Lexus Review

It is great on gas and enough room for family. Reliable and the most its dependability. for the purchase of a quick used car, I knew I could depend on a Lexus, even with the miles it had at the time.

Must see this car to really appreciate.

Car is Beautiful, Runs Great, Excellent Condition Inside & Out. Always Garage kept, this car has been babied. NO ACCIDENTS, the engine is quiet and strong; it has LOTS OF POWER BUT SURPRISINGLY still GREAT ON GAS.

Most reliable car I owned

Its exact what I need and better than all other cars I have driven. Very reliable and very comfortable. Very well designed and does not require much maintenance if you do the routine on time.

Best Car I Ever Owned

I bought my 2003 Lexus when it was 5 years old. Not a thing I did not like! Sadly, after over 145k miles it developed an oil leak that keeps making the 6th cylinder misfire. My mechanic did not recommend fixing the leak due to the cost of the repair and the miles on the engine and the age of the car. So I did replace the 6 cylinder at 126.00 to buy some time to find another car, because sooner or later, it will start to misfire again. As this is my first Lexus, I also now realize what a great deal I got on it. So the bad thing about this car is once you have one, you can never go back. I am not even thinking of looking at another make. I recommend this car to anyone and everyone.

super smooth ride

I looked a long time for the right es300 because they run so well people hold on to them for a long time. I finally found a nice one with only 36500 miles and it runs and rides like a new car!

Benchmark Automible

I am the second owner of my 2003 ES300 which I have owned now for three years. It has always been garaged by myself and first owner as well. The ride is exceptional for a car now thirteen years old. I have no issues with transmission shifting as I have heard other people have had. The engine runs quietly and efficiently. The interior on this generation of the ES is the nicest one Lexus has made to date. For a car with every available option except for the adaptive suspension, the only thing I have had to replace is one valve stem. I also believe the older Lexus vehicles to be built better. You would love one of these.

Excellent Vehicle

Excellent car and very reliable. I have put 100,000 miles on it without any mechanical or electrical issues. The car is very comfortable, quiet, and responsive. My friend has done annual inspections on it since I purchased it in 2003 and cannot believe how well it is holding up.
