Hello to everyone out there in Toyota Nation! I'm Justin from Mobile, Alabama and I'm a single Toyota owner. I own a 1996 Toyota Avalon XL 3.0 L with 262,270 miles. I bought it 3 years ago from a friend for $500. It had 180,000 Miles and front end damage. Missing front bumper, grille with other minor character marks here and there. I call it the "Ugly Duckling." I drive it to work everyday and have had no significant problems since I purchased it. I absolutely love this car, more than my 2007 Ford F-150 STX, which has less miles and is in pretty much mint condition. I think it's the best $500 I've ever spent and I love driving this car!

Welcome to the Neighborhood
Sounds like the Ole Avalon doesn't owe ya anything, money well spent. Does your friend look at it now and just shake their head?

I can tell you that they never thought it would be on the road this long. I intent to roll that odometer as far it will go! It still runs like a top so I am certain I've still got a few good years left in her.
