you get 6 speed auto and VSC now can be turn off by pressing a button. Other than that I really don't think there are that much different. Sound system should be the same (might have Bluetooth, mp3 AUX in with NAV)

The good thing is, the newer Avalons have the updated Gen 6 Nav system that is a million times better than the Gen 5 So not all hope is lost, lol

Thanks. I bought mine 18 months ago with 26,000 miles on it for $20,500. I think I got a good deal. I never had a Japanese car, but I wouldn't take 18K for it today. I love this car.
