2008 Avalon XLS - buying help.

[RDXRD]

Hi Forum,

I went to toyota dealer today for Venza V6 FWD,but didn't like much.
I am planing to buy Avalon 2008 XLS. I already owe a 2003 Avalon XLS.

now the dealer gave me a quote of $30900 (invoice+tags+ sales tax )

The option I choose is HDAT (Driver and Passenger Heated Front Seats).
(1) Does Avalon 2008 XLS comes with seat memory as standard feature?
(2) Rain sensors and intermittent wipers are standard feature?
(3) If i don't choose JBL, then what brand the stereo installed?
I am just looking for AM/FM/6 CD changer.Is it still JBL?

please help.

thanks,
RD

Seat memory is not a standard feature. Intermittent wipers are, but not rain sensors. Can't help with the stereo. I have an '08 XLS, but it is a JBL stereo. I am very happy with my Avalon. Check out the transmission, however. I have had a little problem with slipping. This may be a computer problem.

RDXRD,

Look around for a better price. You should be able to get a 2008 limited for that price. Check www.cars.com to view cars in your area.

Cars in general are very bad these days. Way overprices, too much tech and simple mechanical stuff is troublesome.

The 2009/2010 max drives like a dream, but its about as big as a Ford Fusion in the back. its no longer a large sedan/saloon.
