  1. Hi all, Our 2002 Avalon Grande has from about three months back developed an issue whereby the roof lining is deteriorating. The grey fabric is fine but the foam beneath it is becoming powdery. The car which was bought new has always been garaged (one owner) & other than a torn Sub woofer cone, due to the boot back pressure when closing, (poor design), the car has been faultless & has done less than 100,000Km & always parked where possible in the shade! The GPS DVD is one version prior to the latest. We have now committed to a new car (deposit paid) which will be available in March/April so the problem puts me in a quandary. The new car dealer (Mercedes) won't commit to a trade in valuation till a week before the new car is ready but they have "hinted" at an abysmal $500 up to $1,000 trade in. Except for the hassle we would rather give it to a friend hopefully for the quoted valuation since other than (the barely noticeable) roof lining issue the car is in excellent condition & has always been fully serviced. I for one really resent the paltry trade in especially when the new car is costing in excess of $121,000. I'm somehow reluctant to pass the car onto a friend knowing the roof issue though I would most certainly point out the problem. Any information on this issue would be greatly appreciated thanks! We also want to keep our existing plates - is that difficult?
