Based on the criteria you listed above, Camry 2006 best Avalon 2007 in parts availability, second-hand value and fuel economy (most Camry 2006 are i4 engines while all Avalon are v6 engines).

I would say Avalon 2007 is more durable than Camry 2006.

thanks boss

Any other answer or suggestions?

From experience Camry is far better and economical. And retail for Camry are very fast second to Corolla. Avalon retail are scarce and its market value after several years of usage. Parts of Camry are readily available and cheap, Avalon isnt. Most V6 are prone to wiring issues with time. Ask any experienced mechanic.

The average mechanic is scared of V6 engines and would always advice against it.

Only a quack mechanic will say this.
An Avalon is the flagship product of Toyota so it's naturally built better, it's more comfortable, more refined, it's more bigger. That said, it's size is what keep folks away.

Once you drive a V6..... You'll never go back to an I4.... It's like comparing soapy (I4) with a super hot and super sexy lady in full action in bed (V6)...of course you'll spend more resources with the lady...but money spent will be well "spended"...

smh

please what kind of people give advice in this cartalk? it's already bad enough on the mercedes benz thread with all kinds of ignorant children posting nonsense and the elders that should know better are joining the fray

the 2006 Camry 4 cylinder is the 2AZ engine which is the oga patapata of engine oil burning

the 2006 Camry V6 is the 3MZ engine which was a very reliable engine with no real issues, even the sludge issue that was in the previous 1MZ was not present in the 3MZ

any mechanic that runs away from a 16 year old 3MZ toyota V6 engine does not deserve that mechanic title or job description

be guided

Why quote me? Am I the mechanic that is scared of the engine?
If you have an opinion, drop it for everyone to read without insults. By the way if you feel so old, ask Seun to create "Nairaland for ancestors" so you can relate with your "mates".
