#81 of 150 An intro.. by allson Aug 06, 2005 (3:25 pm)
Hi, I'm Debi, 54. My husband and I live in southwest Ohio and have three sons. The oldest is in college, and two still at home. Since two of them are well over 6' tall, the interior room of the Avalon had major appeal for us. We just picked up our 2005 Avalon XLS last night. After driving Chrysler minivans for the past 20 years, I finally feel like a grown-up! LOL.

Hi. My name is Larry and my wife and I are both 55. We picked up our new 2006 Limited two days ago and are really happy. Ours is Silver Pine Mica with Ivory. Since it’s so hard to find a dealer with one of these on his lot to see the color, kirstie_h suggested I share these photo’s with all of you. Our last two cars were Accords so this was a big step up for us. Here’s our pictures:       http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d632b3127cce9331d8ac603800000016108Qbs2zZq2be http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d632b3127cce9331d89de13900000016108Qbs2zZq2be http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d632b3127cce9331d89a600e00000026108Qbs2zZq2be http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d632b3127cce9331d887e12300000016108Qbs2zZq2be http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d632b3127cce9331d898600c00000016108Qbs2zZq2be
#83 of 150 2006 Avalon by vkesler Aug 23, 2005 (6:46 pm)
I just purchase my Avalon LTD at full sticker price, $35,800. So far I love the car. The laser cruise control is a different thing, but I'm getting used to it. I think I'll like it very much especially driving in CA with so many drivers who cut in front of you.   Anybody finding the 2006 models for less than sticker?   What is your actual gas mileage on the 2005 models, close to epa or more?

Replying to: vkesler (Aug 23, 2005 6:46 pm) I was just notified today that my Limited was delivered today. I'm paying $1,200 over invoice. I had another dealer quote $800 over invoice, but they couldn't get the color I wanted. Since my Camry was totalled, I can't wait for a vehicle.

I am now the happy owner of a 2006 Avalon Ltd with navigation system, laser cruise and vehicle stability - all for $1,200 over invoice. It's Indigo Ink Pearl (a really pretty dark blue) with Graphite (medium grey) interior. Came out of a restaurant this evening to find several people looking it over in the parking lot.

Replying to: vkesler (Aug 23, 2005 6:46 pm) Hi vkesler,   I recently concluded my search for a new car and after countless hours of test driving and research, I chose the 2006 Avalon Touring with some of the limited upgrades. MSRP ended up around $33k. Now it is my understanding from dealers and customer forums that due to the demand for all avalons, dealers really don't have to come off their pricing and most will sell at sticker price. Here's a trick that i think is worth mentioning with regard to the avalons.   Sams club and Costco both offer negotiated deals with dealerships on almost all models of automobiles. I contacted the Costco auto program and they put me in touch with a participating dealer a couple of hours away. I received no haggle pricing over the phone of $950 over base invoice...about a $2200 savings. I then took that deal to my local dealer who I have been building a relationship with and asked them to see if they could beat it. Although they only took another $200 bucks off the invoice, I was pleased to almost get $2500 off MSRP. This allowed me to get the extras I wanted.   Happy Shopping and thanks to the costco auto program.
#90 of 150 97 Avalon by sully19 Sep 11, 2005 (5:47 pm)
Wow I believe I might be the youngest person here. I am 17 years old, obviously I don't own the car, it is my fathers. We are a throughly at Toyota family and our past and present car list includes a 96 Camry, my 97 Avalon, a 98 Avalon, a 2000 4Runner, a 2002 Camry and a 2005 Highlander. Obviously we do not own them all at this point but all of them have served us very well. The Avalon I drive is a XL with leather seats, accent stripe, and alloys in addition to the factory standard features. It has 148,000 miles but still idles like a Lexus and drives like one too. I have been looking for an Avalon fourm for awhile, and while I was hoping for a more performance oriented place, my 200 HP mini-supra engine will do just fine and I am very happy to be here. Hope I didn't bore you with my long post.
