#5427 of 5644 base by kneisl1 Jun 27, 2008 (12:45 am)
Not the situation at all here. No bases not even Yaris's on the lot. You have to order. None of the three dealers around me even has a single Yaris in stock. Replies to this message: nippononly (Jun 27, 2008 9:22 am)
#5428 of 5644 NO YARIS'S by moparblue2 Jun 27, 2008 (6:09 am)
i don't no were you live. but you can go on line to toytoa.com & find yaris's all over the US. were you live they are just driveing the price up for more profit. i think this might be ellegal. i would check other dealers. i haved save a lot of money before just bye driveing 100 miles. dealers sevice dept. do not care were you bye. sevice is a big part of dealer income. wether warraty or oil change.

They seem to be building a lot more of those. I have also noticed that if you want a totally base car, it is easier to find hatches than sedans. I assume you would be interested in a sedan, eh?
#5430 of 5644 sedan by kneisl1 Jun 27, 2008 (1:54 pm)
Well I have found the ECHO as a sedan to be not as inconvient as I first thought. And the Yaris hatch does not have all that much rear room with the rear seats up. The 2 door version of the ECHO has monster openings for doors that helps get things into the rear of the car with the seats down. I would probably want a hatchback all said and done though. But truth be told it would depend a lot on what deal I could get. Anything is possible given the right price. It DDOES appear though that my diesel ECHO dream is a dead duck, given the price of diesel fuel these days. Im thankfull I dont have a diesel ECHO!

Replying to: kneisl1 (Jun 27, 2008 1:54 pm) Well, the next dealer over from me, perhaps 10 miles away, just took delivery of 5 base Yaris hatchbacks, zero options, two stick shift and 3 automatic. The zero-option ones are fairly easy to find around here: while they are selling quickly, there always seem to be more arriving on the truck to replace them.   Me, I would definitely want the convenience package just to get the bigger rims and a CD player. But I am torn between that and the full-on power package 'S' with alloys. They seem to be shipping those now with ABS as well. And a sticker of just under $16K, not bad.
#5432 of 5644 Off Road ECHO by babyboomer Jul 05, 2008 (5:10 am)
My son and wife decided to ride around in a Between-The-Lakes Kentucky State Park in their beloved ECHO. The road became more Off Road than road. It was rough but the ECHO did well except they said it will need an front end alignment. What do you think they learned from this? Replies to this message: nippononly (Jul 05, 2008 11:07 am)

Replying to: babyboomer (Jul 05, 2008 5:10 am) Ummm, that while the Echo is really great for lots of different things, riding around on ungraded roads is probably not one of its fortes?
#5434 of 5644 Another ECHO in the Family! by kneisl1 Aug 13, 2008 (9:29 am)
I just bought a 2000 silver four door for my son to replace his 93 Altima which has 138k miles on it. 117k miles, one owner, (woman collage professor) auto, ac works (everything works) clock, manual remote control mirrors (mine dont even have that!) CD/tape/AMFM. Good rubber. Clean air filter and appears to have the maintenance up to date. Did a scan of the error codes which turned up a clean slate. There is a bit of broken plastic on the right front corner of the car involving the underside of the bumper. CV joint boots were good, no leaking brake fluid anywhere, exhaust system has no holes, car ran and drove as it should. Now what would you say if it was $3000? Deal...or no Deal?

Replying to: kneisl1 (Aug 13, 2008 9:29 am) I believe that I would have to take that deal. Replies to this message: nippononly (Aug 14, 2008 8:13 pm)

Replying to: lhanson (Aug 13, 2008 12:16 pm) Yeah, you won't do much better than that for a high mile Japanese car with no known issues (I don't consider the bit of broken bumper molding an issue), good rubber, and the reliability of the Echo. Deal!
