1999 Toyota Avalon Sedan XLS 4dr Sedan
Forever friend
 I bought my 1999 Toyota Avalon Platinum XLS in 2006.It had 99000 miles on it and this did not cause me alarm since I have had a Toyota Camry before.My Toyota Avalon now has 187,000 miles on it and is still running strong!I have had to put routine maintenence items, such as brakes, battery, tires, but other than that it is running like the day I bought it.I am looking at trading it off for something newer, not because I need to, just maybe wanting something newer.Trouble I am having is when I test drive other vehicles I am comparing it to my Avalon, so far all the "competitors" have lost. Gas mileage is still 24/28 hwy.Excellent choice and great car!
