The third generation of the Avalon (05-12) is a gem of a vehicle. They are essentially the equivalent of a Lexus ES , but not quite as expensive. That generation rides like a full sized sedan of the past and meant to compete against the Buick Park Ave and Panther platforms as well as some higher end European brands at the time. They were known affectionately as Japanese Buicks. They are large and roomy as well as are notoriously reliable and safe.I've seen a few for sale in the mid 400 K range. They also hold their value well even at that age. I'm surprised, Randy, that you've never owned one. It could be a good first vehicle for your stepson, with the only drawback being the fuel mileage (22 MPG combined). They are my favorite used vehicle outside of the Panther platform. Happy Holidays.
My grandparents had an Avalon in that same color combo, but I think they had like a Touring or XLS, it didn't have cooled seats, but had everything else, including laser cruise control, it was an '05. Great car, I like those.
The winner of the video is the Toyota Avalon! I wonder why it's been sitting there for so long and I wonder when it'll ever go on sale. I'd keep my eyes out for this one. Also probably can ask Copart what's going on with it. I remember you asking IAA or Copart about a super low mileage white Buick convertible that was sitting for 2+years.
The Toyota avalon would be an excellent car for people like me that care more about driving condition, working functioning accessories than overall outside appearance. 😊
It is an 'over ride' button for the park assist. If you are in reverse and the system is beeping because you are too close to something or the sensor(s) are obstructed by some like snow or mud, you can push the button the beeping stops. It over rides the system
The Volkswagen Touareg 3.0 Diesel is a very reliable car with great gas mileage. Obviously the white one was parked for a longer period. You should look for one with low miles. This is a great car for a family. Greetings from Germany
Love that journey honestly quirky! Keep it up randy! Love the content!!! Man I love these Avalons man wow and credit to you for actually willing to read the manual to figure this out, I know you rarely do that
I love that Avalon i would buy and daily drive with no hesitation.That is quality car Randy,even for your kid nice backseat. Have a good Christmas Randy and your family.
Love your content Randy! Keep it coming! I’m surprised that you don’t carry a pack of gloves in your bag! Some of those cars you get into are pretty gross!
Hello Randy. The Dodge Durango is a good looking SUV even though it's got hail damage. The 2012 Volkswagen Touarng TDI is a good looking SUV even though it's got hail damage and a couple of spots on both bumpers.
Don’t you give up on it like that dude come on now you call yourself a RUclipsr you are you one of my top favorite RUclipsr I don’t give up on anything
that Toureg is what you call a lemon the delamination on the drivers window are shaped like lemons the airbaglight in the Avalon is interesting it could be taht it's on the Takata airbag recall if it is than the drivers airbag is being changed free of charge at Toyota
On the Toyota Avalon it looked liked the passenger side front tire got pushed in towards the engine & the mileage on the Toyota Avalon is (147,531) that's located on the driver's side window
It's hard to say what's wrong with the vw but I had that same car in blue 2013 it used to do that when the key fob was dying instead of telling you it just wouldn't run it would start and dy over and over again like 5-7 times before running perfectly I took it to 3 mechanics and they couldn't figure it out I figured it out myself when the key died completely and wouldn't unlock it or anything so I got a mobile key guy to make me 2 new keys and it never did it again it blow my mind
That was an independent appraisal company that was responsible for the circles and notes. They're a must have to get paid fairly from insurance nowadays.
Randy after thay sit for awhile blood wood not be Red it will be a brown or maybe black but not red I'd say it was something else like maybe a drink or something else Charlie kretschmar Phoenix Arizona
Good afternoon I'm not trying to be hurtful but I'd like to see you change your format and try going inside and actually bidding on a car it would be a lot more interesting to me. Of course everybody has their own likes and dislikes don't understand. Have a great afternoon
Its called Climate Change same thing here in NC almost every old roof was replaced after a freak hailstorm here in july, people who have lived here all their lives sais they had never seen anything that bad in their life! Our yard was like it had snowed and the temp changed so fast it was foggy from all the ice. Wiped out a lot of cars here and we dont get hail like that here because we are at the base of the mountians and we are usually more protected by them from approaching cold fronts from the west. It usually on east of Greensboro when the cold fronts collide with the more moist air as they get closer to the Atlantic ocean side of the state. We haven't had any real snowfall here in 4 years !we usually get feet of snow at once barely anything last year at all. Its not even that cold here and its almost jan, something is definitely changing

The Avalon is basically a Lexus. Love those engines.
That insurance adjuster should get a raise asap for being so professional

My daughter has the exact same Avalon and she loves it. Drives like a dream.

