Check the description for products I use on my Avalon!

My 2011 avalon is awesome. 8500k 110000miles. Sky blue.

Best car on the road for the money period.

Absolutely is.

I have a 2007 Toyota Avalon Limited. Has nearly 263K miles. Still RUNNING and DRIVING good. Other than my 2000 Honda CR-V EX which I still have as well, it is one of the best vehicles I've ever owned. Great gas mileage for a V6. If driven conservatively, which I do most of the time, it has the fuel efficiency of a 4 cylinder and it has the POWER of a V8 when I put the PEDAL to the METAL.

Yeah, I'm completely surprised how Fast my 2008 is---but not so much when there is a second person in the car---let alone a full backseat. Needless to say, I try to KEEP the car empty !

What a gorgeous Avalon, these are some of my favorite cars. I'm envious! I think it's an outstanding value, the affordable Lexus without the Lexus label, for short, the smart man's Lexus. My favorite besides the current generation is probably the 1998, the refreshed version of the 1995.

I currently drive a 06 Limited with 187,000 on the clock .. One of the most smoothest running cars you could drive! I could barely feel it running at stop lights and fuel mileage is outta this world for a V6 .. On a recent trip to Rhode Island I got her up to 29.3 miles a gallon at average 75-80mph 😁 AC compressor just seized up and the Cat is starting to rattle a lil but Man O Man this baby moves like it had 40,000 on the clock! Would definitely recommend 👍🏽

We purchased ours in December 2020 for $10k with 131k miles. Time for the second oil change. I love everything about it. It’s comfortable, has excellent features and great mileage. I still can’t bring myself to part with my 04 Camry XLE though.

I picked up a 2011 Avalon, with 120,000 mi on it. A year and 6 months ago. Paid 8,000 cash. Has the reddish brown leather interior. I'm at 199,000 miles right now. Replaced a few bearings. I think that back strut needs work. Got a small leak on my power steering that I fixed with a new clamp. Runs like, and looks new. The transmission fluid did turn black. But I did get a pinhole in My radiator about 170,000 miles. Had everything replaced. I think I am using the original spark plugs and injectors without issue. The worst thing, and only bad thing about this car is that automatic back sunshade breaks. I was actually searching for a Avalon specifically and had a hard time finding one that wasn't trashed. Usually what happens is a grandparent dies, it gets passed down to the kids and they trash it. Then it goes up for sale. It's a car best for highways though. 90 percent of my miles are spent between 80mph and 110mph.

I have a 2012 Avalon. As I wrote under another video of theirs, I love everything about it but one thing: There is no transmission dipstick or fill tube (In case you were going crazy looking for it LOL). You have to access it via the driver side wheel well, take off a panel (2 bolts) for access and there are a couple of bolts to the transmission. One on the side and one underneath transmission which has a bolt to the pan and another little plastic overflo tube within it. Really an engineer f'up if you ask me. But with transmission attention needed very rarely I still love the car. Would probably recommend taking car to Toyota dealer for any transmission check, fluid change, etc. For DYI folks there are numerous videos on how to do it yourself, but it is a process.

Good videos you’ve made on the Avalon. My family has a 2006 Avalon and we love it; cheap to run, luxury, comfortable, reliable everything we could ask for. I have recently had to replace some things (water pump, ac compressor) but not unexpected on a nearly 16 year old car. We plan to pass the car down to my younger brother heading off to college next fall and my dad will purchase a new 2022 model (the final model year before Toyota axes the Avalon).

You are right, amazing value here! I really wish my 2017 Camry XLE has the auto dimming exterior mirrors like on your Avalon. It looked like Toyota revived your elegant alloys on the 2015-2017 Camry XLEs.

I have a 2011 also I love it it has now just under 80.000 miles good car to buy 👍👍

I am thinking of buying one.

I have a 2011 Avalon with 305000 miles on it. It rides and drives as if it had 30,000 on it. Mobile 1 synthetic every 5000 miles. I believe it's one of the best cars on the road.

Just bought a 2011 Avalon base and I’m picking it up tomorrow! It was kind of a quick decision because my current daily, a Pontiac G6, is coming apart at the seams (at 90k miles lmao). I’m excited to see what a 3.5L V6 fwd “upper tier” sedan looked like from two very different brands.

Yeah I'm looking at these cars maybe from 20111-15 what I can afford . I see some limited and XLE trims going for under 9 grand with at least 80-170 K miles

Is the larger trunk and better handling of 2013+ worth the trade-off of bigger backseat and smoother ride on the 2011-2012

I have a 2011 limited also with only 59k on it. Love the car! Yelp, it might be called the "Grandpa car" but Grandpa be riding nice on the down low🤣.

Honestly though 🤣 that's how I feel haha but you've definitely got damn near a brand new car still!

Just picked up a 2014 - beginning to like it. The interior colors (variety of browns) is annoying and the texture of the leather is not very supple. The drive and comfort is great except for the passenger seat only being 4 way instead of 6 way on the model we have.

Can you help me get one 2012 limited edition not above 60k mileage

It's a more discrete luxury car. It's a way to have basically a Lexus without "showing off". It's what Buick a Buick Park Avenue was to a Cadillac DeVille back in the days when Buick still actually made luxury CARS. That pretty much sums it up; A Japanese Park Avenue. I bought a few Park Aves at GREAT bargain prices over the years as just like the Avalon they had an "old man" image. This is a dumb reason NOT to buy a car, Esp USED. If it WAS owned by a mature adult, it likely would be well cared for. I hope these never get TOO well known TOO soon, as an Avalon what I'm saving up for. (I want to pay cash!, LOL). Nice cars! 👍😊👍

I actually don't anymore. The headgasket blew on the car, and it made more sense financially to sell as is then to repair. I drove it in the snow a couple of times though with no issues. It wasn't super heavy snow. It would do great in the snow with some good tires though.
