The 2012 Toyota Avalon full-size sedan tops off Toyota’s lineup offering a cushioned ride and plenty of interior space and comfort.

Last year the Avalon got an exterior update which included a new front grille and headlights, changes which carry over into this new model year. Standard exterior features include 17-inch alloy wheels, a moonroof, LED rear taillights, and dual chrome exhaust tips.

There is one engine option in the Avalon – a 268 horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 that is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. This gives the Avalon plenty of power off the line and for passing maneuvers, but is mild mannered enough for easy city driving. In fact that’s a good way to describe the Avalon’s driving experience – easy. Lightly weighted steering and suspension tuned for comfort rather than sport ensures that the Avalon’s ride remains smooth even on less than stellar pavement.

Fuel economy numbers are on par with other full-size sedans like the Ford Taurus and Buick LaCrosse, 20 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.

The Avalon features comfortable seating for five passengers with almost 41 inches of rear leg room; however cargo room is slightly disappointing at 14.4 cubic feet, less than the mid-size Camry. Meant to be a little bit more upscale than the rest of Toyota’s car offerings, the Avalon comes with luxury features like leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, and simulated wood trim standard. USB/iPod connectivity is also standard. Options include heated/ventilated front seats, push-button start, and a touch-screen navigation system mounted right in the center of the dash.

Standard safety features include seven airbags (including driver’s knee airbag), antilock brakes, electronic stability system, and active front head restraints. The Avalon also won an IIHS Top Safety Pick award.

The 2012 Toyota Avalon picks up right where the previous year left off and offers you a smooth ride and plenty of space for passengers in its full-size cabin.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
