Should i get a Solara?

[ezshift5]

...it's a matter of preference and taste....but consider this...

1. 25-27 in town; 31-33 highway....

2. 70k: no real problems (electric window switch under warranty).......lately some buttons on the JBL quit working.....

3. $20 oil/filter chg; $200 60k service; cheap insurance.....

4. AND it's a SE-V6 stick (has real nice clutch takeup/gear change) .....no longer offered (but you can get a 4-cyl stick)..ez

I'd get the 03 Solara,

Hey you going to Harrisburg, I live right outside of harrisburg, in Lemoyne.
Maybe you can swing by when you buy your new car. If your thinking about customizing your car at all, maybe I could give ya couple pointers. The solaras could use another young buck. Its seems like all the solaras around here are owned by old people. You'll see what I mean

Yeah, that would be awesome.. Other then my parents, and thier friends.. I dont know anyone in Harrisburg..
We Live in the Lower Paxton township, off of Linglestown Rd in a subdivision called "Quail Hollow" and that is off Crums Mill Rd.

My parents have been living in Harrisburg for 3 years now, they own the Orkin Pest Control franchise there, and they are getting ready to get Perry, and York counties also, so i know a little bit about harrisburg.
Thanks alot! -- You should send me pics of your Solara..


Btw, about the previous post someone said about the gas tank.. I know it is quite a bit bigger then my malibu's. but my malibu gets like 21-23 avg on the highway.. and thats not even being that hard on it!

I have a good idea of where thats at. Maybe we could hang out some time.
I never really took pics of my car, but I'll bring my car so that you could take a look. Its a supercharged 2000 though, (its for sale ) but just about the same as 03. Are you in town yet?, or are you still in the process?

I graduate in May.. Like May 20th if we dont get anymore snow days. Then i will be up there, def by june 1st.. Yeah that would be great, i dont know very many people up there.

just get the six banger, don't worry about insurance you will enjoy the performance difference on simple things like accelerating to highway speeds.
the 4 is good but the 6 is def. better

I would recomend getting a v6 if you can help it. I got a 99 se v6 manual around 9500. It only had 61k on it. I understand you want a car with less than 30k, but lets be honest here. Your buying a toyota. A company that is know for its quality. You should be able to run that car up to 200k with hardly any maintence. I went from a chevy to a toyota for this very reason. I hate admitting it, but i face the fact. (yep im a chevy guy who went and bought a toyota) Also your concerned about the insurance. I went from a camaro to a solara. My insurance for the 97 camaro was a bit less than 180. With my 99 solara v6 is like 135 a month. Thats with a perfect record too. No accidents or tickets. Personally the few extra bucks a month for the solara v6 i think is worth it. I would call your insurance and find out how much more it would be for a v6 solara.
