It would help if you were a little more specific. What year, what model, hard top or convertible? My 2004 (gen II) Solara Convertible SLE weighs 3615 pounds wet. The hardtop is a couple of hundred pounds less. Obviously the Solara is no lightweight. Cheers

In upstate NY it's about $500-600.
Cost for the belt is typically $45 (give or take). If you search online you can frequently find them on sale. This site is currently (2/13/09) offering them for about $30: http://www.drivewire.com/products/toyota-solara/timing-belt/8135/ Cheers

The dealer quotes $1700 for the whole assembly. A non Toyota shop can generally weld a new one in for $200 or less
About $450-600 only for struts maybe even more plus labor and tax.
The cost to replace the driver's side mirror on a 1999 Toyota Solara typically ranges from $100 to $300, depending on whether you choose an aftermarket or OEM (original equipment manufacturer) part. Labor costs can add another $50 to $100 if you have it installed by a professional. If you opt for a DIY replacement, you may only need to pay for the mirror itself.
Removing the battery would pretty much do the trick without damage to the car.
