boought at 54K miles one owner. currently pushing 190K with minimal maintenance needs. replaced clutch at 140K-nothing unusual. at the same time i replaced timing belt and water pump b/c it was connected to the timing belt. -this work was nothing but preventative , no problems were encountered to cause the work. AC unit went out about 140K. again nothing major. thats it. brake pads, batteries, tires, oil, filters, etc all routine requirements for maintaining a vehicle to cox out its best life. this engine runs strong with great acceleration throughout the whole shift spectrum, rides comfortably (not a lexus), gets you where you want to go without breaking down. currently buying a 2005 avalon xls b/c of the prior toyota experience. researched and looked for six months before buying the avalon from a private party, although i test drove some dealer cars to. drove lexus es300, rx300, ls430, jaguar, infiniti i35 and g35, maxima and altima , plus camry xle and other avalons, before deciding on this one. will report on the avalon in coming months and a few years later. all the other comparably driven cars were 2004 - 2006 except the jag, it was 2002. none of the other cars were bad in anyway. but when comparing ride, price, maintenance, visibility, cargo space, passenger comfort F & B, and personal satisfaction, the avalon came out the winner. my 2000 toyota was equally compared and it again was the winner. i'm keeping the 2000 toyota b/c i believe it will go another 50,000 miles with little trouble.
