Is 200,000 miles on a car considered high milage anymore? At that milage aren't you looking at repair bills?

is is high, but a vehicle isn't necessarily done anymore at that mileage- see if you can find maintenance records that show the transmission service, coolant flushes, and oil changes were done at the recommended times. if not, then look elsewhere. If they were, the car can go quite a ways yet.

Not necessarily..... I have 225,000 on mine and still running strong and smooth. It's the 300 M in my profile.

Not in a Toyota anyway. My '98 Avalon has 176K and my '00 Sienna has 236K. Both start instantly and run smooth without a trace of smoke. Both get Pennzoil Ultra and a "premium" filter with changes every 5-6K because of the V6's reputation for sludge build-up.

its not really alot for that engine your avalon has. Those engines last for a long time . Their just like the c/k engines. They never give up.But I would just change the oil mevery 5,000 miles the V6's reputation for sludge build-up.

I have 285K on my 96 Avalon and is as good as new NO engine or transmission problems. I do take care of the car and do meantance on it. On 5th set of tires

I have a 2004 Toyota Avalon XLS with 215,000 miles. Still runs fine. I do get routine maintenance at Toyota, but nothing major.

Mine only has 76,000 miles on it and it is a 2012. I was wondering what the average amount of miles this car will go to

Our 2001 Toyota Avalon has 306k miles and still running strong as well.

I have a '98 Avalon with over 417,000 on it and it still runs great. I've hit a couple deer with it so its not so pretty anymore but its the most reliable car I've ever owned. I use it just for driving to and from work these days. My other car is a '04 Highlander with 137,000 and its still like new. I will never buy anything but a Toyota again.

I have a 2005 Avalon Limited with 213,000 and still going strong! Love that car!

I have had several Toyota Avalons. Traded in with 190,000 miles and still running fine and not using oil. They don't give me a lot for them, but I don't pay over $11,000 for the next one either. I usually trade for another Avalon with about 100,000 miles on it, knowing I am going another 90,000 to 100,000 miles without issues. I do use Mobil 1 5W-30 every 7,000 or so miles. The full synthetics reduce the internal wear substantially based on varied tests. If you want to save some money for the long haul, make sure the avalon you get has a timing chain and not a timing belt. They come both ways. Timing belts can be $600 to $700 every 90,000 miles or so.

I just bought a 2000 Avalon with 114K miles on her, she was well maintained by an elderly couple, grabbed it for $1200 when husband passed. Thanks for your input about the Toyota Avalon, I think after reading the above I got one heck of a deal! (todays date is Nov. 25th 2018) Oh..they had the timing belt, water pump, serpentines, gaskets and seals replaced at 102K. Score! i'm thinking I'll see 200+ with no problems. The dang thing is in pristine condition, garage kept.

Wow sounds like a great deal you will get over 200K just change Oil & filter and transmission oil on time . I got a 96 with 257K and a Rob4 with almost 400K both run great and looks great

What happens when installed low mile used engine 2006 Avalon xl does codes sync with old computer after ran 100 miles on car; also how long does codes stay on car after used engine installed?

07' Avalon Touring here. Avalons are simply a top tier vehicle on value, virtually a Lexus with a Toyota logo and better price tag. cars. This one just rolled over 288k; still an amazing car in terms of perrformance and costmetics. Had her since mile 1 and she's just getting broken in on daily commutes highway. (Full synth oil & seafoam every 5k w/ longlife filter) Likely will consider buying a new one at 400k, or when the tech is unbearably outdated.

I have an 05 Avalon and its running at 302 000 right now. if you maintain you oil and tranny flushes the car will go go go. yes with that many miles parts have to be replaced, but as far as the motor and tranny still solid and car still has the get up and go. I am so impressesd with this car I am going to buy another. so if you want one get one. you will not be . disappointed. I live in Michigan and the 05 is not rusted out like most cars that old still looks good.

How often you guys change the timing belt for the high mile Avalon? Thanks

I just bought my son a Avalon with 288k miles a don't my son to be on the highway broke down the said he change the belt and something because he drives to at Atlanta

Tell me about a 2004 Avalon with 288k miles tell me is that to much miles to run on road all the time please give me some anws

I have a 2000 xls with 330k and it’s still running well I was nervous but the guy with 400k + miles gave me hope lol

My dad's 2002 got 240,000, even with the grandson abusing it. My 2004 has about 107,000. 1. the oil changes are done at 3000 because most trips are just a couple of miles. 2. the transmission fluid and the radiator fluid are changed regularly and early because of the short trips. Remember that auto parts stores will do free diagnostics. The brake fluid and radiator fluid testers are cheap. There is also a rubberized air filter that can be washed. I have lifetime alignment with Firestone. The company with which I had lifetime brakes went out of business.

My 2000 Avalon has 319K miles. No major repairs. . .ever. Never serviced the transmission, never charged the AC. Everything works. Runs like I just drove it off of the showroom floor. Just changed the oil every 5k.

Bought my 2004 Avalon XLS new. Now at 332,000, is still beautiful, passengers love the smooth ride and it just started a small rust spot last summer. Live in WI, so it’s seen it’s fair share of snow and salty roads. Need a new set of brakes now and will put new tires next year. Love to watch the mechanics do a double take at the mileage. Do normal maintenance faithfully. Looking at 400;000, hoping to take it all the way to 500,000!

02/17/2021. 4 of us in the family bought the version of the Toyota Avalon ending at the end of 2004. Three of them went about 225,000 miles. Mine 2004 has 112,000 miles on it. Here is how I handle the car: 1. the car is driven in urban traffic for only 1-2 miles hops; 2. the car receives an oil change at least once a year or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first. 3. the transmission fluid is drained and a new filter put in every 2-3 years . 4. When I don't know whether OEM parts or aftermarket parts are best for getting the car to last at least 200,000 miles, I ask. Then I buy the parts in advance of going to my trusted mechanic, if possible. 5. I do something that is not addressed in the manual. The car has rubberized seals. I use a spray of AT205 lubricant on the rubberized parts under the hood. The mechanic sprays underneath during each oil change. Doing so retards the possibility of the seals drying out, cracking and destroying car systems. 6. I look under the hood about once every six weeks and inspect the fluid levels, check for leaks, clean the air filter, and put distilled water in the battery. 7. I need a log of the mileage, date, and who did work on the car. I also prepare a running list of what the auto mechanic is to do on the next time the car is put on a lift. Never assume that a new hire in the service dept. of the big box store, the franchise chain, the tire shop know what the hell they are doing.

My 2001 Toyota Avalon has 294,000 miles on it and is driving like a dream. I too have never had major work done to it. It has some rust spots which I intend to fix but other than that it looks great and drives great. Every time somebody gets in the car, they ask me what model and year the car is because it is soooo comfortable.
