Are 1998 Toyota Avalons reliable

Answer 1

I purchased my 98 Avalon XL new and it has 240,000 miles on it. Use it almost every day for sales calls. Has never let me down or not been available for me. The only thing I have replaced on the engine is the valve cover gaskets (once) and just recently the O2 sensor. Internals and transaxle are untouched and the car will run with the big boys on the expressway with no problem. Mileage on highway in cruise consistently right at 29-31 mph. Still has factory hoses, exhaust system, etc. Without a doubt the best thing car I've owned. I am confident it will make 400,000 before having to rebuild engine.
