Used 2019 Toyota Avalon for Sale nearPhiladelphia, PA

How much does the 2019 Toyota Avalon cost?

Prices have softened 5.60% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 305 listings available, which suggests you should have some room to compare prices and condition.

Is the 2019 Toyota Avalon a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Toyota Avalon earns a 4.93/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Drivers consistently praise its smooth ride, comfort, and impressive performance, and they also call out its stylish design and strong technology. The overview frames it as a more modern, more engaging sedan with new tech, new looks, and more power, which fits the positive owner feedback well.

The trade-offs are clear: the expert review points to outdated technology and the lack of all-wheel drive. Even so, the Avalon still comes across as a strong fit if you want a comfortable, spacious sedan with a more premium feel and good value for the money.

With 34.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some attractive opportunities.

Is the 2019 Toyota Avalon reliable?

Owners rate it 4.93/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner summary also points to a car people feel good about living with over time, especially because it is described as smooth, comfortable, and impressive in daily use. The expert review reinforces that sense of dependability by describing the Avalon as composed and comfortable, with power to spare.

Toyota also gives you a standard safety setup that adds to the sense of confidence in ownership, and the cost-effectiveness notes emphasize that the Avalon delivers a lot of car for the money. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about whether you can live with the missing features and the car’s older-feeling tech.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Toyota Avalon?

At 61% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a careful inspection of body panels, paint consistency, and any signs of prior repair. Because the model’s appeal depends heavily on comfort, safety equipment, and overall condition, it makes sense to focus on how well the car has been maintained rather than just the odometer reading.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The XLE gives you 17-inch alloy wheels, auto LEDs, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry and ignition, heated power seats, heated mirrors, and the core tech and safety features. The XSE adds 19-inch wheels, gloss black exterior trim, a sunroof, a rear spoiler, paddle shifters, aluminum trim, microsuede seat panels, and extra engine noise through the stereo. The Limited shifts toward luxury with 18-inch wheels, a head-up display, leather and wood trim, heated rear seats and steering wheel, lighting upgrades, wireless phone charging, embedded navigation, and an upgraded JBL stereo. The Touring combines the XSE and Limited equipment and adds adaptive suspension, sport exhaust, active noise cancellation, and Sport+ driving mode.
• Powertrain: Every trim uses a 3.5-liter V6 with 301 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed transmission and front-wheel drive. The base XLE is rated at 26 mpg combined, while the rest of the lineup gives up 1 mpg combined and 1 mpg highway.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning with automatic braking and pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, auto high beams, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. The Advanced Safety package adds front and rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, and automatic braking for rear cross-traffic alert.
• Infotainment: The system uses a 9-inch touchscreen with pinch-and-zoom navigation, Apple CarPlay, Alexa support, a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 5 devices, and a Linux-based architecture. Android Auto is not included.
• Fuel efficiency: The base XLE is rated at 26 mpg combined, with 22 city and 32 highway. The rest of the lineup is rated slightly lower at 25 mpg combined and 31 highway.

Which 2019 Toyota Avalon trim should I buy?

The 2019 Toyota Avalon is offered in 4 trim levels: XLE, XSE, Limited, Touring.

Here's the short version:

• XLE: This is the best-value choice if you want the Avalon’s core strengths without paying for extras. You still get the strong safety suite, the V6 powertrain, and the main comfort features, so it covers the essentials well.
• XSE: Choose this if you want a more expressive look and a sportier feel, thanks to the larger wheels, exterior trim changes, sunroof, rear spoiler, paddle shifters, and interior upgrades. It is the trim that most clearly leans into the Avalon’s more youthful mission.
• Limited: This is the right pick if you care more about luxury and convenience than sporty styling. The head-up display, leather and wood trim, heated rear seats, wireless charging, navigation, and JBL audio make it the most upscale-feeling everyday choice.
• Touring: Pick this if you want the most complete Avalon experience and are willing to pay for it. It combines the XSE and Limited equipment and adds adaptive suspension, sport exhaust, active noise cancellation, and Sport+ mode.

The safety package note to keep in mind is that the Advanced Safety package adds front and rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, and rear cross-traffic automatic braking.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Toyota Avalon?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without feeling rushed.

• Deal availability: 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 305 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.60% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 61.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,890, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Toyota Avalon's resale value?

The current average of $24,157 sits slightly below last year's $25,589.

That softer pricing suggests the model has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price. If you shop carefully now, you may have a better chance of limiting how much value you lose later.

The Avalon’s strong reputation for comfort, safety, and owner satisfaction should help keep demand steady among sedan shoppers who still want a roomy, traditional full-size car. That said, resale will still depend on condition, mileage, and whether the car has a clean history.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.93/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Toyota Avalon safe?

The 2019 Toyota Avalon earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning with automatic braking and pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, auto high beams, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. If you want even more protection, the Advanced Safety package adds front and rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, and automatic braking for rear cross-traffic alert.

The main caveat is that the extra safety package is not standard, so you should confirm whether a used listing has it if those features matter to you.

Should I buy a 2019 Toyota Avalon or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.60% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.93/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 brings a redesigned look, more power, and new standard safety equipment.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $28,177, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $24,157 average.
• The 2020 marks the Avalon’s 25th birthday and builds on the revitalized TNGA-based fifth generation.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2019 is the smarter buy because it combines a lower average price with strong safety, good owner satisfaction, and a broad set of standard features. If you are willing to spend more for a newer model-year perspective, the 2020 is the path to consider, but price-sensitive buyers should focus on the 2019 while the market remains soft.
