Okay so i just got my license and want a toyota car!

I went to the toyota dealer and they had a 2004 Toyota Echo Hatch back for 14,900. It has air condit, automatic, and is two door, white, with some paint chips on the hood (dealer said they would possibly fix them). Is this a good price and also a good first car?

I would like to know this because i would have to finance it with toyota.

Also the price is in canadian.

Thanks in advance!

its an ok deal

you really want an auto though? a 5spd would be more spritely....

but 04 youre likely almost out of bumper to bumper warranty......which isnt great dispite the low kms

likely an old lady that drove it.....so not driven hard

i just wouldnt drive one with an auto...

well auto is the only thing in know how to drive. (i can drive standard. its just really sad) and the dealer is gonna throw in an extra year of warrenty. so i can have the warrenty to sept 9, 2009 or 120,000 kms.

but is it the powertrain to 120,000kms or the extra care package (ECP) to 120k too?

and really, the only way youll learn to drive stick is owning one (or test driving a ton of cars like i did!)

ok wat if i give the dealer 12,000 canadian dollars would it be a good deal then
