We just bought a 2000 Echo with 340,000 miles on it, and it runs great; we're looking to put another 100,000+ miles on it. Also, you probably know this, but the under seat tray is where the owner's manual goes.
@@kapo_7100 It runs great (we love driving past gas stations), but the aftermarket trunk lock broke, and we can't open the trunk until the new lock gets here. The flange(?) that holds the cable to the lock broke, and the cable is all stretched out, so the driver side latch doesn't work either. ::facepalm::
@@devmister3736 The engine's fine, it just eats up highway miles with a tiny spoon. We're having issues with the trunk lock that broke, but we found a replacement online; the dashboard rattles, and the clock light has a short, but it's to be expected at it's age. Overall we're pleased with it.
You forgot to mention be back seats laid down for more room I have a 2001 echo which has 100 280000 miles on it no problems I've changed three coil packs are for smart plugs from the time I've had it brand new it's an excellent car
wow mine is at 150,00 miles and not a single piece of rust out side of the vehicle. Amazing to see a 21 yr old car with NO RUST. My only concern is that it seems to eat a bit more gas than I thought it would. I've gotten a major tune up and changed all my fluids filters etc, new alternator battery is strong, radiator is flushed so not quite sure what the gas thing is about. I'm gonna try keeping it on full and see if that makes the gas last longer. Any ideas you have regarding that will be appreciated. My Cd and Tape player as well as all speakers work fine. Overall this is an AMAZING car. Just need a bit more room for the drivers leg room. bottom line - If you see this car guys GET IT!!! You''ll be glad you did!!!
Also mine came with a toyota security system - with a fob that opens and locks the doors. Only one of the door locks has to be manually locked. In the center of the cup holder area is a switch that locks and unlocks all of the doors - except the one door that has to be manually locked - the front passenger door. I've never seen a car this old that looks this good and everything works - except that one automatic lock I was telling you about it. Trunk is spacey and back seat is nice and roomy. I'm just over 6ft. I just need to know about how to make it get more gas mileage I have an automatic 2000, and what exactly does the security system do? Thank you for this video!!
😎🤔 I bought the 2001 Echo .. with 245000 miles on it.. it was owned by a family that towed it behind there Motorhome .. well maintained and clean as always the hood has chip damage but for $ 1500 and 35 plus to the gallon I parked my Caddie and drive this little JEM ... 😁😎
Great video! I'm the original owner of a 2002 4 door sedan Echo. It's an automatic 4 door sedan, and it came with cruise control and a rear spoiler. Runs great with close to 390000 miles 🚗
Love all the storage space you have in front, genius! I have the Yaris from 2000, still runs great with 240.000 km. Had the engine light too, it was the MAF sensor, bought an electrical spray cleaner and sprayed the 2 very thin wires, dried it with a hair blower. Did that because it was kinda hesitating on acceleration. Now it's perfect. 5 minutes job!
In Pakistan/India it comes as Toyota Platz 1000c automatic sedan. Underpowered, but quite comfy, roomy and excellent AC. One my friend custom installed manual and it no longer was Underpowered. Excellent and reliable car that is
I have a 2001 Toyota echo five-speed two door with 227,000 miles I have a 2003 Toyota echo four-door automatic with 166,000 miles they are the best cars on the planet I get 38 miles per gallon doing stop and go my automatic I get generally 41 with my five speed they are fantastic cars very easy to get in and out of and by the way that was an excellent video that you did perfect job everyone should be buying an echo thank you
I'm 6'1, so I was very happy when I heard you mention the extra space you have above your head. I'm going to be getting a 2000 two-door echo soon, I believe it has 118k miles on it. I haven't seen it in person yet but it seems like it'll be a good car after seeing this video.
Passed up on 1 of these today. Went 2 hours to get it and ended up not getting it because the dealer wanted 4,120$ and I was at 3500$. Had 99k on the dash. I'm thinking about going back and getting it Fri if it's still there. Can't get this car outta my mind!
@@edgaryzen4925 I called the next morning and it was already gone! Someone came and got it the same day after I left. Was on the lot for literally 2 days. Crazy.
I've owned two Echos a 2000 and a 2005 which is still my go about car. It has 135000 miles on it. I just replaced the alternator as that started to go. That was $$550.00 . Also had to replace the starter $250.00 Also the air conditioner unit which now overheats the vehicle so I don't use it.. That was $1700. Though it did last about five tears running constantly with the new replacement. I live in Hawaii. Also the engine mounts. That wa $1100.00 So a bit of money has been put into it. I have changed the oil about every three to four thousand miles. One thing I can say about both vehicles. I averaged 25mpg city and 29mpg highway. The car is a automatic four door and running the air conditioning has a lot to do with the mpg. Also the engine over time will shake which contributes to the engine mount wear over time. It's a comfortable vehicle even for a tall person I am 6 '5 " . It also has excellent all round visibility that's for sure. It is lightweight, nimble and rides beautifully and secure even at higher speed on the freeway. You can pick them up for a song used ofcourse and a little money put in will get and keep you going. The Yaris Toyotas replacement for the Echo if bought new today will have a Mazda engine ( sorry not foe me) and not half the unattractivenes that makes this car the Echo so attractive.
Nice!! I had an 03. Ironically I didn't like it but then fell in love and appreciated the quirky looks. The Echo had better mpg than the Yaris which I have now. I appreciate it now that I'm older.
That O/D light is on because your O/D button is pushed in. The button is located on my gear shift but I drive an automatic. i don't know where it would be located on a stick shift.
Yeah its probably from the evap part of the exhaust system. Since they was more of a "environment friendly" type of car they had quite a bit of things for emissions and stuff and it messing up on alot of them and keeps the light on, but has nothing to do with the way the engine runs. I love mine!
Actually I have a 2006 Toyota echo, to me the only different from the 2002, the 2006 doesn’t have a defroster in the back window😩 which I wish I had living in the snow. and I don’t have a clock in the dash😩. but I still A great car.
its probably from the evap part of the exhaust system or the charcoal canister for the gas tank for the fuel fumes.

@@Korina42 How many miles do you have now? Any problems with the transmission or engine? It’s crazy how these 20 yr old cars can last.
I still fondly remember my 2000 Echo. She was a great car, a true and reliable friend.
Got 2002 got it with 204k now 247k runs like a champ 🏆 still getting 39 mpg had it almost 3 years....BEST $500 I'VE EVERY SPENT...
I have a 2002 Echo and I am watching reviews as if I don't have the car parked outside. Haha

Have toyota echo 350,K on it, runs great
Nice and simple review
Very nice job. I am hoping to make a video soon about my 2001 4 dr automatic light blue echo. Hopefully, I can do as well as you. 😀
I love mine. Going to be repainting and rebuilding mine and will post some vids on here
Put a motorcycle engine in it

Thank you for the tour! Nicely done.
How do you get it inspected if the check engine light is on. In Virginia they won’t pass you until whatever is causing it is handled.
Great cars
These are excellent vehicles! I have 4 of them.
Wow! You have 4 all at once ?
@@rachels594 Yes, I had 4 and one was in a crash now down to just 3. I pulled all the parts I could and the motor out of the totaled one.

you’d feel if it doesn’t have power steering
