You might want to check out a site for Echo parts. It's http://copartfinder.com. (no WWW on purpose- the link doesn't work with www inserted). Good luck! Sorry to hear about your little incident Lynn. It could have been worse though. Glad you are okay.
#53 of 5646 Thanks vocus by lynnann1 Oct 25, 2000 (2:05 pm)
I am telling you that after I hit her and saw how her rear was mushed, I just pictured my whole front end messed up. But it's not really that bad, it's just the inconvenience it puts you in. I didn't even notice the scratches on the hood till I got home. Not to mention I was having a really good day, until then. Talk about going into a quick depression. Then I couldn't sleep that night. I have an appointment to take it to the appraiser next week. I am usually a very careful driver, but I have known so many people who have been in the same situation the person moves forward at a speed that appears they are going to merge into traffic and they stop. I checked out the site, but unfortunately they're all too far away make it worth my while.

My mother has been driving for nearly 40 years, and one time she rear-ended a pickup truck who did the same thing the car you hit did. Coincidentally, that was her only at-fault accident in all that time of driving. So that proves that even the best make mistakes. It would have been alot worse, or the person you hit could have been nasty and took legal action.

#56 of 5646 No ABS in KY !?!? by jeremyl1 Oct 25, 2000 (9:18 pm)
The Echo is an attractive package, but I lost interest when the salesman said that ABS is "not available in this region." This is to be a vehicle for my teenaged son, so I want all safety features. Anyone know how to get an Echo with ABS in Louisville, KY? How far (north, I assume) would I have to go, Cincinnati?

Sorry about your Echo/TARDIS mishap. I thought the Seafoam Blue was supposed to be one of the most liked colors (although I know they didn't make many of them.) I wonder why they didn't...

I wouldn't let the fact that it doesn't have ABS persuade you from not getting this car. Most people do not even know how to use this feature properly. The real benefit of ABS is that it allows you to steer while stopping fast. However, most people panic and don't steer out of harms way. Also, I would probably put more emphasis in the 60-0 distance and how it compares with other cars that you are considering.

I think the fault lies with Edmunds and not anything that we can do about it until they update it. At home where I have AOL, I have added Echo #7 to my favorites but here at work I have to go through a long process as I don't understand how to bookmark. Sorry.
#60 of 5646 Re Power Pack by echoz Oct 25, 2000 (11:37 pm)
Thanks for your comments We will go for the power pack, as its nice to have the power windows. Also the velour trim is quite nice too. I might try to fit cruise control after we get it and run it in. I fitted it to our Corolla and it wasn't to difficult, apart from finding a place to mount the speed sensor on the transaxle. lynanne 1 - usually we get crappy options in Australia so it is unusual that we should be getting power windows whereas in the US you don't. We also get digital speedo and tacho in the central pod, not the analogue instruments that the US model has.
