I'm thinking about buying a '99 Avalon XLS off my mom that's been sitting around for about a year.. it has a few issues, namely a broken passenger side mirror and both front turn signals are missing the glass.. Also there is one tire that is different than the rest, I think it was a spare that was just left on there.
So where can I get a passenger side mirror for the best price? Should I get an original mirror like
this or will an aftermarket Kool-Vue mirror like
this be just as good? The Kool-Vue mirror is quite a bit less expensive (have found them for as little as $17 dollars!) but if they're noticably different I will just get the original part. Also is there anything special to be known when installing a power-mirror?
The turn signals.. is there any difference between the trim levels of the sedan regarding turn signals/lights?
Lastly in order to remedy the issue with the oddball wheel, should I buy one new tire of the same type as the other three? Or should I replace two or all four at a time to make sure the car handles predictably?
Thank you for any help.. Most of the questions I already have a good idea on I just want some advice from those of you that Really know what they're talking about. Also I wouldn't hesitate to take the car to an auto-shop if need be.. I'd just rather do it all myself for the learning experience.
Thanks again!
