2001 Toyota ECHO Coupe 2dr Coupe (1.5L 4cyl 5M)
Best value around.
 This car has been in my family since it was purchased for ~$10k in 2001.There is currently 130k miles on it. I'm still averaging around 40mpg in the summer and 36mpg in the winter. Crazy that this car is still worth something in the neighborhood of $3-3.5k private party. You can't ask for more than that. If it weren't for the need to fit two car seats (2nd child on the way), I would never give this car up. It's just too good of a value. I should also mention that it's very fun to drive.Work performed: computer failed at about 90k ($1100), bushings replaced (120k),engine coil replaced (120k), catalytic converter needs to be replaced along with the exhaust (MN winters = rust + holes)
