If you want a cheaper hybrid the Camry hybrid was the same size for $10K less. Unfortunately they hold their value a bit better as they don't have the granddad reputation the Avalon has.

Those are better deals, as long as they don't have major problems. I'd also be afraid of a salvage title.

I think the Camry is a tiny bit smaller, at least in the trunk. But still, definitely the kind of car to be on my radar.
