I thought lexus is better, I have a es300 tho, drives good

[@Miss_Miscellaneous]

I have a 2011 Lexus ES. If you're buying a used car, often the Lexus is a better deal. Here's why: The Toyota logo ALWAYS holds its value. There is a lot of demand in the camry market thus prices are generally high. If you want an avalon- the premium model- you're going to have to shell out for it. There are also less avalons in production making them more expensive. The Lexus ES has the same premium features as an Avalon, but because that's their standard production sedan it's not as "rare" of a find. Also luxury car buyers don't gravitate toward used vehicles so there's less demand there. Price shop a used avalon versus a used ES350. You might find that lexus is the better deal.

[@Holistic_Islam]

The perfect answer. I was looking for a used Avalon, however for the same price I could get a Lexus ES300h. It’s a wonderful car!

[@geo5146]

I found what you’re saying to be exactly true. Same year Avalon versus Lexus ES, the Lexus’ were actually cheaper. There are so many MORE ES’s than Avalons. I always thought people just don’t sell their Avalons and that’s probably part of it too But as you said, there just aren’t as many Avalons around as ES’s. The ES has consistently been the most popular car from Lexus, probably the only Lexus that sells as much as the ES is the IS.

[@RyanJ504]

I was wondering if this might be the case...

[@bruceh5933]

Can confirm this. I’ve been looking for a used Camry and the prices were crazy. Stumbled upon the Lexus’ today and they’re as cheap as a Corolla.

[@eseskay99]

The Lexus seems to hold its value better, imo. The name is the reputation and this good-will has value. Also, the Lexus has a lot more sound proofing making it a quieter ride compared to a Camry.

There’s a yellow IS 300 here where I live. Real clean, and black sporty rims. I wish the owner was selling it.

I was getting the 5th gen ES350. I don't like the Avalon during those years, otherwise I might of gotten the Avalon if I went for a later year.

[@Jack_Straw]

Depending on where you live, sometimes there's more lexuses on the market, meaning you can sometimes get a better deal on the lexus than its toyota counterpart. Always cross shop both when buying used imo

[@Capostrophes]

I admire Toyota so much that I went out and bought a 2017 Camry. After owning it for a year I sold it because I hated driving it.

[@shattered115]

I like Toyota reliability but I must admit they have very unengaging rides.

I got the Lexus ls430 2001 awesome engine v8. Very powerful and easy to maintain. Bulletproof engines mine has 3280000 miles original engine and transmission original starter and alternator. Just regular maintenance. These cars easily go over 500000 miles if they are maintained.

Exactly, a Lexus will last as long as you take care of it, and sometimes it’s unfortunately sometimes some of the repairs are expensive, but it is what it is. I will never drive anything else but a Lexus.

[@biodrummindieseler]

I owned a 2005 Camry, and currently own a 2006 ES330. I also test drove a 2004 Avalon. The Lexus blows the other two out of the water in terms of comfort and solid ride feel. The Lexus feels heavier and more substantial. Scotty doesn't know what he's talking about in this video.

[@marguisil]

Exactly, I worked as a valet driver, the Lexus is significant better than the other two, and I drove tons of those.

The ES and the LS drives like you are on a cloud compared to a Camry. Avalon might be just a little smoother than a Camry because of the longer wheel base.

Is the Lexus more quiet than the Avalon?

[@RC-117]

In my opinion Lexus is much more quieter than the Avalon. Lexus uses a lot of sound deadening material so you barely hear the outside, I drive a Lexus ES 350 and that thing is so quiet,

Yes Toyota engines is kinda loud

@@mohammadsabir7600 even though Toyota own Lexus, they are completely different vehicles when it comes to features, etc, I’ve driven a 2010 Camry V6 in comparison, and it was loud and not a smooth quiet ride like the Lexus. (I test drove the luxury XLE V6, not the sporty SE V6)

[@nordicpride9708]

Id venture to say the Avalon has similar sound dampening vs the Lexus. But a camry? Oh hell no! When people say “a Lexus ES is a Camry”…… yeah the engine and transmission, unibody. But the engine mounts are different on the ES, and sound deadening is light years better in a Lexus vs a Camry. Not really apples to apples comparison

Isn't the avalon also a full size sedan compared to a camry which I thought was medium sized ?

Yes, the Avalon is full sized while the Camry is mid-sized.

When the ES 350 was redesigned in 2013, it was then based off of the new Avalon platform, all prior years of the ES 350 shared the same platform as the Camry.

Lol! I have a v6 Camry, never been in an Avalon, had a gs300. The quality comparison is night and day. However with Toyota in general you get built quality. Lexus is a step up and way more luxurious. One feature I miss the most is the power folding mirrors.
