My New Baby!

Picked up my 2002 Toyota Solara today from the dealer after plenty of fighting and arguing over their idiocy. It's an SE V6, 5-Speed Manual, Imperial Jade Mica, with the premium JBL sound system, sunroof, and cloth interior (so my ass doesn't sit on hot Texas heated leather and incinerate).

Eventually going to add the following (in no particular order):

TRD Supercharger (6 lb pulley)
TRD body kit
Green underbody lights (maybe LED?)
HID headlight kit

Nice - the interior looks really lite in colour in your pics - how many miles and how much did it cost after all your arguing?

Check out AutoTrader.com and look for one. Heck, look for a 2002 - do the "Any Distance" search.

Yeah, I've been hunting for just the right one for a long time now.

WOV one more year and another 10K miles for the warranty! NICE! I see the listing price of $14K, but how much did you pay for it?

by **Duffman** » Tue Aug 24, 2004 9:34 am

After tax, tag, title, and all that jazz it was $14,689.70; the car itself was $13,750.

And yes, still having that factory warranty is nice. It almost still has that new car smell, too! Well, not really. But it smells better than my '91 Camry (the white car next to my Solara in a couple of those shots).

I like underglow lights. As long as they are those LED ones not Neon. I like these I saw on a boosted lexus GS 400 (Jaime's car) at a Lexus meet and it is soo neat! He had them were they change color and can mix flashing patterns, still and all that good stuff.
