saying goodbye to the solara

[solaraslev67]

Hey guys and gals,

I am very happy, and sad but the solara and I have parted ways. With a little over 115,000 miles on it, and gas prices not getting any cheaper, and the fact that it was paid off. I did something crazy. I got a Kia. Now I know what your thinking, its garbage and what not, but to be honest, 36mpg highway is something I really couldnt pass up. I got a sweet deal with a low monthly payment and right now I need something with a lot of cargo room and good on gas. So here it is my new Kia Spectra 5...

but first, what was...


and the new car...





Im sorry that I do not have the solara anymore but I will definitely still be posting here. You guys have been awesome the last 2.5 years and I wish you guys all the best.

I will be selling my konig imagines, not going to lie, my brother did a pretty bad job on 2 of the wheels and another got a flat on so its messed up also, ill post pics but thought id mention it.

the car was bought like that, with the lip kit, the exhaust (kinda cheesy i know) and the 17" tsw wheels. The dealership gave me 5750ish for the solara. I also didnt have to put anything down.
Performance wise, its not the solara. Getting to 20 is rather sluggish but after that its not too shabby. It rides well, handles alright, but overall I love it. Cant go wrong with the 10yr/100,000 mile warranty. I needed a change and I found it. To me, its practical and looks nice. I only plan on removing the Kia emblem on the front grill to give it that mesh look, black tint and a little sound system to it. Nothing performance wise. But the solara is still number 1. I will always have it in my mind. Anthony, we still need to have a solara meet with that stupid kid who has a kia lol.

i believe the sticker price was around 21 with everything but i actually talked the guy, who was helping us out also to basically get that for free (it came to a little over 17,5) and then the 5750 with the trade in I think I did well.

does this leave me and WTF with the only 2 tbp solaras on the board? ive noticed you werent really on here much lately, how long ago did you sell? either way, keep us updated on the kia, looks pretty damn nice as it is.

come to canada and see how much gas is in here i.e. 1.20 CAD per 1 leter which is close to 5 CAD per 1 gal or 4.40 USD per galon. This is normal price.

All you need to do with that Kia is a drop, the car actually looks pretty nice!

I'm not a big supporter of Korean products, especially considering my bad luck with them, but if you're happy, I'll wish you the best with your new purchase. So with that in mind, how much are you selling the rims for, how big are they and are they bent/badly scratched?

[WTF??]
