Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Stole it! (1995 Toyota Avalon w/66k)

For while, between pickups, I drove a '95 Olds Cutlass Ciera, in white. It was "grandmaflauged" pretty well. I could haul ass down the highway without a glance from the cops.

Nice score congrats

Got a trophy, not much different than hunting

Do your homework, know what you want

Glass, glass, glass scout, do a few stalks


There was more than luck involved in this find, as there most often is

Why is it the guys that work harder seem to be the luckiest


Great score! Congrats

Wow, that is a once in a lifetime score, IMO. My folks had one of those exactly like that, but white with tan interior. they put 260k on it before selling it.

Hope the daughter enjoys it.

Nice roomy back seat should come in handy for a 16 year old girl.













That wasn't very nice was it? As much as I enjoy poking you in the eye I was only kidding you, honest. Looks like you got a great deal on a fantastic car. That should serve her very well and give you some real piece of mind.

I had a 99 and gave it to my son when it had 175K on it. He had a minor fender bender that did not even deploy the airbags. The thief Body Shop wanted 3400 to fix it , So our insurance company totalled it . They gave us 5400 for it along with a damage mark on the title.

I spent 1k at the dealers getting it tuned up, timing belt and valve cover gasket(very problematic issue on that engine) . Our's had seeped oil for at least 100k miles. From the day it came home Mobil 1 was used on it and a factory filter every 3k, The mechanic at the dealer ship said it was the cleanest top end of a cylinder head(s) he had seen.

I sold it to my brother for 2500, he spent 1k fixing the bent hood and replacing the bumper skin. It now has 300k on it and doesn't burn a drop of oil.

And you wonder why everyone thinks you're a fugg'n dipschitt. Seems like just when I think you can't possibly post anything stupider than you already have, you take it as a challenge.

Paid $3500 for a 2000 model Avalon with 130K on it last fall, thought I got a decent deal......great cars.

And you wonder why I enjoy poking you in the eye.

No class. Good way to get your ass kicked.

He's earned it.

A fuggin fire fly could mess with your head.

Still haven't found your pine tree to hide under eh?

He can't help himself. Or maybe it wasn't him?

Same car as the Lexus ES 330/350. They're great cars. I drive the 350 because I found a deal on it, but I average about 29mpg combined driving. Supposedly one of the most reliable vehicles on the road. She'll look back and appreciate that grandpa car.

Great deal. Avalon is a very nice car. This is what it cost in 1995 dollars new

I don't know either of you (or what your beef with one another is), but that's the d-bag statement of the day.

Lord knows I'm guilty of saying stupid chit on occasion, but I generally recognize it and try to make amends. You should probably follow suit. Quit trying to justify it though, as it just makes you look like a horses' azz.

Did you read the rest of what I posted?

My wife and I bought a brand new Avalon Limited last August. It has all the bells and whistles and is the nicest car I have ever owned. Have read nothing but good reviews since the model was introduced.

That's a nice '95! It's the relatively rare 6 passenger with column shift. Most have a console and floor shifter.

Former coworker had an Avalon, same year +/-. Had over 300K miles on it before he finally traded it for a new one. You done good...
