How many miles does it actually have? The pic shows 36k but I feel like that might be for trip A or Trip B

My mother-in-law just used it for trips to the store every Friday. That’s about all it did. The dealer kept it maintained.

I drive the same thing myself. It’s my wife’s grandmother’s car, and it’s even got that old lady champagne color. I picked it up in 2020 with 38k miles and now I’m at 95k. Runs perfectly and it’ll belong to my son in December when he gets his license. It’s a fantastic car as long as you keep up with maintenance.

@Heath
Mine’s pearl white. Did yours have plastic seat covers and those doilies on the headrests? It’s a great car for a kid. Really reliable.

It shows odometer at the start, so I think that’s the actual mileage.

@River
Wow congrats man. That engine is practically brand new. 36k miles is awesome. As long as you keep up with the regular maintenance, you’re good. Congrats, I wish I had one like that.

I have a 2000 Avalon with 252,000 miles. Just put in new Toyota spark plugs and did some gaskets. I use Valvoline High Mileage Restore and Protect for oil changes. It’s running really strong.

What a find! I have a 97 Avalon with about 284k miles. I use it for Amazon Flex. Just think how long yours will last as a regular car, you got a real tank. Enjoy it.

Fun fact - the calendar on these models only goes up to 2018 so you’ll need to find the year that matches the calendar days

How much do you spend on gas? I have an 03 with 12,000 miles and it’s a 6-cylinder.

I’m still using the original gas. Just got it today, so it won’t be my daily driver.

They are all V6s.

I thought I was low with my '01 only having 49k miles. Similar story, it was an old lady’s car that barely got driven.

I’m so jealous! I got my 2004 from my mom back in 2013 with 53k miles. I traded it in at 140k miles in 2019 and still miss it!

My 2000 is about to hit 310k miles. Needs some gaskets but it’s still running strong. You got yourself a good one.
