Good used car ($'s for repair)
I bought this car with 181,000 miles for $3,000 from an Ebay auction. I've invested another $2,000 into mechanical repairs (pwr steer, fuel sys., brakes, fluids, instrument cluster, tune up, various lights and cd cart). I thought I was getting a deal when I bought this car but the repair costs have made me reconsider whether this was a good purchase at all. The exterior/interior have been maintained very well. The paint looks very good for the age. The car has an exceptional ride and delivers alot of performance for a car with this mileage and age. Cons are the high price for repair and the customer service at the dealership is very poor.
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...

Nice
I really love this car, I wish it only had more things to make it a faster car aftermarket wise. But thats what you get when you buy a 4 door luxury car. The only reason I want to ell it is because I need a 2 door sports car, end of story. but if thast not your boat, this is. Quick V6 and gentle trany.
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!
