The Toyota Avalon is Toyota’s flagship sedan in North America and has been available since 1995. As it is a well-known sedan, almost every vehicle shipping company knows how to handle it from start to finish, so you shouldn’t come against too many problems in your own vehicle shipping experience. In this helpful vehicle shipping article we’ll discuss the Toyota Avalon’s different models, their key features, as well as what you can expect when shopping for vehicle transport quotes to move your own.
The Toyota Avalon is currently available in two different models, the Avalon and the Limited. Both feature a 3.5L V6 engine with a six-speed automatic transmission. The Avalon features leather-trimmed-and-powered driver and passenger seats, reclining rear seats, a backup camera and a power tilt/slide moonroof. The Limited features some of these as well as a Smart Key System, heated and ventilated front seats, and a JBL Synthesis 600-watt audio system with USB ports, iPod connectivity and music streaming via Bluetooth wireless technology.
When it comes to actually shipping your Avalon, there are a couple things that go into your vehicle shipping quotes, perhaps the most important being the pickup and delivery cities. Vehicle shipping companies use the distance and locations of both your pickup and delivery cities to calculate their base vehicle shipping price. Larger, heavier vehicles are usually subjected to an overweight vehicle shipping fee, but the Avalon is neither large nor heavier than usual, so the most important factors in your own vehicle shipping quotes will be the cities you need to ship your Avalon from and to. Usually the farther the pickup and delivery locations are, the more money it will cost to ship, but shipping to or from cities that are off the beaten path can be more expensive than routes that are commonly traveled, even if they are closer together than cities on commonly traveled routes. If you need to save a bit of money during your vehicle shipping, it’s best to talk to a live representative about your needs and budgetary requirements and see what they can do to help. It might be that you need to move your vehicle to a more vehicle-shipping-friendly location, which might help save a bit of money, though this isn’t always available.
