So, it is a Toyota Avalon then. 1997 XLS package which means that is has leather and a moon roof, two items I would not normally seek out. They just happen to be a part of this car along with the 128,000+ miles. Cars have always been for me simply a way to get to work. The last one, the one with the new back windshield and the bad engine, had no working tape player, no cd player, three power windows that worked, flashed "Change Oil Now" constantly on the dashboard, often would not go in reverse unless the engine warmed up for about five minutes, and no a.c. It took me to work and home.

I suppose that no one can escape the feeling that the used car that was just purchased might very possibly break down the first day you drive it home. Particularly, if purchased at AJ's Nice Cars from a Lebanese man with pictures of Mohammed posted all over what used to be a gas station on a road in Arlington, Texas, that has one used car dealership after another.

Too bad you didn't go a block farther - you'd have found AJ's Really Nice Cars...
