Excellent Lexus
When my dad had bought this car, he had got it custoed ordered. Instead of a 2- tone body he got a one tone. The color was burgandy. We got it fully loaded with all the options. Later on in 97' when the new ES came out we decided to give the car a face lift. So we went ahead and changed the old OEM wheels to the 1997 LEXUS ES300 wheels. MY dad has given the car to me and i love it. The paint looks new and the car drives smoothly. I say I have one rare car. Plus I have black interior :). And a 131,000 miles is nothin for this car.
Luxury & Reliability all in one!!
I've been driving my ES 300 for almost 4 yrs without any problems. At the time I purchased one, I was a single mom who wanted a car to depend on. Not only was the price right but the extended warranty and excellent service that I recieve from the Lexus dealer is unsurppased.The ride is sporty with a high end car feel. The interior is the same. When you drive this you sure are a head turner. This model also offers superior craftsmanship the has definitly decreased with new models of cars that are coming out. Even as the car ages, their are no mechanical problems that one might expect with a 10 year old car. One regular maintance is required.

A Classic Beauty
We bought this pearl white Lexus new and have had very little repair necessary, and even that was just recently after over 85,000. My wife is the primary driver and she loves the car. We have ordered a new MB E-class, but it was all I could do to get her to agree to a change. Unfortunately, we feel they have ruined the ES300 with this year's design changes - otherwise, we would have bought another one.
Lexus Quality?
I purchased this car because of the Lexus reputation for quality. In the year I have owned it: - I had water in the headlight due to a bad seal - The power antenna stopped working. - The hood doesn't stay open. - The side window just dropped into the door one rainy day. - I have an idiot light that flickers on and off. Nitpick - You can't fit an aftermarket stereo in it without cheesy looking adapters. The factory CD player is $1500. Please. It's cheaper to manufacture a CD player; put the better, cheaper solution in EVERY car. Certainly no major problems, but enough little things to question the Lexus reputation...
Great Little Car
We bought this car in July of 1993 and it has proven a fantastic performer ever since. One hiccup came in '97 when we had to replace the engine. Thankfully, it was still under warranty! Overall, very mechanically sound as well as very fun to drive. Great car!
