Very reliable luxury and fun

Love my es300 it’s been extremely reliable and even with almost 200,000 miles it still runs so smooth like it’s brand new, I would highly recommend this car or any early 2000s Lexus or Toyota to anyone!

DEVISTATED !! MISTAKE !! DO NOT BUY !!

I am a single mom. I struggle to provide. Was looking for a dependable older car with lower mileage. 145000 was around the milage, 2 owner, fair interior( worn from use, no tear or stain ) , ran good. $ 3200. 3 months later everything goes CRAZY !! I HAVE SPENT ALMOST AS MUCH MONEY ON THIS CAR TO FIX IT THAN I PAID FOR IT !! IT IS STILL NOT FIXED ENOUGH TO EVEN DRIVE !! And it's VERY HARD to even find a shop who is willing to work on it. Unless you take it to Toyota. Now I have NO car a year later. I'm cant put anymore money into it. I am now the proud owner of a useless piece of metal worth around $5400 ; and may I add the scrap metal place will only give me around $ 350 for it depending on exact weight. Wow... Dont buy one is an understatement !!!

Lexus with 66,000 miles for $3,800?

Gratifying Lexus quality with amazingly low mileage. Doctor's wife was the owner from new until 40,000 miles. Sound system is exemplary--includes CD changer. Platinum model with special paint colors. Needs hood struts and left rear tail light.

Expensive looking but reliable and manageable

Bought this car used father drives camrys and get insane mileage out of with few problems . I've driven Mercedes for years and have 500sl that is seasonale . Had e330 that gat stolen and always liked the Ls 400 but really needed more practical fwd vehicle . Found this pearl white es 300 1 owner non smoker and no accidents low miles for age 157k . Has a little more road noise then used too but it's actually turning out to be great car. For the money the year and quality of the build and hopefully the durability of Toyota I will buy another one .

easily could be better

it needs better cupholders and more cushion in the seats the 2 tone paint was a horrible idea. besides that, the car is great. kind of quick for a family sedan cuz it only weighs 3200 which is less then a mustang and it has 210 hp to

Awesome, reliable & strong

We got this car in 2008 as a trade in for our 1991 Lexus LS400 (I believe it was the 2nd year Lexus came out - yes 17 years old!). Now this 2000 ES300 is 19 years old and is going strong! It beat our top of the line Lexus. It isn't as smooth or quiet as the LS400, but this is a much smaller car. It still rides smooth and I've only had to get new tires 2xs, replace the spark plugs, O2 sensor and alternator. Sounds like a lot, but considering it's almost 20 years old, that's nothing! Every mechanic has told me that this car is built solid and have offered to purchase it because I'm only at 108,000 miles & it can go another 200,000. They also say not all Lexuses are built as good, I guess it's like wine, where they have some good years and some not so good. Another mechanic said the car rides like a "Cadillac" which I found funny. Anyway, great car, great stereo system, cold AC. I'll prob hand it down to my daughter in 4 years & just hope our next Lexus is built just as solid.
