. I'm watching Dateline NBC now and they talk about how SUV have problem with rollover... I'm glad I didn't get RAV4 (can't affort also)... I'm driving a 91 Tracker now and I always have problem with turns, especially during bad weather. Oh, this friday, I'm not sure which news program, either 20/20, or Dateline, they will talk about what should we know about hidden fee when buying a car... I'm going to buy a car on saturday so definately will not miss this show.... I believe is 20/20 because I remember Barbra Walter. Hey, give me whatever quote you have, would you? I just don't have time to go to all the dealers. Thanks.
#39 of 5646 Paperwork Fee by melodyecho Oct 25, 2000 (3:11 am)
The paperwork fee varies greatly from dealer to dealer in K.C. It WAS a factor in my decision to buy at Molle. The paperwork fee was very minimal. The Edmund True Market Value data was helpful. That and the information about the dealer holdback on the Edmund site.

It was your fault, yet the cop only gave you a verbal warning?! Man, the females of the species can get away with just about anything... GEEz!
