Replying to: coach57 (Mar 05, 2008 5:59 pm) I couldn't believe the similarities between your post and mine from over a year and a half ago. I bought an 07 Avy in Sept. of 06.. but before I bought it, I was actually at a Buick dealership down the street from the toyota dealership, about to sign the papers on a new Lucerne with the Northstar, when my wife talked me into putting the signature on hold for 30 minutes and at least go look at the Avalon. I did, couldn't believe how much bigger the Avy felt ( i'm a big boy, not tall mind you, just big.. we'll leave that alone for now  than the Lucerne.. Not only that, I too traded in a Deville. I will disagree with you on one minor point. I don't think the ride in the Avy compares to the ride in the Deville.. for that matter I thought the Lucerne had a little bit better ride too, but not enough to persuade me to change my mind. Have had my car since sept. of 06 and absolutely love the car.. Car will get up and run when called on, but still gets very good gas mileage.. My only, and this is my only complaint, in cold weather ( low 40's and colder ) my sunroof has a rattle. However, as soon as the heater warms up the interior of the car, the rattle stops. So on those few days it gets that cool down here in Louisiana I just turn on the heater and a minute or two later, problem solved. Hope you enjoy your avy as much as I have enjoyed mine. Roland

| Since this site was a wonderful aid to me buying a new Avalon Limited, I want to share my experience. I followed the roadmap laid out in chapter nine of "Confessions of a Car Salesman" and ultimately got two local dealers bidding against one another, and I believe I got a great deal. I bought a Limited with an MSRP of $37,294 for an out the door price of $33,124. Of course taxes and title are extra but this price did include a $129 document prep fee and I got a full tank of gas. That is 88.8% of MSRP!!! The dealer had to find the car I wanted and truck it in. I took delivery this morning. It has the laser cruise control, the 8 way passenger seat and vehicle stabilty control, floor and trunk mats and body side molding and is Blizzard Pearl in color. Keep posting your results. It helps!!! | |

I've been driving my 2008 Avalon Limited for 10 days or so. I used my Credit Union's internet car pricing service (similar to the email-type service available at Edmunds) to start getting prices. One of the problems in Houston is that most of the vehicles get aftermarket add-on packages once they pass through the Gulf States Distribution center. These packages are of varying levels of uselessness, and may make it harder to get a decent price unless you order a spec vehicle -- in which case I anticipated that a dealer would be less likely to negotiate. Fortunately, I ended up with a couple of dealers competing with each other over the internet in terms of price on an incoming spec-vehicle (i.e. prior to add-on packages). I was ready to take the plunge on a vehicle that was 2-weeks away from delivery, but was fortunate to find a vehicle on a dealer's lot that was previously special ordered for someone else (and likewise, did not have the add-on packages). The dealer met my price requirements, of which the internet price emails I had on hand. $35,300 plus TT&L 2008 Avalon Limited, Blizzard Pearl Nav System, Laser Cruise, VSC, Power Passenger Seat, Car Mats Park Pilot (Rear Park Assist) to be added by dealer next week I also was able to take advantage of O%/36 Month Financing. The Blizzard Pearl with the light interior was not my first choice in color, since I knew that it would be difficult to keep clean (especially the interior -- when you put my young children in the equation). However, it sure looks beautiful when clean!!

| Hello, I'm interested in obtaining a 36 month lease on the stated Avalon Lt. and wondering if anyone in the Atlanta area can share any info and/or experiences. I currently have a 06 Lexus ES that I lease and plan to either lease another ES (especially now that they're redesigned and alot faster) or the Avalon Lt. I also love that car but like in 06, Lexus is offering a much better lease. If I could get matching leases I think I'd try the Avalon this time. Thanks in advance for any advise you may have. | |

Has anyone leased or purchased a 2008 Avalon Limited in NJ? How was it configured and what did it cost you? I can buy or lease so I would be interested in finding out about both. Anywhere in NY City or NJ is within easy reach. Thanks, |
