Hey guys i just bought a 2000 Solara SLE. Its pearl white with black interior. Its fully loaded, it has 98000 miles which is high for the year. Its a one owner car and its pretty clean. I paid 6700 for it? Is that a good price? What are some mods i could do to it? Whats the 0-60 times and 1/4 mile? Thanks guys.

Welcome

I'm not sure on the price, but I guess it's not that bad. There are some mods, buy many have been discontinued. So, you'll have to shop around usually having to buy used from other owners. The 1/4 miles times aren't that great, but here's a site showing some n/a and s/c solaras. Just make note that the top few Solaras have spent a grip on engine upgrades to achieve those times.

BTW, if you haven't been there, there's more info on SolaraGuy

Nice, i drive the same car, only with the beige leather interior, the first thing i did to it was clear corners, looks so much better, cheap too, like Astro mentioned, there wasn't alot of aftermarket support for the Solara but there are some, and if you are looking for performance mods you better have money. $6700 is not a bad price, i'd still recommend taking it to a shop if you haven't done that yet. Welcome.

You think i could have found a better deal? Its a real clean car from a dealer. Its the Sle v6.

that is a pretty good price, and if you say it's clean(hopefully you've taken it in to get inspected) then you did get a really good price, my cousin was out here to visit and he liked my car and so he's looking into Solara pricing in California, and the cheapest one he found had some issues with it.

Thats a great price. I paid $15k out the door for 01 with leather, V6 and sunroof and 32k miles. (North Hollywood, CA)

Ya I think that price is pretty good for a sle pkg. I look forword to seeing what your going to do with it.
