longislander Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) The husband of someone who works in our office has a Toyota Avalon, which lease is ending. He was all set to get another one (without even considering anything else) when I suggested he look at an MKZ (she had seen mine and liked it). I hooked them up with my excellent salesman at my excellent dealership and they saw and drove it on Saturday, loved it, and made the deal! It's only slightly more expensive than they were paying, for a step up in prestige (but it is a step down in size). I am especially glad to get someone to switch from an import to an American brand!

jmcgliss Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Well done! I looked at the Avalon for a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airflow Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Nice work! Bonus points for the Toyota conversion. What color did they go with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longislander Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Nice work! Bonus points for the Toyota conversion. What color did they go with?Magnetic/Ebony (same as mine!). Select 2.0/AWD w/single panel moonroof and all-weather mats as only options. Edited July 11, 2017 by longislander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airflow Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Very cool. Magnetic is a great color. I'm waiting to see one with black aftermarket wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting to see a Magnetic Reserve trim with the new Magnetic-painted wheels. I believe someone on this forum has one of those on order! On another note, I had a client stop by my office today to show me his 2017 MKZ loaner (his 21016 MKC is in for service). It was Black Diamond with the Driver's Package! He let me take it for a spin - those seats look and feel great, and the slightly firmer suspension compared to mine (both in "Normal") was very much to my liking! No regrets but I surely see the appeal of the Driver's Package. Edited July 11, 2017 by longislander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolds1 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Good work! I had a rented Avalon in February of this year. No comparison. It's an appliance for someone who wants to step up a bit from a Camry. Drivers need not apply. JoeBrown and Robert Iggy Cerami 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
