My 18th Car - 1995 Toyota Avalon

This was my 18th car. A 1995 Avalon. I traded the LEMON in on it. Got a good deal. 1995 was the first year Toyota came out with the Avalon. It was to be their flag ship. This was one of the most dependable cars I have ever owned to date. I drove this car until 2006. Put well over 100 thousand miles on it with no major problems. The only problem I really had with it was the rear disc brakes. Other than that it was a great car. This was the beginning of all cars looking the same to me. Unless you pay big big bucks you cant buy any today that looks different from others. But I believe the quality of the U.S. cars today are better because of the competition of the foreign market then. Anyway I really liked this car. It was basically a Lexus but without the 10 thousands dollars worth of extras. Same running gear, same engine. A nice luxury car.
