Well, I've always been on the prowl for a car. I've been passively looking in cars.com, autotrader.com, craigslist, etc.
I found a nice 2000 Solara SE V6 stick shift 87k miles for $5700. Black on black leather, alloy wheels. The seller is a dealer so I dont know the history of the car. It's in decent shape, I need to get a mechanic to look at it mechanically. It has some chipped paint on the front bumper and a little rust and chipped paint on the door edge where you close it. Nothing a little sanding and touch up paint cant fix.
Anyway, I bought a carfax report for 30 days. If anyone needs help researching a car, lemme know I'll put a carfax for you.
The solara feels smooth but I'm not sure of the clutch. When I step on the clutch from second gear, i get a "catch" jump, like I didn't step on the clutch all the way and it caught something... similar to if you clutch in and the engine isn't the right rpms.
Oh yeah, I wonder if I should buy the car. I dont "need" it, but I'd like it. I have an older 4dr 94 Integra with 123k miles stick shift. Sometimes I feel my "image" is hurt with the older car. And thus my career might not go as far. Then again, the solara isn't a new flashy car either. It's another economical car.
