Good luck with it. I'm keeping mine until the doors/wheels fall off, which is probably going to be well over a decade since I also have a company vehicle for work.

Midnighblack, XLE(base model, but plenty of options),
I'll keep mine until the repair cost becomes significant.
The XLE is a pretty loaded vehicle for a "base model" car. My father has one. It has all the important stuff.
I bought my XLE Premium used at a non-Toyota dealer and they only had it listed as an XLE. I had no idea either, I just liked the car.
They were unaware it had NAV and remote start, which I discovered when I got it home. Then I found out it was an XLE Premium when I took it to the Toyota dealer for service the first time. They showed me the differences.

The feature I like about XLE premium is blind spot monitor, but I can be fine without it.
Personally, the differences between XLE and XLE premium cannot justify the extra cost.
One of our 4 sons has a 2003 Avalon that has been a dream to own. Just gas,drive and regular service since new.
I admire it to the point that if I need a car soon it will be an Avalon.

That's part of the reason I bought mine. A few years ago when I visited my parents out-of-state, my father ended up getting into an accident in his truck. He called me because I was in town, I had to drive my mother over to the accident scene and then to the hospital in their Avalon. I was amazed at how nice it was, so it went on my radar when I was car shopping the following year.
I think it's a pretty decent buy for a V6 sedan under 27k.
Hopefully the reliability lives up to Toyota name, I plan to keep it 5 years+.
The Avalon is one of the best keep secrets in the world of automobiles. They're an absolute steal compared to what else you can get for the same price.
