I look for those sometimes, but there are so few that aren't super high miles. One time several months ago I saw a great one on Craiglist and called only a couple of days after the ad went up, but it was already gone.

What did you like better about the Echo?

N&C, one I was considering was in your neck of the woods, a silver 2012 MT with 91k miles at Gullo in Conroe. I thought about driving down to get it even though I'm several hours away up in north Texas. Almost wish I had. It looked really clean from the pics and I think they were only asking like $8200.
