Replying to: dreameral (Feb 22, 2007 4:33 pm) I would go for the XLS in a heart beat. I have a 2000 XLS with 54k miles and it has been flawless in almost 7 years. At $12,500 CDN or $10,788 USD and 64,000 miles I think it is a damn good price.   Good luck with your purchase!

Replying to: bwia (Feb 24, 2007 8:39 am) Thanks for the good advice. I have always wondered a few thing about buying second hand. How old is a car? Is it better to buy a 2000 (100,000 km) with lower milage or a 2003 with higher milage(170,000), say highway milage

Replying to: bwia (Feb 24, 2007 8:39 am) Recently sold my mother's 00 Avalon XLS silver for $15,200 US. It had 34,000 actual miles and everything worked perfectly. Excellent body -- one minor accident 3 years previous, so had front right fender replaced, but looked like new.   24MPG in town, close to 30 on the road. My mom hit 90 and decided her driving days were over.

Hi,   I own a 2000 toyota avalon xls with 77,000 miles. I notice a whining in the engine when I take my foot off the accelator and the engine comes to a idle speed. I notice it with the A/C off.It probalbly does with the A/C on to. I take good care of the car and have regular maintenance done by dealer. Thought I would ask here before i put my question.to the toyota dealer. Has anyone had a similar experince with their Avalon? Appreciate any comments. Thanks

I am in the market for a used Avalon and would like to pay around $10,000. Are there any significant differences between the 2000 model and the 2004 model? Replies to this message: hawiianavowner (May 25, 2008 12:56 am)

Replying to: dreameral (Feb 22, 2007 4:33 pm) I just bought a 2000 Toyota avalon XLS private sale for $7000 CAD. The couple that sold it to me were really cool people. I was a bit worried because you never know what your going to get from a private sale. But all I had to change was the starter and even though it does need some suspension work, the car looks and feels brand new and rides smoothly and is a major upgrade from my 1999 Mazda 626 DX.

Replying to: 2ndcoming (Jun 16, 2008 7:20 pm) That sounds like a good price for the 2000 Avalon XLS. Hom many miles on the car?
#13 of 24 Buying a used Avalon-2007 model by radioguy1 Jun 19, 2008 (6:38 am)
We own a 2001 Avalon with 187k miles...we're thinking about trading it in and getting a 2007 from one of our many Houston area Toyota dealers...here's what the sales guy sent over... * Internet Price $24,988.00     * Mileage: 25,617     * Exterior Color: SILVER     * Interior Color:     * Transmission: A/T     * Stock #: P5926 I asked him if this car had a 4, 5 or 6 speed. My 2001 has a 4 speed. Without actually looking at the car, and based only on the information presented here, does this look like a reasonable starting place on price?   Thanks   Radioguy1 Houston, TX Replies to this message: tjc78 (Jun 19, 2008 7:00 am) radioguy1 (Jun 19, 2008 12:46 pm) tjc78 (Jun 19, 2008 3:13 pm) fin (Jun 19, 2008 4:10 pm) radioguy1 (Jun 20, 2008 7:35 am)

Replying to: radioguy1 (Jun 19, 2008 6:38 am) Can't tell you if its a good price without knowing which Avalon you are looking at. There is a 10K price difference in original MSRP from a base XL to a fully loaded Limited.   Also, the car is a 5 speed. In '08 the Avalon got the six speed.
