FS: 2002 Solara SE 4cyl Auto 181K Mi -- Long Island, NY
Folks -
It's time to let her go. She served me well. However, I am in need of a four door car which I am purchasing soon.
2002 Solara SE, 4cyl Auto
Color: Blue
Accident Free
181,000 Glorious Miles
Recent Tires - 5,000 miles ago
Recent Brakes
Location(s): Long Island, NY and Queens, NY
I am the 2nd owner. I purchased her at 90K miles in 2006.
The Car's body is straight, no issues. Wear and tear commensurate with a car that's been around the block.
Very dark tints on side and rear windows. I bought it that way (not in compliance with NY law - in the 5-6 years of ownership, I have been pulled over twice and ticketed only once).
Mechanical Faults:
[*]CEL is On: "Evaporative System Leak - Very Small" --- I am at wit's end trying to fix this, so I have given up. I have a trick when it comes time to get it inspected (Reset CEL codes, keep tank above 75% capacity for 100 miles - won't set because it doesn't do the evap test unless it's below 75%).
[*]There is a tooting noise once it warms up. I took it to a couple mechanics, however, the car decides to shut up when it gets there and they haven't been able to find anything.
Non-Mechanical Faults: The SRS is on. I'm at wit's end trying to fix that too (I don't have the right scanner).
Other than this, the car is a good daily driver. Would make a good college car. It has been very reliable requiring very minimal maintenance -- Gas and Go.
It is burning about 1 Qt of Oil every 1,000 Miles. I have changed the oil every 4-5,000 miles.
Will post pics soon.
$2,200 OBO.
