What a car!
After having transmission problems on my 1985 Mazda 626 LX, I purchased my 1993 Lexus ES300. Excellent car for the price. had 132k when I bought it. Now has 164k+. Nothing major has needed to be replaced. I burnt out the alternator with a subwoofer, but that was a dumb on my part. Long lasting parts, and a smooth, comfortable ride.
You get what you pay for!
What a vehichle! My car has 101k and it rides and drives like there is half that! I love it, just be sure that you can afford to fix it if something ever goes wrong.

Little problems
We bought this car with 78,000 miles. It now has 100,000. When we got it, there were no problems. Soon afterwards, we had to get a new radiator and front end struts. The hood shock absorbers/hinges don't work, so we have to prop up the hood when repairing. The radio antenna stays up and doesn't retract, the timing belt is worn out and now the front end struts are loose again. Also, some of the instrument cluster lights are burned out. It looks like the previous owner didn't take very good care of the car. If it was taken care of properly, I bet it would be a wonderful car. Also, the engine leaks oil, about 1 quart every 5000 miles.
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.
