The Best Toyota Avalon!! Here’s Why!! 

Buddy Dry OE engine and trans? And what maintenance have your done? Just got one with 140k. Love these cars. The 3.5 is pretty bulletproof

Im looking to replace my 2007 Corolla with an 05 Avalon with over 230000 miles.. everything ive read has me believing it should be a trouble free car being it was maintained. Im excited lol

Whattt?? I was debating on buying a 08 Avalon with 225k but nvm 😂😂

@@IamMicheTV I bought the Avalon I was talking about in my last post. It doesn't even have a check engine light! Been an awesome upgrade! Drives incredible.

@@cameronlovesevolve Great! How about the chassis?

Same i love mine! 2007 toyota avalon xl

Hows your guys mpgs im looking to get one

How much did you pay for it ?

@@romieeaftab6013 6800 with title, tag and taxes.. Runs great!

@@geminislim4484 should get one? i wanted a gs350 but im broke.

there is still a major design flaw with the VVTI cooler line. The 2007-08 had the line with the rubber section. I believe 2009 and newer did not. The cooler line is high pressure and has a rubber hose section in the middle of it that if compromised will cause the engine to lose all the oil very quickly. The solution is to replace it with the all steel line they put in the Lexus. It's not a huge deal, but definitely something to pay attention to.

@jamesshenay3426. I think it’s great yiir grandson likes it. I hear about so many young ppl not wanting… I’m 57 and obsessed with my 01. I can’t part with it. 130k is NOTHING mine has 205k and drives beautifully! I have an awesome 08 too but can’t past w my 01. It’s a Lexus in disguise!

My best 0-60 time is 4.8-4.9 seconds, stock, it’s on my channel. I have the limited 2006 model.

Mr. McMillian it only had a 5 speed, I doubt it’s faster than the updated 6 speed

@@vel6979 updated 6 speeds are only yielding lower 7's, the updated models have been engineered to yield greater mpg value over performance.

268hp very nice passing speed when wanted. And impressive since its fuel efficient, most in its category 3.7L and 3.8L held that hp @ 16 to 17 mpg in the city.

Just got the 07 man that engine crazy

Lorenzo Cooper........was it the one with V6 that packs 280hp?

How’s the sound system I listen to mostly bass heavy music?

@@luism8612it’s a JBL synthesizer so you’re in good hands with the audio 💯💪🏼

@jennybrandt5188 my 01 Avalon has 205k. I had it detailed finally. The carpet is beautiful- who knew. But I been obsessed with this car for like 7 years now. Drove it from NY to Florida literally like 12 times. I have an o8 and falling in love w it. But I can’t imagine selling this 01..

@@bradbrown6875 I agree.

Im looking at a 2000 XL tomorrow with 53,000 original miles. What would you think a fair price for it is. Is $7,000 too much? Thanks

@frankiemarchese2978 Wow - that’s incredibly rare to have such low miles. If it’s maintained and perfect I can understand them wanting that much. They are amazing. Be sure the timing belt was done. Because even at low miles it’s too many years w old timing belt. I’d they didn’t replace you will need to do immediately. If it breaks from being old it can ruin engine. If it’s mint as it should be and interior and exterior is perfect then it’s worth alot.

Make sure it was not sitting for long stints. Is the paint and interior perfect? For that price car needs to be perfection and have main fence records too. Of everything is a mystery is proceed w much caution Ore only worth it if; you have proof timing belt done and it’s perfection

Wade Hauff Glad you like it! Congrats on the new car!

what kind of radio replacement did you guys use

@@StephenChaidezJr I didn't replace anything but I did get an FM transmitter to play music with bluetooth.

Wade Hauff how do plug in the Fm transmitter?

@@jefflugard5483 Have mine in the charging port in the forward compartment of the center console. I have the Limited, not sure if it's the same on all trims though.

Just bought a 2005 Avalon Touring 133k miles today I love it paid 2700 all black with black leather interior

I got one, nice car dude !

How is the car now ? Looking at an 08 with 140k now .

1724435miles🥰

215k in mine crashed it twice & still running only repaired control arms wow

234,000 miles

From where

DanDan 215 the dealership didn't have any one of the dealers here n NC knew a lady who was selling it and gave me the info

Nice 👌

How much did you pay for it? I found one Toyota Avalon 2006 57,000 miles and guy wants $6,500?

James Farmer where u find it at

I’m looking at an 06, do they use a timing belt?

Holy crap. Mine is a 2005 with 175k and runs perfect

​@@roadgear4047chain

My 08 Limited was taking water in from the sun roof. Open the sun roof and run a small wire through the drain holes. I never knew there were drain holes til I looked very closely. Dry ever since.

