Should I buy a used Toyota Avalon now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2020 model is at −0.11% versus a year ago, and the 2019 model is at −6.04%.
• Deal availability: The 2020 model has 27.3% good and great deals, and the 2019 model has 27%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2014 model has the most listings at a current average price of $14,509. The Toyota Avalon offers a roomy cabin, a comfortable ride, and a premium-feeling driving experience that make it easy to live with every day.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Toyota offers three different powertrains for the 2021 Avalon, but if you want the new AWD system, you’re going to need to settle for the same 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that goes into the Camry. In this application, it makes a decent 205 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque, but it’s not going to put a grin on your face.
• Tech: Every 2021 Avalon has a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system display, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto (new this year), Amazon Alexa, SiriusXM satellite radio (free for three months), and the full collection of Toyota connected services.
• Safety: Toyota Safety Sense-P (TSS-P) is standard with every 2021 Avalon.
• Starting price: Prices for Avalon models start at $35,875 and rise to $43,300, overlapping the most expensive Camry and least expensive Lexus ES models.

If you're buying used today, the 2014 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2023 inventory to mature.
