Used 1998 Lexus ES 300 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Happy ES300 Owner
I purchased this 1998 ES300 as a certified pre-owned vehicle. My style of driving is easy going and the smoother the ride, the better. Aside from that, I want to feel relaxed, at ease, and confident that my car will be very reliable though out the years. Thus, I'm not interested in an "aggressive" car to deal with Greater D.C. Traffic. The acceleration is responsive, the transmission silky smooth, and the road noise minimal. I describe this car to my colleagues as a "Gentlemans" vehicle. If you are an aggressive driver looking for sport, then consider the IS.

Original Owner
In 2018, I needed to spend some money to fix leaks from my car that were dripping on the garage floor. In 2019, I did not pass my smog test due to lack of communication. To get my car smogged, the smog monitors were not engaging after a reset so they replaced the thermostat and one of the monitors. I also needed a new starter (the 1st time in 20 years) and they recommended something for the idling of the car in the future, an idle control value I believe it was. The car had about 133,000 miles on it, was garage kept and detailed every year or two. It still drove like a dream, but the cost to keep it going was increasing. It was in beautiful shape and I sold it for $2600.

I have found this vehicle to be extremely reliable. I have taken it in for routine maint. checks only. It is still very stylish even though new styles have replaced it. A car one can drive anywhere and be proud.
Black on black beauty!
Great car. It runs very smooth and has useful features like traction control, heated seats and memory seats. I also like the adjustable suspension. In sport mode it can almost hang with a beemer.
