Hey everyone… I’ve been thinking about getting a used Toyota Avalon, but I’m totally lost on which years are the best. I’ve heard good things about them being reliable, but I’d love some insider tips. Anyone have thoughts on this?
I’ve done some digging on this! Generally, the older Avalons like from '94 to '04 are pretty solid. You might wanna check those out.

Yeah, I’ve heard the older models are better. What about the newer ones?
@Kimberly
The newer ones from '09 to '21 are good too! Just stick to those years, and you should be okay.
IDK why, but I love the '97 model. It has such a nice vibe, and I hear it’s super reliable!

I’ve never tried a '97 Avalon… what do you like most about it?

It just feels sturdy and drives like a dream. Plus, not too many bells and whistles, you know?
I hear the '12 and '15 models are pretty good too. Just a bit more techy.

What kind of tech are we talking about? Like infotainment stuff?

Exactly! They have nicer screens and better connectivity options. Fun stuff if you’re into that.
So, are there any years we should totally avoid? Like, which ones are the lemons?

Definitely avoid the '01, '03, and '04 models. They had a few too many complaints.

Good to know! I’ll steer clear for sure.
I heard Toyota is generally reliable, so I hope to find a used Avalon soon!
