#42 of 286 Researching The Solara SE Sport V6/SLE V6 (AUTO) by cards28 Apr 08, 2004 (1:43 pm)
What info can anyone give me on this car before buying? Pros and Cons, things like that.   I'm new to this site, so I'll go back and read some of the previous posts.   Thanks.....

Anyone bought a solara convertible SE in the midatlantic region recently? How far below MSRP would be reasonable?
#44 of 286 My 2 cents by cooldad24 Apr 13, 2004 (12:06 pm)
1. For elder, 4 door is better. Minivan even better due to the hieght and they don't nned to drop in or lift up. In most minivan, they just slide in and out. For Solara, it's quite roomy at back (maybe an inch short of leg room and fraction of hip and shoulder room) but entry and exit need some effort as all coulp. The door is longer than the 4 door so tight spot will cause some issue as you concern. You'd better check it out during test drive. Go visit your dealer after making a check list. It's the only way to verify your concern and it's free.   2. Accord is a very good alternative choice if not for its ugly exterior especially the rear, to me and many of my friends. If you are OK with that or different option, you may compare both by test drive one after the other.   3. XM radio is dealer installed option on all Solara.   4. If you can get a Passat V6 with similar standard option 26k and you like germany car, go buy it since it's a good deal. As I remember, GLX is the lowest trim on V6 line. So it might be more if options added.

I am surprized by the lack of response here. Compare this to the number of posts of say Honda Accord (which is the same car for the past one and a half year and sales near invoioce price), it is amazing.... No wonder Toyota is slow to update their website about everything.

Well, there have been very few converts to hit the dealer lots so far, so not a very big sample. From what I can tell (having been trying to see one this week), they sell quick. Had 2 dealers sell their only one just before I arrived, but at least the guy taking delivery last night looked happy!   Anyway, what I meant to say is, don't expect to get one below MSRP (or very little at best) anytime in the near future, especially now that convertible weather is breaking out all over.   Wait until December in the midwest if you want a bargain. Or some competition, which probably isn't coming anytime soon.
#47 of 286 colors? by stickguy Apr 16, 2004 (5:19 am)
anyone notice that the convertible has a very limited color selection, or did the salesman make a mistake? I was told that the convert comes in about half the colors of the coupe, only Red, White, Black and lunar mist (aka silver).   I liked the 2 blues, and the green wasn't bad. Since I won't get black or white, and don't want another bright red car, that leaves one option. It looks OK in silver, but isn't what I would pick given a choice.

Those seem to be the colors in the marketplace right now, but all of the colors will be available once production fully ramps up. You are exactly right, because of relatively low production- for example, according to last weeks production figures (Automotive News) Chrysler built about 1100 Sebring convertibles, Toyota built about 200 Solara convertibles (assuming they are building a full 25% of coupe production). As i have mentioned before, why wait till December to save $500? In reeality, there is just over $2k of real money in the car, so a "deep discount" is a dream.
#49 of 286 Deals & where to buy in mid-Atlantic by ccinnova Apr 26, 2004 (5:48 pm)
I'm looking for a Solara Convertible in the DC area (or 6-7 hour drive from DC). Any suggestions on dealerships and what price to expect.   Seems dealers in this area don't have the inventory and want to require you take options whether you want them or not. Is this normal?   Help! I'm new to this. Thanks. Replies to this message: ccinnova (Apr 27, 2004 7:29 pm)

Yes, it is normal for dealers (or at least common, not all dealers do it) to add options/crap (depending on your perspective) to hot, low supply cars. It's just a way to make a killing on a few units, to make up for all the invoice deals on the models that don't move well.   The general thinking is, if you don't buy it, someone else will, so unless the supply catches up to the demand, that's the way it will be (especially with nice 75 degree spring days coming).
