i drive a fiat punto evo 67 bhp.. actually i live in a town and i drive only below 60 km per hour and i only drive 30 minutes a day..so i think braking won't be a problem..my doubt is.. will keeping clutch pressed fully during most of the journey damage it?? I thought it won't damage it because we fully press clutch often for gear change.. please share your thoughts..

Actually, the Avalon is "worth its weight in gold" when bought *BRAND NEW.* However, when you're looking at used cars, the equivalvent Lexus, the *ES 350,* is a much better buy, because it depreciates much more (being a luxury car), and the _price difference_ is not nearly as signficant (very small actually), compared to when these cars were new!

I have a 2006 Avalon! Great car 😁 If you're looking to purchase one from 2005 to 2009(sometimes 2010) Check to see if it has the combination rubber and metal rear bank VVTi oil line, it has a possibility of bursting causing your engine to lose all of it's oil. The procedure to replace the old combo rubber/metal line with the full metal oil line is not too bad of a job. But just something to look out for if you're looking at an Avalon from those years 🙂 UPDATE: An issue that can happen to the Avalons (or any Toyota vehicle using the U151E transaxle) is that solenoids that control the 2-3 shift go bad, resulting in bump shifting or flaring. In my case, the transmission would shift sluggishly between 2 and 3, and I assumed it was because of the mileage on the transmission; it otherwise operated fine, and I drained and filled the transmission fluid every spring. But as it turns out, it eventually wore out the 2-3 clutch packs to the point where I would get slippage at higher RPM, and it was shedding metal in the transmission fluid. I was able to replace the valve body in the transmission and baby it for another 2.7k miles, at which point it was still very drivable, but I am putting in a used transmission now with 110k. The original transmission lasted for 215k miles

I can't say enough good things about Toyota Avalon. I was told at the Toyota dealership that the V6 engine was a Lexus design that they put in the Avalon first before moving it to the Lexus models. I bought a 2001 brand new for a little over $30,000 and put 325,838 miles on it (a little over 9 cents a mile on the purchase price). Sold it this year (2020) for $2500. Did have the transmission replaced at 260,000 miles with a used one having 60,000 miles on it for a little over $2000. Other than brakes, tires, and a few sensors there were very few other major repairs (ignition did fail at about 200,00 and had to be replaced at a cost of about $800). When I sold the car the heated leather seats still worked and it basically drives and rides almost as good as when it was new. If you are buying an older one check to make sure the timing belt has been replaced and verify at what mileage as the engine is an interference design that has a bad failure mode if the timing belt happens to snap. I never had this problem replaced the timing belt once in 2011 and still running well when I sold it.

There was fluid showing on the bottom of the rack and seemed to be working okay but I was planning a 1500 mile drive and think that steering is as important as braking. i am looking forward to another 130,000+ miles of driving in comfort.

Last year I picked up a mint 2010 Avalon XLS with 48 K . I have 62K now and it’s been an awesome car !!! Money 💴 well spent !!!

[@RonnyLive19881]

If you are buying a new car off a lot in the south check the tires. Pay attention during the test drive if it is a previous year model because that high heat and the short few months of cold will really mess with the tires if it was rarely test driven. Look at that odometer.

We just totaled our 2009 Nissan Versa 1.6 with the 5 speed manual. The insurance company is giving us nearly $6000 for it. The 5 spd manuals are definitely worth more both in driving value and actual monetary value. Had close to 100k on it and we had zero problems other than routine maintenance. We replaced it with an Avalon. lol

[@spicyshizz2850]

Lmao the sound was scaring me, I thought my phone was connecting to random devices😁

[@ENGINERESCUE86]

My first ever motorcycle and I mean 0 miles driven one was a gsxr 600 and I was able to take off no problem the first time. I respected the power of the machine and never had a problem. Just takes some common sense.

[@Stephen-nd1sx]

Mine is a avolon 2001 looks new with 118,000 miles. Garage kept. Sun roof. Runs quiet. Just bragging scotty.

[@curtseth7995]

It's a good one?

[@Stephen-nd1sx]

@@curtseth7995 it's one of the most dependable cars ever made.

