Just wanted to share my excitement. I finally got the car I’ve always dreamed of and, in my opinion, it’s one of Toyota’s best Avalon’s. Can’t wait to share some fun updates about it here. First thing I plan to do is get the windows tinted.
The colour and rims on yours are a great match. Very sharp-looking car. Welcome to the group. Personally, I still prefer the 3rd gen with the 3.5 V6 and those reclining rear seats… nothing like it.

I’ve got an ‘06 with the same V6 and reclining seats. Still going strong .
I just picked up a 2022 Avalon XLE yesterday. It’s got 44k miles on it, and I paid $29k out the door. My interest rate is 7.4%, which isn’t ideal, but that was the best my bank could offer for a used car.
I’ve got the same colour in a 2020 Hybrid XLE Premium. You’re really going to enjoy this car. Congrats and enjoy!
Great car. Hope you enjoy it.
Looking good .
Toyota did an amazing job with the wheels on this model.

Thanks! I was thinking about black wheels at first, but I really like how these look with the car.
How much did you pay, and was it 0 down? What was your interest rate and the total cost with taxes and fees?

It had only 15k miles, and I got it for $33k with a 6.5% interest rate through my credit union.

33k for a car with 15k miles seems a bit high, but I get it… the market for these is tough these days.

Trust me, I did my research. Around here, similar models from 2021 or 2022 with 30-40k miles go for about the same price. Plus, I got all the original paperwork, and this car was $44k new, so I feel like I got a fair deal.
@Harlan
I hear you. It’s rough out here in Los Angeles too… dealerships try to mark them up like crazy. I’m hoping to find the same model but in the Limited version, either hybrid or V6. It’s tough out here.
@Landry
I ended up trading in my Camry XSE because I really wanted a hybrid. This Avalon was worth the switch for me.
Welcome! You’re going to love this car.

Thanks! So far, I’m really happy with it.
I’ve got a 2022 Limited with 10k miles. Love it. You should check out a comma.ai device—it’ll really change the driving experience.

It’s a device that makes the car semi-autonomous. I’ve had it for four months, and it’s been amazing, especially on highways.
