Toyota Echo, 1999 5D Hatchback 5 SP Manual (1.3L - Multi Point F/INJ) 5 Seats

UP FOR SALE HERE, IS OUR 1999 TOYOTA ECHO 5 DOOR HATCHBACK.
WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 18 MONTHS AND DURING THIS TIME, IT HAS GIVEN US ZERO ISSUES / PROBLEMS.
WE BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A SECOND CAR. IT HAS COVERED AROUND 10,000 TROUBLE FREE KILOMETRES IN THAT TIME.
I PUT A FULL 12 MONTHS REGISTRATION ON THIS CAR TODAY ( MONDAY 14TH JULY ).
THE CAR PASSED A LEGIT PINK SLIP INSPECTION THIS MORNING ( MONDAY 14TH JULY 2014 ) WITHOUT ANY ISSUES.
I WILL NOT BE CANCELLING THE GREEN SLIP ( CTP ). AFTER A WEEK OR TWO, IT SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY BE TRANSFERRED INTO THE NEW OWNERS NAME. THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR.
THIS IS QUIET RARE AMONG ECHOS IN THAT IT IS A FIVE DOOR HATCH. YOU REALLY DO NOT SEE MANY AROUND AS THE FIVE DOORS WERE AN OPTION YOU PAID FOR, HENCE MOST BEING THE THREE DOOR HATCH VARIANTS THAT ARE MORE EXPENSIVE TO INSURE AND IN ALL HONESTLY, A LOT LESS USEFUL.
COLOUR IS GOLD AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES.
THIS CAR HAS ICY COLD AIR CONDITIONING & CHILD LOCKS ON THE REAR DOORS. STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL TOYOTA ECHO FLOOR MATS THAT ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL STEREO IS FITTED. IT WORKS SO WE SAW NO NEED TO CHANGE IT.
ANTI LOCK BRAKES WERE PICKED AS AN OPTION BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER. NOT SOMETHING YOU SEE ON MANY ECHOS AT ALL.
SEATS HAVE THE SAME SEAT COVERS ON AS WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR. WE JUST LEFT THEM ON. THE SEATS BENEATH ARE VERY CLEAN AND RIP / TEAR FREE.
ONE OPTION THIS CARE DOES NOT HAVE IS POWER STEERING. WAS NO BIGGIE TO ME AS THIS IS A LIGHT, EASY TO STEER CAR. SHOULD YOU WISH, YOU CAN HAVE POWER STEERING RETRO FITTED ( WAS QUOTED $450.00 ALL UP ) BUT PERSONALLY ? I DID NOT SEE THE POINT.
THIS CAR HAS NO CENTRAL LOCKING AND ALL FOUR WINDOWS ARE THE MANUAL VARIETY. AS THIS WAS OUR SECOND CAR, I AVOIDED CARS FULLY LOADED AS THERE IS THEN LESS TO GO WRONG IN THE LONG TERM.
AS THE PICTURES SHOW, THIS CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE. NOT MANY AROUND THIS CLEAN AND TIDY NOWADAYS.
AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, THE CAR DOES HAVE SOME STONE CHIPS AND A COUPLE OF VERY MINOR CAR PARK DINTS.
ENGINE IS A 1.3LTR AND IS SERIOUSLY ECONOMICAL. SINCE TAKING OWNERSHIP, WE HAVE RUN THE CAR ON 95 OCTANE, UNLEADED PETROL. IT HAS A 40 LITRE TANK AND THAT TANK HAS CONSISTENTLY RETURNED 600 - 650 KILOMETRES PER TANK. MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS CAR IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ON FUEL ! YOU JUST CANNOT BEAT IT. THIS LITTLE BUZZ BOX WILL CRUISE ALL DAY ON THE FREEWAY AT 100 - 110KPH
WE PUT 4 NEW TYRES ON THE CAR AROUND 5000 KILOMETRES AGO AND THEY HAVE JUST BEEN ROTATED. TYRES ARE AT 100%, WITH ZERO SIGNS OF WEAR.
THE CARE WAS LAST SERVICED IN MAY OF LAST YEAR. BETWEEN THEN AND NOW, WE HAVE ONLY PUT 7000 KILOMETRES ON THE CAR BUT WILL HAVE IT SERVICED BEFORE WHOEVER BUYS HER, TAKES OWNERSHIP. ALL SHE NEEDS IS AN OIL AND FILTER CHANGE AND WE WILL HAVE A NEW FAN BELT INSTALLED FOR PEACE OF MIND FOR THE NEW OWNER. WE WILL, OF COURSE, SUPPLY A RECEIPT OF WORK DONE.
CURRENTLY, I HAVE SOME TIME ON MY HANDS. ANY ONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME AND HAVE A LOOK AT THE CAR AND TAKE HER FOR A SPIN IS MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME ON DOWN !
MY NUMBER IS 0424 148 291
I WILL SAY THAT THE PRICE IS PRETTY FIRM, WITH A LITTLE BIT OF MOVEMENT. I HAVE HAD A GOOD LOOK AROUND AND THERE IS NOTHING FLOATING AROUND WITH A FULL ( REMEMBER, MY CAR HAS JUST HAD A LEGITIMATE PASS ON IT'S PINK SLIP ) YEARS REGO AND LOW KILOMETRES THAT COME ANYWHERE NEAR THIS CAR.
THIS CAR, AS IT HAS DONE FOR US, WILL MAKE A BRILLIANT SECOND CAR / SCHOOL RUN CAR FOR SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT WANTS RELIABLE, HASSLE FREE MOTORING.
THE TOYOTA ECHO WAS TOYOTA'S LAST FULLY IMPORTED CAR INTO AUSTRALIA, MEANING THAT IT WAS FULLY BUILT / ASSEMBLED IN JAPAN. THE SMALL CARS I HAVE SEEN, IE : BARINA, GETZ, ACCENT AND EXCEL ARE LIGHT YEARS REMOVED FROM THIS CAR.
THE REASON FOR THIS SALE IS THAT I AM GETTING MY 1973 VW TYPE 3 SQUAREBACK ( WAGON ) BACK ON THE ROAD !
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LOOK AT THIS PAGE
