Market Highlights
- The Reliability Floor: In 2026, the market for 'disposable' cars has shifted. Any running Toyota with a clean title now maintains a price floor between $1,500 and $2,200. The Echo is particularly prized because its simple engineering leads to lower long-term maintenance costs than more modern, complex subcompacts.
- Sacramento Regional Demand: Northern and Southern California buyers are currently prioritizing fuel efficiency. A manual Echo consistently achieves 30+ MPG, making it a high-utility asset for commuters looking to avoid high fuel costs and expensive insurance premiums associated with newer vehicles.
- Mileage Advantage: 170,000 miles is often the midpoint of a Toyota's lifecycle rather than the end. Compared to the expected 300k+ miles for this vintage, this specific Echo has significantly more mechanical longevity remaining, making the $1,300 asking price an aggressive value play.