I just got my 08 about a month ago and no problems at all except the other day I was driving it and I turned my a/c on and I noticed it was blowing out warm air I looked over at the temp gauge and it was way up on the hot. I'm taking it to a mechanic. I hope it's nothing major. Thanks for sharing because mines is an 08 too and it sounds like mines have the same problem your mom's had🌺

@@lasonialamay6786 Goodluck! If you can, try to avoid taking your 08 to the Stealership. They quoted my Mom over $1200. They told her it was the AC compressor was bad 🤥

Oh and Navigation system

Thank you I really appreciate the comment! It means a lot. Please be sure to like and subscribe if not already done so, thanks again!

I'm thinking from 2005 and up the 3.5 engine has a chain instead of the belt so no worries about changing a timing belt

Congrats, that's very nice of him.

Wow!

Damn!

Thats insane

Are you kidding us 😮

No way !

You are obviously right😎

Obviously

Obviously Im naked

What did you go with the the radio?

@@TheHamortime pioneer 4660nex

Why not simply explain to the 70 year-old how the GPS works, instead of getting into a huff? Not everyone is savvy with technology.

I’m thinking of buying one this weekend…have the choice of 05 and 06…do you recommend anything and what are the different classes please?

Thanks! That's the ticket.

About to buy one…trying to figure out what the issues are!

Watson Lee thanks for commenting! Now for comparing other large sedans to the Avalon it would take both for demonstration cause there’s pros and cons for both sides. The 2019 Avalon in comparison obviously has all the safety features you will suspect to find in the competing class of Toyota. I know toyota introduced apple car play but don’t believe the 2019 has android auto (I could be wrong but from my last reading that’s what I remember standing out). As far as the ride between the 2006 and 19 I can’t give a fair comparison since I haven’t driven a 2019 however I did drive the 2018 model. Still a really good ride and I will say between the 2006 and 2019 Avalon They are close to the same ride quality but for some reason I thought the 2006 was smoother over bumps and was really relaxing. However the 2018 models handling was better and you could feel a little extra power. If you are looking for the best ride and suspension setup Toyota has to offer for their current model I will look into the 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybird Limited. Either way great cars but ultimate way to compare is drive both and see what your thoughts are between the two and ask for a road with some bumps on the test drive to see which passes your comfort. Hope that helps and again thanks for the subscribe if you will like I have other videos out and starting to offer more for the channel so please be sure to see the new content! Thanks again for commenting!

@@PaoloTheCarGuy no problem! Will see new content.

Not sure what "quirks" you speak of the gen 3 avalon was the MOST reliable generation

@zoggrog8823 I'll inform you. The rubber oil lines are now all metal. The water pump was redesigned. The idler pulleys from the earlier 2gr was replaced with a stronger pulley. The earlier vvti rattle issues were resolved. Those are the quirks that were resolved from 3rd to 4th gen. Sometimes, there are issues with OCVs even when the engine is well maintained. That's an easy DIY. Very reliable engine, but no machine is perfect.

Kenneth Michael im glad your enjoying it, these are awesome cars! And that Would’ve been nice lol. Also wanted to thank you for subscribing to the channel and hope you see some new content I brought to the channel! Enjoy your car

@@PaoloTheCarGuy I've got a Kenwood touchscreen on the way from crutchfield. Should solve my bluetooth issues.

A Bluetooth FM transmitter would've worked great too, no need for a radio change with that, under $20.00 for one too.

i just got a 08 and it has an aux port in the middle arm rest

I just bought one too! 140k. I saw the tape on the radio. Where do you put the tapes in?? I have a Bluetooth cassette tape hahaha. And wanna listen to my beats.

Hi! how much did you get it for? I am undecided if to take get the one being offered to me from a private seller- 43,000miles -2005

@@dedeenorola1610 hi, I bought mine from a dealer. Was only $5200

@@dedeenorola1610 what is your price?

@@dedeenorola1610 That's good mileage for that year.I have an 05 had it for 2years no problems.But a new battery

Underrated comment lmao

siucbset pretty sure none of that was an issue for my father and never replaced. He now sold it so cant tell you further issues if there was any in honesty. The thing just need oil changes and tires for the most part lol. And if you aren’t already please subscribe and like! I have other videos be sure to check them out! Thanks for commenting

@@PaoloTheCarGuy, you will not know until it is too late. The rubber of the VVT-i hose ages with time, cracks and can cause a catastrophic dumping of the engine oil. Get it checked and make sure they replace with the tube for the Lexus ES350. By the way, 2012 model year is rated as the best year for Avalon.

@@robertweber3140 now I know where my oil is leaking from. Thank you. I have 2002 Avalon, will the tube from Lexus es350 fit on it's oil line

@@Hardlabor1978, I had heard the Toyota fix was a different rubber tgat failed again, Then was told the fix for LEXUS was an all metal tube. Suggest for your car to search the Toyota Owners forum.
