I have a 97 Toyota 4 runner limited with 360,000+ miles. Never touched the engine inside, or transmission. Only dislike to me is the timing belt replacements. Looking for a used 2010 or 12 Avalon. What is the most reliable older Avalon, you would suggest. thanks.

One that a mechanic has looked at for you ( for a fee ) and says he thinks it is decent. Even that is still a gamble as far as used vehicles go.
