Market Highlights
- The Sub-$2,000 Survivalist: In the 2026 used car market, a running and driving Toyota for under $2,000 is an extreme rarity. While newer vehicles face high tech-repair costs, these early 2000s Toyotas remain the 'gold standard' for budget-conscious commuters looking for simple reliability.
- The Smog Advantage: Purchasing a vehicle in California that has passed smog on the day of the listing is a significant value-add. This removes the immediate risk of expensive emissions repairs, making this car much more liquid than similar listings without a recent certification.
- Solara V6 Desirability: The Solara offers a more stylish coupe profile compared to the standard Camry while sharing the same robust mechanical underpinnings. The V6 engine provides a smoother driving experience and better highway performance than the 4-cylinder base models of this era.
