USA New Avalon owner

Bought a used 06' Avalon XLS yesterday. Already own a Toyota among another car, but I will have to get myself familar with the Avalon. Right now it's at the dealership getting detailed(). Once I have a stretch of days off, I will be doing my own detailing on every bit of the car that I can. Love the huge leg room in the rear, leather, sun roof, ride, power, etc. Can't wait to take it out on the road.

I'll post pics when I have some time now that I will be back at work over the next 5 nights.

Looking into purchasing new tires in October. May go with the factory recommended tires or something else. Not sure. The Avalon and 4Runner will serve as my wife's and I daily driver. We will use the Avalon for road trips, vacation, or just heading out of town to see family.

Thanks!

Spent 3 hards days looking for a new ride. It's either turning my 03' Cobra into a daily driver(,no thanks) or buying another vehicle to drive around in. Looking forward to having time off to enjoy it.

Nice ride!! Checked out a few more on cardomain and was impressed. Might have to do a few tasteful modifications to set it apart from other Avalons around here.

That is just like my 07 except I have a little more chrome on the grill. Enjoy it. They are great cars.
