Arrow Re: 2000 Solara V6 mileage?

Well, I've owned the car for a few months now and I just can't tell you how much I love it! Being a person who fixes my own vehicles I went through it with a fine tooth comb and found everything to be in good to fantastic shape. The motor purrrrrs and the timing belt was already changed, oil stays fairly clean up to oil change time and all the belts are new as well as the air filter. The body is mint with only a few door dings and a couple small stone chips, the grill still has its chrome finish ( our convertibles grill had the chrome flaking off ). The interior is clean and comfortable.
The only thing I don't really like, the shifter is not as smooth as I would like it to be, it's kinda clunky and I may look into getting an aftermarket one but only if it makes the shifting smoother. I can't believe Toyota made such a cheap feeling gear shift.

Anyway, I feel that found a great reliable car for the next few years and who knows, I may even add a few goodies too

Thanks for the replies everyone and we'll see you on the road!
