I’m calling this a mechanic special because it needs something or maybe multiple things. I’ll explain below.
Blue 2007 Solara 2-door SE convertible, 6 cyl 3.3 engine, 126k miles
I love this car and I’ve taken very good care of it.
Price includes an Excellent stereo with upgraded tweeters, midrange and subwoofer – plus separate amplifier and Bit 10 sound processor. I spent $1600 on this 7 years ago. The original speakers are also included. You should be able to sell the electronics and speakers for $900-$1000 if you don’t want great sound.
Body isn’t perfect, but not bad – still shiny.
Fabric seats don’t get hot in the sun.
Transmission shifts smoothly.
Oil changes every 3-4k miles with quality synthetic, oil filter, air filter
Made timely repairs including:
CV Axle, tie rod
Valve cover gasket, new Denso coils, NGK plugs, PCV
Had throttle body and injectors cleaned
Changed 2 of 4 Oxygen sensors
Now, lately while the car does idle smoothly and runs great with excellent acceleration, it sometimes starts running rough and threatens to stall or does stall. Intermittent. I’m not a mechanic, but while it could be something simple it might not be and several mechanics disagree. It’s not burning much oil or leaking coolant.
Search for this car or similar here on craigslist and you’ll see prices double and triple what I’m asking. This price assumes you’ll make necessary repairs.
This is a popular car and if you can get it running well, it has great resale or if you just want to own it, this is a very reasonable price.
Any questions, I’m happy to reply.
