Toyota Solara Submodels
The Toyota Solara was the stylish, two-door sibling to the ubiquitous Camry, sold as a coupe and convertible over two generations. The first generation (1999-2003) shared its platform and engines with the XV20 Camry, offering a choice of a 4-cylinder or a 3.0L V6. The second generation (2004-2008) featured more distinct, rounded styling and an available 3.3L V6, further separating itself from its sedan counterpart.
Today, the Solara's appeal is its unique combination of early-2000s style, open-top fun, and legendary Toyota reliability. It's an accessible entry into modern classic ownership. While most examples have been used as daily transportation, collectors are now seeking out low-mileage, well-maintained cars. The V6 manual coupes and top-trim V6 convertibles are the most desirable, with pristine examples showing significant market separation from average drivers.
Buying Tips
- The 1MZ-FE 3.0L V6 (1999-2003) can be susceptible to oil sludge if oil changes were neglected. Ask for service records.
- On convertibles, operate the top several times to check for slow or jerky hydraulic motion. Inspect the fabric for tears and the rear window seal for leaks.
- All V6 engines use a timing belt that requires replacement every 90,000 miles. This is a costly service, so verify it has been completed.
- The 2.4L 4-cylinder engine (2AZ-FE) used from 2002-2008 can suffer from excessive oil consumption. Check for signs of blue smoke from the exhaust.
