2001 Solara

[Dscream]

i bought a 2001 solara w/ 85K miles on it.... i'm hoping this car will last a long time cause i can't afford for it to break down any advice on how to keep it running for a long time??? also how long do you think this car will last ??? as far as mileage goes?

Not sure this is the right section to ask this in. Anyway do the dealer maintenance schedule and you should be good for a long time. If you have a 5S-FE power train, drive sensibly and do proper maintenance you should be good for 250k+ easily. My parents had a 93 Camry with that power train and traded it in w/ around that many miles.

[WTF??]

Yup Im up with Tads... just ensure you do your normal maintenance and take care of it... youll be fine

Toyotas will last for ever, my first truck (87 toyota Pick-up 4x4 22r 4cyl) had 400,000 miles when i got it. It had never been rebuilt.

It should easily go for 200,000 if the last owner didn't abuse it.

My friend's friend has a 2001 Tundra or Tacoma that already has over 400k on it because he commutes from LA to Vegas 4-6 days a week =x

it'll last forever...even if the old owner didn't take great care of it..toyotas in general are built to last...my friend still has a geo metro ( built by toyota in fremont) that has like over 250K and was a 90 model i think and it still in his words " damn car won't die"

[HKSV6SLE]

oops i meant prizm.....the metro was built by hyundai..i think....

Toyotas will last for ever,

I have 1988 Land Cruiser that still runs like it used to 15 years ago. Keep changing oil and filter every 2500-3000 miles and you'll be fine. I also have 2001 solara and no problems with it either.
How long it will last depends on your driving habbits and the kind of upgrades you add to it. In general I think it will last more than 200,000 miles.

Fell Confident with TOYOTA!!