Love an Avalon. We had a 99 model, not the prettiest but a fantastic automobile (space/performance).
That Avalon is sweet 🤘🏽🔥😀❤️
I had a 2005 Avalon and had no problem getting 30mpg going back and forth to work
You should buy the dodge for April fools day and give it to Jessica 😂😂
Or try to give her that 89 Mercury Thunderbird lol The fuel injected one...
Merry Christmas 😊🎄🎅 and Happy New Year.
Love your content Randy! Keep it coming! I’m surprised that you don’t carry a pack of gloves in your bag! Some of those cars you get into are pretty gross!
Always been impressed with the Avalon🙌 reliable and they hold their value
That Touareg would make a great fishing rig‼️ can I get the lot number to it.
I say that toyota avalon would probably be a great first car for nick
Hello Randy. The Dodge Durango is a good looking SUV even though it's got hail damage. The 2012 Volkswagen Touarng TDI is a good looking SUV even though it's got hail damage and a couple of spots on both bumpers.
4:25 those coins are usually the ones you get for a car wash after paying for gas
That Avalon might be good 1st car for Nick.
That dang Journey could double as a golf ball with as many dimples as it has😂
Afternoon Randy
Great video.👍
Now *THATS ALOT OF DAMAGE!* 😹
That is a nice Toyota Avalon.😊👍
Yes indeed we love you Rand btw? How it's going with the you got kicked out of auto auction????
Randy I really hope you carry some antibacterial hand cleaner with you especially for cars just like this one!!!
I like the Toyota Avalon Randy 😎😎👍👍
Tornado Alley buddy, really hard on cars. Pick up some good deals.
Your sniffing noise cracks me up 😂😂
Some car washes used tokens , and arcade game. Also buses had smaller ones size of dimes
That Avalon is 👍🏾
HA, you should come to Nebraska...
Don’t you give up on it like that dude come on now you call yourself a RUclipsr you are you one of my top favorite RUclipsr I don’t give up on anything
That Avalon would be good for Nick.
I really need that journey quarterpanel for my 2007 Dodge Journey
The Avalon is a good first car. Big safe comfy reliable
Can you do sports car alone on the next video
I got a 2012 rav4 limited and you have to put the key up to the button to start if the key is dead and it works with mine
Be safe and careful.😊👍🙏
That would be a great car to buy.😊👍
Pls look at that 2000d explorer sitting next to the tdi
Avalon for Nick
I like the Avalon 😀
Take the Dodge to get it wrapped in a camouflage wrap. 🤔
All the hail damage would disappear and you would have a good daily driver/winter vehicle. 👍🏻
that Toureg is what you call a lemon the delamination on the drivers window are shaped like lemons
the airbaglight in the Avalon is interesting it could be taht it's on the Takata airbag recall if it is than the drivers airbag is being changed free of charge at Toyota
I bet you an older couple owned that Avalon.😊👍
lol that hood. They had us in the first half ....
On the Toyota Avalon it looked liked the passenger side front tire got pushed in towards the engine & the mileage on the Toyota Avalon is (147,531) that's located on the driver's side window
I own a VW TDI and it takes around 30 minutes to change the glow plugs on the VW TDI Engines VW TDI will last forever and you get great feul economy.
It works and it's loud to let you know there was something behind you that was close.😷
4:25 That looked like a car wash token
Yes put remote in and turn to start Volkwagen.👍 It has some issues.😷
She seems to be running good now.😊👍
The employees have gotten lazy there.👍
Must not have ever seen Reed timmers vehicle lol
Liked the Toyota Avalon.
Do you think you could wrap a car that has a held damage and look good?
It's hard to say what's wrong with the vw but I had that same car in blue 2013 it used to do that when the key fob was dying instead of telling you it just wouldn't run it would start and dy over and over again like 5-7 times before running perfectly I took it to 3 mechanics and they couldn't figure it out I figured it out myself when the key died completely and wouldn't unlock it or anything so I got a mobile key guy to make me 2 new keys and it never did it again it blow my mind

Randy, a flashing glow plug light means restricted performance in Volkswagens of this time
4:30 generic arcade type token
G35 or g37 would be a top pick for myself 👍
The vw mpg are on the radio
That would be a good Dodge Caravan for your step daughter. Just put a white wrap over the hood,fenders,roof,sides and back of it.👍
Good Evening There My Good Little Bro Randy Lee Shear Of Auto Auction Rebuilds
It's a "Golfball"! LOL
did that dodge journey drive through a tornado
Or did it stall because the E brake was on?
tdi probably has a hpfp going bad . CP4 expensive to fix
LOL !! that was a car wash token.. Apparently never used from the look of the vehicle..
Randy purchase for your son great car
Buy that Avalon. Randy that car will last longer than anything in the 2020s
Glow plugs may need to be replaced.
That Toyota Avalon need to BE saved
My husband said dry ice will get the hail damage out.
Whoever is watching this video, I hope this day will be a great day.
tuerig might be worth cleaning up...
Hi i love you randy
that dodge van wow!! VW not sure needs a serious cleaning. toyota is nice why was it parked for a year.
Randy after thay sit for awhile blood wood not be Red it will be a brown or maybe black but not red I'd say it was something else like maybe a drink or something else Charlie kretschmar Phoenix Arizona
someone sent the YTS kid out to do mark the dents!
Good afternoon I'm not trying to be hurtful but I'd like to see you change your format and try going inside and actually bidding on a car it would be a lot more interesting to me. Of course everybody has their own likes and dislikes don't understand. Have a great afternoon
Buy the dodge 😂😂😂
Headlight fluid is empty on the Toyota.
This Dodge Journey without hail damage is already so bad. With these damages is worse.
You shouldn't get the Toyota Avalon for nick
That is a token from an arcade to run coin operated games.
Only $500 on the Avalon randy
Volkswagen you was in was a diesel
Why dont you use gloves 😢
How can people live with their cars in a disgusting state.
