I am the proud owner of a 1999 SLE manual transmission ride! I love my car and have owned it for about 2 years. Wouldn't trade it for anything!

Nope, no modifications. I bought the car when I was going into my master's program and then went straight into phd so there is very little time for anything outside of studying. I tried to join this forum when I first bought the car, but I was outed. People assumed I was lying when I told them I had a 99 SLE that was a manual transmission. But I thought I would give it a second chance. My husband is looking at a 2002 solara, cuz we love them so much and we wanted to look for problems in the car. Thus far, I haven' had any major problems with mine other than the 02 sensor and I am pretty sure my struts and strut mounts are going in the back (common problem?) at a mere 61,000k. mainly just here looking for information and possible getting some parts, such as front grille replacement (mines chipped) and new head and tail lights.

I am positive it is an SLE with a manual transmission. The car was ordered from the factory this way and I have gone to two seperate dealers to have the vin ran. It was definently ordered from the factory this way. After being told this the last time I was on this forum I had all of this checked out.....I am positive I know what I am talking about. Sorry to be harsh, this topic is just very frusturating for me!

Welcome! And if the VINs been checked twice, there can't really be much of a question, right?

Not all SLEs have Traction Control though... My SLE doesn't.

The only telltales I can think of are the digital climate and Homelink (3 buttons above the rearview mirror for opening the garage).

Possible

Postby JMSinMaryland » Sun Feb 18, 2007 6:50 pm

Possible someone removed the SE badges and replaced with SLE badges. No possibility of an SLE manual, Toyota never built them that way, EVER. Welcome back, Jon.

I also believe all SLE's came with digital climate control (push buttons) vs dials that you turn (SE's), which does yours have?
