1997 Toyota Avalon, $3,995

Since its launch in the mid-1990s, the Avalon has been Toyota’s main full-size sedan. It has always been a solid performer, with standard V6 power, lots of interior space and a reputation for reliability. The original Toyota Avalon, sold from 1995-’99, came in two trims (XL and XLS) and had a 192-hp 3.0-liter V6 and a four-speed automatic transmission. Minor engine revisions for the 1997 model year saw the output of the V6 increase to 200 hp. Toyota did not make many significant changes throughout this generation, therefore, used-Avalon shoppers should focus more on the condition and mileage of the vehicle than a specific year of production. Thanks for looking and we hope to see you soon!
