Needs brakes all the way around at least 1 rotor maybe 2 needs new tires has a exhaust leak rear passenger side spring slid out of place some hanging down over the base return line for gas fumes rotted off most lines that go to the charcoal canister are in bad shape or just not on there anymore (my county has emissions ) where the rear axle bar mounts to the unibody severe rust could come unattached upper rails where the shocks mount are getting pretty bad can put my fingers through them was still fairly solid where they mount but have checked since last fall. Inner rocker have holes front arm that comes off of unibody on drivers side is getting bad where it mounts and on the bottom .Paid 800.00 in 2015 was pretty beat up lots of dents plus a tree fell on it and put more dents in it when I owned it. Clear coat is peeling of pretty good looks generally beat could use struts and shocks but not horrible check engine light has been on the whole time I owned it. That's just what I know about probably more. I put 70,000 miles on it motor and tranny go allot more probably but I used it as a work beater and it served me well one of the best cars I ever had but I live in the Allegheny mountains PA and the salting kills vehicles all the time. I saw 2 Echo's in the last 6 months that were nicer than mine that were being sold because they would not pass inspection anymore( 1 only had 100000 miles on it) pretty common around here. Either way would cost a fortune to fix.
