Finally getting a Toyota

Ive really wanted a yaris for almost 2 years now, but working a low paying job, it was never feasable. This week I found a 2001 ECHO at a dealer with 43600 miles on it and if all goes well I will be trading in my focus of doom for it on tuesday. The car looks brand new, aside from some rear bumper scufs. I will post some pics when I take her home. Until then, here is a dealer provided pic. Its pretty much a base model with an auto trans and alloy wheels

If Toyota stopped making cars, I would stop driving...period. Before I got properly schooled in buying value, I went through numerous Fords and GM products. Fortunately, I got smarter, and have been putting hundreds of thousands of miles on Toyos for 20 years.

You can see the caliper in the front wheel and the valve stem comes out of the silver alloy wheel metal too.
If not, then those be some pretty impressive hubcaps!