Back in the 50’s&60’s when radials were new and I couldn’t afford them the tires I could afford always squared off over night and I’d be half way to my destination before they would smooth out 😜

[@hunterkemp4132]

Okay Scotty your the best. Hands down but what is up with the sound in the background. Spray some WD-40 on that

[@sdmurphy20]

Meanwhile his computer is having a moment.

[@kyplummer3657]

Scotty I’m from Houston and I’ve been watching your videos for ever, I never knew where you moved until now, it just so happens that I’m working in Tennessee and my engine just blew on my Camaro and I’m trying to find a used car here in Tennessee and I’m finding it’s nearly impossible to buy a car here it’s a nightmare I need a cheap beater to get to work till I can afford to fix my engine, heeeeeeeeelp!

[@neozzickmixes3987]

IT guy here. You must have a USB cable that is damaged that doesn't stay connected securely. Or a device is having power issues and overloading the USB bus. Check them cables scotty! Almost had me fooled it was mine

[@thereal1loudmerc335]

Not related to your video Scotty. But I thought that sound was coming from my laptop, lol! That's the sound when you disconnect your device. Had me checking mine because I had my phone connected while I was watching your clip.

[@MaxSweet1]

Thanks for the comment about New Zealand natural wool carseat covers 👌

[@Garth2011]

Scotty....check your USB inputs and drivers on your computer, we are hearing devices installing and being unplugged etc. Love the fill the gas tank full to store it plan. Keeps out water too.

[@dc5723]

What a 2005 Avalon XL since 2005 and it still runs with the exception of vibration when accelerating from stop and turning right as a slow speed.

[@jacknlogan]

my BIL said the same thing about the Avalon. It’s the highest end trim pkg. Toyota offers (basically a Lexus). If you can find a 2 y/o lease return with 30K miles or less in good-great condition - buy it. Best $27,000 you can spend on a used car.

[@jimichan7649]

Mice got to my Tacoma. They ate through most of the wires to the wiper motor, but left one that carried power so I was fooled. It was only after buying a new wiper motor and stalk that I finally found the real problem. Another thing I did was install battery maintainers in both my vehicles. I got the kind that mounts permanently and installed an AC power inlet so I don't even have to open the hood. Almost hated to do it, but I just drilled a hole in the plastic skirt under the front bumper in front of the wheel. I just plug it in overnight once every week or two.

[@riccccccardo]

I just bought a lovely 2012 gs 450h f sport love it so far. V6 34hbhp rear wheel drive.

[@angusmcprepper9379]

I have a Toyota Echo, 2001. It's perfect for short commute. Love my Tacoma, but it's too nice to take most places I go.

[@duanethieme4186]

Thank you Scotty! Love the "Live free or die" sign!

[@nigelclark7360]

Good video During the war a friend of ours had a morris eight it was laid up for 6 yrs when he got back from war service he had to clear various numbers of mice nests under the hood,he also found chewed through wiring,it took me 3 days to sort it all out and get it running again new tyrs which l fitted.

[@HorribleOldCrank]

I have been trying to figure out what's wrong with my iPhone... Scotty you're killing me!

[@Alexi7666]

I shopped the Avalon, Acura TLX 3.5L, Camry XSE/XLE 3.5L, Accord 2.0T('18-'19 models), and ended up with a '18 Camry XLE V-6. Seats in the Accord and TLX were too firm(and too small in the Accord). Avalon was thousands of dollars more. I gave the Chevy Impala a try, but just wasn't impressed. '18 Buick Regal was impossible to find, but I did like it.

[@John-hj2mv]

I'm about to get 300k on my 2000 Avalon! Can't wait!!

[@xcmskim4]

Chinese drivers are a bit reckless. From what I've seen in Flushing, to riding a Chinese cab, and from watching Chinese dashcam videos, Chinese drivers tend to drive aggressively - stopping short, flooring from a stoplight, zig-zagging thru highway traffic, driving fast on rough pavement, etc. It's no surprise that Tesla sees the issue more in China than in the US.

[@mordys6305]

Wiggle your USB STICKS!

[@mida8261]

I thought my computer constantly kept disconnecting things. Then I realized it's Scotty's video!
