It's too bad Toyota stopped making these beautiful cars, I have a 2007 also and over 200K miles. I love this car. I would definitely buy a brand new one if they were available. Toyota, are you listening???
I have a 2006 Solara convertible that is the same color inside, outside and top. I bought it in May of 2017 with 10,200 miles. Now (12/15/18) it has 14,400 miles. I love driving it and always with a smile.
@@CC-ef7di I paid 10k for it in 2017. I am the 3rd owner. I know the first owner, soon after she bought the car she got pregnant and the baby and the car didn't go well together. The 2nd owner bought it for his wife and she didn't really like it much so it sat for a few years in storage. At this time 6/3/20 my Solara has 15,500 miles on the odometer. All owners live in Fairbanks, AK. All owners had another car or pickup for the cold winters.
@@gangatalishis The engine is not rebuilt. The car had two owners before me who just hardly ever drove it. An understandable reason it that we all live in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Although I am a Huge GM fan, I have to admit that Toyota made their cars very well and anyone who has had one knows that if you take care of them, they just last and never die. So much power in that V6. Such a Beautiful Car. If it was still for sale, I’d Buy it!!
I own a 2010 Lexus IS hardtop convertible, which was the first year for them. The Solara *does* remind me a lot pf it, and was probably a spiritual precursor.
Awesome video. Gorgeous car. A friend is selling a 2005 SLE blue like yours with 128k miles. The only issue is that the top has to be replaced and I have no idea the cost. Any suggestions. Thank you. JC
@@TeslaOptimusRobot no Toyota wanted 7000$ to put a new top on I thought that was crazy it is the price of the car. So I found a guy who does this professionally from his home garage and his other real garage took 2 weeks for it to come in and 3 hours to change total price 1500 cash! Best deal and no more stress 😆
No they wanted 7000$ to replace it so I found a guy who does this for a living and he charged me 1500$ with removal and installation. The canvas roof is double layer with a life time garentee for the back window as the original roof leaked. This one is better as it it also sowed in. It was a good deal. Toyota dealership suck I saved so much not doing the replacement roof with them.
For some reason there are a lot of well kept Solara's here in Florida. I bought a 2002 in great condition a couple years ago, and the same lot had like 3 more very nice Solara's
the top is relatively fast as supposed to a 08 benz clk. but of course toyota is know for being utilitarian cars. it would be nice though to see how the center console looks inside. beside that Great video man keep up the awesome job👍🏾
Test drove an absolutely red one when they first came out, absolutely could not see out the back! It rode really floaty. I ended up buying a new pt cruiser GT convertible with the turbo 2.4l. I kept the pt many years because it looked good and was fun. Sorry toyota. I drive a lexus sc430 now. I can afford one 18 years later.
Nahhhhh I would like a red 🍒 with black top and black leather looks more elegant I have an 01 already and I'm looking for another even a clean preowned is ok
@Suman Bajgain I bought an sc not too long ago. There is virtually no backseat. At least for anyone with legs. Im not exaggerating. If you have an kids or friends you want to ride along, better offf with Solara for sure.
@Suman Bajgain my 2002 sc has a much firmer suspension than the Solara I test drove. It is plush in that you don't feel every bump but there are jitters over uneven pavement at times. I test-drove a first generation Solara; they may have stiffened the springs up in later models. My car's steering is slightly heavy, heavier than my 2011 Highlanders (which is also Camry based) I don't think any little old grannies would enjoy my steering wheel because it is not effortless. As for looks, I get a lot of "beautiful car" comments and stares. Its bright red, though. And it is fast on takeoff, due to the v8. It can sure eat up interstate miles with no strain on engine at all.
Use to live in mexico and wanted a better life so I said fuck it and cross usa now I own solara and a suv 4 runner fuck the migra now I'm looking forward a supra
One of the most underrated cars of all time.
Totally. I am buying a 2005 SLE with 128k miles but it needs a new top and I have no clue the cost to replace it.

how did you get one with such low miles? had to have been a rebuilt engine.
Theres some people with solaras with low milages
What was the price when you bought it? I am thinking to buy one 2004 with 91k miles.

The "cup holders" in the trunk were designed to hold bottles
The infant containment net is in reach of the cup holders in the trunk so your infants don’t get dehydrated.

Would love to buy this. I have a dark blue full covered. I’m in love with this one
I have one exactly like this. bought it new in 2007 and love it. Only negative thing is rear visibility with top up.
It’s not much better with the top down, but still love driving this car.
Very large Blind spot.
True that. Mine is an ‘07 too.
Top down definitely helps
@@MIForrestguy It's a big help for anyone getting in and out of the backseat, too.
I’m trying to find one lower than 50,000 miles and good condition near where I live.
My algorithm brought me back to a freakin 11:something video. It can be done, but I like the long ones Bill! Cheers!
Its always a solid moment when Aunt Bobbitt is right in front of ya right Bahahah
Wonder if it's true these were designed to be badged as a Lexus.
I own a 2010 Lexus IS hardtop convertible, which was the first year for them. The Solara *does* remind me a lot pf it, and was probably a spiritual precursor.
my dream car
Toyota vehicles are built to last if well taken care of
Still love this. I was just thinking that the outside appearance looks a little similar to one of the Peugot convertible models.
Im in love with this car 😍
Cool car/video, never seen one of these before!
*starts off by showing us all the cars we can’t have*
There is an 08 with 36k for $8000. Considering it.
That's a real good deal
I never seen this car before.
Me too

Dad left a FL version with 45k. It's weather strips need replacement but beautiful.
Wonder if it's still available
this man could sell me a coffin

I have a beautiful bright red 2006 Toyota conv 71,000 miles
Throw some Canadians in the back seat. 😂👌🏽
As a Canadian, I approve this message.
I'm looking.for.one at the auction
I own a 2007 and love it I just had the top replaced looks like new.
Was it replaced by Toyota?

That must be one of the best kept sorala .... I wonder how much it was sold for

Senera?
Is this car still available sir

Toyota should revive the Solara
المرحومة سارونة💔😪

Im jealous of the leather trim and heated seats, how much did you pay?
My 2004 solara Hard Top has heated leather seats and wood trim like this one.
they're big cheap in today's market
Nahhhhh I would like a red 🍒 with black top and black leather looks more elegant I have an 01 already and I'm looking for another even a clean preowned is ok
This is every 2000’s MV car

Toyota solara or Lexus sc430 ? Asking for myself
The Sc is very expensive to maintain, Solara has way more room inside and gets better MPG.
sc430 if you care about going fast and having fun, solara if you just wanna cruise and have your family along for the ride.
@Suman Bajgain I bought an sc not too long ago. There is virtually no backseat. At least for anyone with legs. Im not exaggerating. If you have an kids or friends you want to ride along, better offf with Solara for sure.

@Suman Bajgain have you looked at the Lexus IS convertibles? They made those until 2015, I think. Hardtop and bigger backseat.
I love mine, but it is starting to show its age.
It’s not a sports car? No shit shirlock. Another UA-cam expert.
I live in Canada and I have NEVER seen one of those in my entire life ( I live near Toronto ).
Use to live in mexico and wanted a better life so I said fuck it and cross usa now I own solara and a suv 4 runner fuck the migra now I'm looking forward a supra
I am not in Toronto but have one.
CUP HOLDERS IN THE TRUNK. DEAD BODIES THAT'S NOT DEAD YET OF COURSE LOL
Yeah, but the fish smell...
Terrible recording skills
