I'm getting a used 97 Avalon XLS from a relative, with 82k miles. The car is in decent shape. Always garaged, most of the miles have been city stop and go with deep south summer heat to boot. Oil was changed by dealer every 3k with Castrol so I'm hoping it doesn't have the sludge problem.
The valve cover gaskets are leaking. Is this a common problem? The back one looks like plenty of fun to change.
Where can I get a shop manual?
Steering rack was replaced under warranty. Timing belt was done at
50k. Anything else to look for?-RC
