750/trade/barter very light hail damage on the top surfaces per Carmax - "front end has been repaired" front end looks good, slight gap on passenger's side "apron repaired" "frame-prior repair" "driver fender and pass fender - prior paintwork" i have Carmax paperwork, you can see it Hi , I bought this car in July of 2014 at around 305,000 miles now around 311,000 miles 1997 Toyota Avalon XLS 6 cylinders Automatic 4 door sedan Rust - very little Starts , runs, drives , stops, goes in reverse Battery - technically it is not the "recommended" battery for the for the car, but it does work I believe that it is still under warranty from Auto Zone MPG - actually pretty good guessing 26 on the highway Free appraisal at Edmunds - Kelly blue book is inflated, to me VIN - 4T1BF12B2VU170741 Title in hand, clean and clear All 4 automatic windows go up and down all of the way Moon roof opens and closes all of the way Trunk opens and closes all of the way Trunk light appears not to be working , hopefully it just needs a bulb? Trunk gets wet a little after rain/ car wash. the car interior does not get wet Hood open and closes Recalls - no open recalls on the vehicle, that i am aware of fuel , it will run on the cheap stuff ( 87 ) tires - not bald , back 4/10 ? front 7.5/10? We can take the car to a mechanic, or meet there , for a vehicle inspection and to view the under side of the car,etc. if possible ( some shops may not allow the customers in the service area, possibly due to liability ) ideally the inspection would be free, sometimes it is cheaper just to get an oil change, if an inspection is part of an oil change, which it should be at a reputable mechanic. I want you to know everything that is wrong with the car windshield wiper fluid reservoir leaks, it holds very little if any fluid, therefore the windshield wiper "sprayers" work very little if any estimate $347 for washer fluid reservoir from Grossinger 7225 N Cicero. i do not recommend these people reservoir was not leaking that bad until AFTER they looked at it ! Grossinger 7225 N Cicero recommended rear tie rods and bushings for 859$ on 10 19 2014 windshield wipers both work coolant does not appear to leak. coolant appears to be doing it's job, but new coolant would not hurt power steering fluid hose may have a very slow leak, reservoir approximately half full, for several months power steering itself works engine oil may be leaking slowly ,engine oil level is in the operating range, oil change done recently 11 2014 ( head gasket was replaced 10 2014 i have receipt ) Transmission does not appear to be leaking , transmission fluid is in the operating range, i would NOT recommend changing the transmission fluid. i have heard of people changing the fluid on older cars and the transmission not working properly afterwards. if the trans fluid ever becomes low, i would recommend simply adding more, to the proper level brake fluid does not appear to be leaking differential fluid - does not appear to be leaking no remote reason i am selling the car - i do not need the car i will take the ad down immediately after it is sold clean and clear title in hand tires rotated recently 10 2014 most/all lights, brights, and turn signals appear to work (driver side brake light may or may not need a bulb) front passenger light has a little clear tape over, i believe this is street legal, check state/local/county code/statute/rules/laws to be sure window tinting i believe it is street legal 5/10 as far as darkness? starting to peel front drivers window radio works. cassette works i think , CD changer does not work , volume works but knob has issues all tires appear hold air one may have a very slow leak , front driver side ? tires 5/10 full size spare tire , holds air i think the jack is there odometer works approximately 311 000, but the trip counter does not 1 owners manual 2 keys they work in ignition,doors,trunk, but they do not lock the glove box brakes 5/10 ? exterior 7.5/10 interior 5/10 tan leather heat/defrost/defog works very well a/c does not blow cold in the summer all of the fuses / relays appear to be present and working a new cabin air filter would not hurt, it is cheap and you can do it yourself this a car actually has good acceleration, there is even a " power " button it would probably be even better with some new spark plugs / wires etc overdrive works $300 08 2014 passenger rear strut replaced $110 on exhaust work 10 17 2014 at Mufflers 4 Less 6059 N Clark Chicago 773 973 4479 $30 oil change 11 12 2014 Northshore Auto Clinic 1211 W Howard Evanston IL 847 869 1441 $350 valve cover gasket replaced 10 01 2014 Northshore Auto Clinic 1211 W Howard 847 869 1441 $ 33 lube oil filter inspection & tire rotation Grossinger 7225 N Cicero (i do not recommend Grossinger at 7225 N Cicero, however, i believe that they match competitor's coupons :-) Specifications LENGTH 15ft 10.2in WIDTH 5ft 10.3in HEIGHT 4ft 7.9in Exterior Measurements WIDTH 5 ft. 10.3 in.
