I have had this car for about 5 months now, absolutely love it! Fun to drive, reliable, I step on the gas and the pickup is great, comfortable leather seats, just a joy to drive! I thought I would like the heated seats better than I do, but I don't see what the big deal is really. I drive my car all over the state for my job and it performs flawlessly, unmatched Toyota quality. Mine had around 98k when I bought it but you could tell it had been taken care of. My speaker system is a bit flakey, the rear speaker is blown and two of the front speakers go in and out a lot, other than the speakers the car is great. Buy one and you won't regret it! Mpg is around 29-30 hwy and around 21 or so city.
Amazing car

My dad got our 2000 Avalon XLS from our neighbor who had obtained it from their father. It was mainly used for freeway travel to and from sac & the bay area. We got it at around 100,000 miles but it had been well taken care of and maintained. My dad originally bought it for my sister, she had it for 2 years but she didn’t service it 1 time in that 2 years. She then got a new car and the Avalon became mine, i spent about $1k on it, got it serviced, got new tires, brakes, & a new radiator hose (old one was deteriorating). Ive had it for about 2 years now, and it still runs great! I’ve gotten it serviced regularly, i've since had to replace the car battery, the starter, and the alternator but nothing major or too expensive. I need to replace the tie rods & control arms soon, and the shocks could use an upgrade. But it’s reliable, nothing in the engine itself has ever failed me, and no check engine light while i’m currently at roughly 206,000 miles. A/C still works great ( I live in California so that’s a necessity ) and so does the heater. The power outlets don’t work though, so you can’t charge your phone or plug anything in but i’m not willing to spend the money to find the issue. I’ve been rear ended in it by some guy going 60 and i was hit HARD, but only damage was to my bumper and i barely felt the impact. This is only my first car, but the 2000 Avalon XLS has made me a Toyota girl for life !

Sun shining from above and behind hits instrument cluster glass, reflects up on windshield and back into drivers eyes. Second problem is that you cannot shut the center air vents without turning off all four vents. If not shut off cold air chills the drivers right arm or if directed up, chills his bald head. . I . Also can't read the info panel unless tthe sun shine right on it. Dangerous as I must take my eyes off teh road to read the symbols.
Japanese Buick is a nice thing to say

If only the bumpers were less prone to get nicked and scratched this might be THE perfect car. In some 37,000 miles, NO waranty trips to the dealer, original brakes and tires still pass State inspection. Nicwe acceleration, smoooooth mechanicals. Up to 32mpg on a road trip, decentr mileage around town. So quiet inside you can hold conversation in normal tone of voice at 80 MPH.
