There are 2009 and 2010s currently on dealership lots, and you could likely strike a good deal on a 2009 while they’re still around. The 2010 is relatively unchanged, so you’re not missing out on much by getting a 2009.
Our Smart Target Pricing is an estimate of where to start negotiations. The Smart Target Price for a 2009 Avalon XLS with a navigation system is $32,326. The original MSRP as configured is $35,085 with no other options. The 2010’s Smart Target Price with your preferred combination is $34,938 compared to the original MSRP of $35,245.
Our reviewers haven’t been overly thrilled with the execution of the Avalon’s navigation system. You could easily save some money by skipping the navigation option and going for an aftermarket GPS. Cars.com editor Kelsey Mays explains in his review of the 2009 Avalon:
“The optional navigation system hasn't aged well. Its dated graphics, laggy response and usability-hampered directional controller will have you longing for the vastly superior touch-screen units across most of Toyota's lineup. If you're directionally challenged like me, skip it and get an aftermarket unit.”
We’re not seeing any incentives offered from Toyota that could lower the price through cash-back offers or low interest rates, so be sure to keep tabs on special offers.
