Well-cared-for 01 Avalon XL. 72,000 miles.
Clear title.
For non-Avalon audience: Avalon is a stretch Camry with mechanical parts that are the same as contemporaneous Camrys. Incredible rear leg room.
XL trim level is base model, very few toys (and thus few to break).
Second Avalon Generation (1999-2004) and Gen3 (2004-2011) Avalons are among the best quality Toyota has produced to date. Gen2 is especially civilized, quiet, and excellent as a highway driver.
Excellent mechanical shape, excellent interior, good exterior (some dings & scrapes). 3-liter, 6 cylinder 1MZ-FE engine, standard Toyota radio, A/C (not ATAC – manual), automatic, driver window auto-down & auto-up, ABS, side & front air bags, power driver & front passenger seats (Broyhill / Ethan Allen quality & feel).
Standard (non chipped) ignition key
Given its age, it’s ideal for someone who can work on cars or has access to family/friend wrenchers.
Old-guy column shift & split cloth bench seat
Three owner car:
