Camry in coupe sir.

A solara is a Camry. if you want to buy a coupe or convertible Camry, it would be called Solara. The solara shares platform and part with Camry the difference is the design to make it more sportier since that is what coupe and convertible are known for.

A coupe is a 2 door hardtop or soft top vehicle.

A convertible is a 2 door hardtop or soft top vehicle with the ability to retract it's roof leading to an open roof.

Thank you for your response.

However, I Will appreciate if you can assist some maintenance tips and common faults. Also ,is it suitable for someone like me who's driving and buying a car for the first time. I have heard people saying there are particular products suitable for first experience. They suggest corolla but the dashboard is not appealing to me.

if you are comfortable with a coupe or convertible then this car is good for a 1st timer, not a robber magnet, I can't categorically say it's a chic magnet either but you won't have much trouble with the vehicle.

The year you are looking at has 2az for the 4 cylinder though it is from Canada I am not too sure if it experience the oil burn known for camry

Oh yeah!!!! I bought my second solara early this year and it's been great! ((Fully pimped to my taste wink ..used the 2002 years back and it didn't disappoint.
.
.
.
.
I use it as my second car though...it's a 2005 model.extremely rugged and leg spacious.

For a first timer (depends on what you need it for me)
I usually would not advice anyone with kids to drive only a one door vehicle...(in case of emergency) but if you are a lone wolf or just a spouse...it good to go.
.
.
.
Have a reliable mechanic check it out for you...
( preferably with a machine...you will spend a little box but save yourself the big box on the long run wink Please contact the gurus here on nairaland to help you with Vin check also.

.
.
What more can I say? Welcome to the solara family. Hugs.lol .
