I live in the Atlanta, GA area. I have a 98 Avalon XL loaded with everything but auto ac. I searched for almost a year before I found the right one to buy. They are scarce here. I found a local car in my county, one owner, school teacher with less than 60k on it and the RR window did not function. Paid $5100 for the car over a year ago. I replaced the motor, found part on Ebay, Installed myself, put a set of Goodyear Assurance tires on it and it is my Wife's everyday car, and one in which we take trips in. It is a great car, very quiet and roomey to boot. Everything in the car works fine. The sunroof, no leaks. It is black with brown leather. She loves the car and I do the maint on it.
The CEL just came on, the code is the EGR. I am going to clean it out. Other than that, it had the same front end noise everyone complains about, but I tighted the shock tower mounting bolts and noise has not come back to date. Good forums and board.
Thanks for all the good posts everyone.
