Have been toying around with getting a third vehicle as my oldest will be able to get a school permit in another 6 months. Let a local mechanic know that and he found a beautiful 2007 Avalon with 155,000 miles on it. We got a deal put together and should be getting later today.
We really liked test driving this car. Way more powerful than either our Odyssey or Durango and really quiet. Also gets 30 mpg on the highway. It has a lot of safety features which you want for kids. My wife is going to use it as work car for a while and I joked half seriously that she may not want to give it up when the time comes.
Have a great friend with a year older model who has 400,000 miles on his. The only problem he has had are the coils going bad. He just put new brakes on for the first time a little while ago!
Hoping this car will take my kids through their college years at ISU!
