I have 220,000 miles on mine and the only thing was routine maintenance until last fall when I got a check engine and both 2 and 3 cylinders were miss firing... its a sensor of some kind and i still have not gotten it fixed...shame on me. still runs fine just uses more fuel and does not have the git up and go at 60 to 65 mph. besides that I love it and will drive it until it runs no more.......
SOURCE: 2008 toyota avalon dead batery
There sounds to be a problem with your alternator. If the car went dead every few hours or week I'd say its the battery. But if the car lasts 3 months between problems, then you're battery is a champ despite fighting a losing battle. Do you ever take long trips that coincide with this problem? If your battery isn't recharging then it could drain to dead on a longer trip. There could also be an electrical problem like a bad ground that only shorts bad every once in a while. Read the voltage when the battery is connected to the car with everything off and then again when the battery is disconnected from the car. Also, have you had the alternator checked? Have you inspected the engine for bad grounds? Have you tried buying one of those battery saver devices? Hope this helps.

SOURCE: My 2005 toyota avalon is leaking oil and smells
It really depends on where the oil is leaking from. Most of the time, engine vibration and constant bumpy rides could loosen bolts and nuts here and there causing parts to brush against each other. In areas like the Gearbox and the engine itself, there is a thin material known as a Gasket that seats in between some these parts to prevent lubricants [i.e.oil] from leaking. If this gasket wears out, you have an oil leak. However friction is rarely the cause of oil leaks. When a gasket serves its time [after years of heating and cooling, contaction and expansion] it simply needs changing. So you could check to see if really you have worn out gaskets or loose joints.
As for the smell of burning oil, that is probably due to worn out engine rings. Around every Piston are a series of rings that prevent lubricating oil from going into the combustion chambers. when they are worn out, some oil becomes part of the combustion process reducing your cars overall power and causing smoke.
As for Cost, you wont spend much to have the oil leaks checked, as for the rings, you'll probably spend a little bit more. Where I live all that never goes past $170
