I just bought a 2003 with 200K miles on it. It was well maintained and drives beautifully. Really well built vehicle, rock solid and reliable. Great review, new sub.
@@pitohead8979 It's driving wonderfully. I went ahead and had the timing belt and water pump replaced. Couldn't find any record that it had been done so I erred on the side of caution.
From an artist’s perspective I think that Toyota’s designs for their luxury offerings were excellent and par-the-course around this time. Their understated, rounded, boxy shapes are very masculine and conveyed strength and dependability while also looking smooth and aerodynamic. It seems “boring” I guess but it’s exactly how I would like my ride to look: Tough and practical, but deftly elegant.
Mike C long story, I got one as a temporary car because I was tired of driving my SUV. the guy that was selling it sold me a silver 2003 one for under $3k and it had some scratches and bumps, but not too bad. I just replaced the front rotors, got an alignment, Cabin Filter, air filter, cleaned it up nice over. It had a check engine light but drove smoothly. I drove it for a month and listed it (emphasizing the bench seat) sold it for $3k, basically broke even. But now I’m in search for one that is in good physical condition with lower miles. This is a really underrated car and generation. It’s not just for old people lol. I actually enjoy driving it more than my Jetta GLI.
I like the review, it might be best to revise the title to show which year of Avalon it is. I owned this car all of high school and it’s a perfect first car.
My 02 Avalon was pretty floaty around corners when I first bought it. I put new struts on that motherfucker and it’s actually pretty fucking planted. You have t take suspension wear into account when it’s an old vehicle like that.
Just bought a 01xls with an interior that looks and smells brand new. Very excited. Especially since our 2017 suv we bought brand new, right now at 100k is going through oil.thats sold on the 30th of this month, bought the avalon with cash, done with cars and payments for hopefully 5+ years
@ShivamSingh-yg3tv I bought an 04 avalon with 116k for $4k 1 year ago but it needed a little work. Don't pay over 4k unless it has new shocks, rack & pinion & timing belt done otherwise you will most likely have to replace those things
I have a 2004 Toyota Avalon XLS. Has 400,000+ miles on it and drives great! People don’t realize if you take good care of a car it’ll last you no matter the mileage
My 2008 Lexus asks for Premium but I've run it on regular for years and it's doing just fine. Usually for these cars the premium ads like 7 horsepower, but it can run as low as regular.
This is exactly the type of my car but will 6 plugs. My car always jetting and when it start jetting all the car will be vibrating. Please anyone with ideas how to fix the problem
