2005 Toyota Avalon 4dr Sedan

280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD

178000 mi

US $300
Wiper motor replaced 
48800 mi Telescope function via lever. Would spontaneously release. Toyota offered "warranty enhancement" to repair defect (instead of a recall). Car fixed at dealership. 
57700 mi

US $7
Plastic aerodynamic fairing underneath engine caught on piled up snow, tore loose, had to re-attach using original screws and some stainless steel (non-rusting) "fender washers" (cost aprox $5-$7) 
140300 mi

US $300
Dealer quoted nearly $2000 to repair the bar that came out from under the front seat tracks and the rear sunshade which suddenly won't work. I decided to not do it since the agebof the car makes it not worth it. The $300 is for tuneup. 
81400 mi driver's side mirror was showing a double image in the reflection of lights, so had it replaced under the warranty program.
