Used 1997 Lexus ES 300 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Fantastic Car
I bought my ES300 in 2000 as a "Certified" Lexus with 45,000 miles on it. I just passed 200,000 miles and the car still run as it did when I first got it! I have diligently followed the maintenance schedule and have only had a few surprises - never a break down. This has been the best car that I have ever owned.
Runs like new at 120K
I bought the 97 lexus ES 300 with 120,000 miles on it. I was a little afraid of buying a car with so many miles, but after driving it for a week, I couldn't be happier. Its hard to believe, but the car runs like new. Previous owner garaged it. Today a guy actually asked me if it is a brand new car! It runs extremely smooth. I just came back from a 800 mile trip and it averaged 28.4 miles/gal.
Reliable/Comfortable
Bought 2 years ago with 35k miles. Now has about 50k miles w/o any problems. Ride is smooth, although not spirited. Excellent fit, finish and features for 1997.
BEST car I've ever owned
I love this car, is gorgeous, springs to live whenver you touch the gas, and has the smoothest ride I've ever experienced (compared to Audi, BMW, Merc, etc.). I've NEVER had a problem with it reliability wise.
Lexus Family
Bought this ES 300 about 7 months ago and it has been problem free. It's comfortable, quiet, smooth, powerful and gets decent mpg. I have the suspension control and heated seats. Have the factory chrome rims with white pearl paint, people think its a very expensive and classy car. We really like this car and would recommend to anyone.
