I bought my 2003 Toyota Avalon XLS and I have been the only owner. It is now 21 years old. I am so pleased with it. I don’t want any other kind of car but the Toyota Avalon XLS however they don’t make it anymore but I do recommend this to one of, the best cars that I have ever ever owned great car. I have 177,000 and it keeps on going. Since I’ve owned my Avalon I probably have not spent over $4000.00 in repairs.

Best Car I've Ever Owned

My 2003 Avalon XL (3.5l V6) drives like a dream. It’s the best vehicle I've ever owned. We’ve driven from new to 165,000 miles over the past 20 years into 2023. Hope to drive it another 10 years or more. Total Maintenance: Recommended oil changes, coolant flushes, and transmission fluid & filter changes, 1 scheduled water pump replacement, 2 O2 sensors, 3 batteries, 3 sets of tires, 1 tie rod end, 1 set of 4 shocks and springs , 2 x front and rear link stabilizers, several air filters for engine & cabin air. That's all folks
