fast99 Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Hello,I am a new owner of a 1997 Lexus ES 300 with 92K on it.

I also want to know from those with high mileage what did u do as far as service, and fluids(synthetic,regular oil) I want to know as much as possible about this car and I apprecciate your help and input. JT Hello Fellow Lexus Lovers, I just traded in my 1995 emerald ES300 with 165,000 miles on it. Yes, it still drives like a new car. It has perfect interior, and paint. Alloys, too. I know there are ES's with more milage, but that's my story !
ford212.809 Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 My '98 rolled over 194,000 this morning. To date, except for routine maintenance, 100% trouble free service for me.
mmhdfw Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 221,000 miles on a 1995 ES300 purchased in 1997 (with 40K on it). It has served me well. Time for a replacement.
bibb66 Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 I have a 98 ES300 with 250,000 Km. Just replaced the timing belt for a second time, no wear but it was stretched, looks like the O2 things are going, runs great and better than our new van. I am hoping to get 400, 000km out of it.
Lexlogic Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 just hit 76k today on my 93..I've put 10,000 on it in 6 months Not bad! Just hit 72170 miles had to replace 4 tires 205 60 R16 91V rating (Hankook H148) Installed and balance out the door (Total cost 325.00) 2000 ES300
TomWoodLexus Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 120K and needs tranny work. A 1994 ES300 came in the shop 2 weeks ago, it had 550K miles on it and came in with a coolant leak. Everything under the car was soaked, everything under the hood was soaked. I could not pinpoint the leak because EVERYTHING gave way. The head gaskets, the water pump seals (both the pump and the bearing, close to smoking the bearings) and when I drained the oil, it was half & half. I could only do one thing... upsold a new LS 460. Mostly the saleman who did the upsell though.
clarkb Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 1995 ES 300, 197,000. Noproblems, but I have taken care of it.
fpny Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 1997 ES300, 145650 miles. Just got the timing belt and water pump replaced at 145309. The struts and mounts need to be change soon. Otherwise just the normal wear and tear parts replacement.
medinajim2000 Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 I just bought a 1994 with 158,000 on it. So far, it seems to be doing just fine. Our 1999 Landcruiser has 180,000 miles on with no problems. I have officially been converted to the Lexus/Toyota brands.
bmack Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 My has 205K, looks fair, right? B) Just put chrome 16 from 96 SC400. Some pictures after and before Really clean. Nice.
Lexusfreak Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Mine will have only about 68,000 Km's (42,000 miles) when I pick it up Saturday. B)
zockslexus Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 96 es ...gold package....216,xxx and counting
BrentyRT Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Hi All, My first post in this forum. I have a pearl white 1993 Lexus Es300 with 208,450miles and still rolling!
rubykey Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I have a 94 es 300 with 171,000 miles. Purchased five years ago at 119,000 with all the records. This has been mostly a trouble free car. Always starts and runs smooth. Replaced brakes, battery. timing belt, front axles, one oxygen sensor, wheel cover (wheelskins -- looks okay) and all four tires. I had a tune up last year. It is so quiet and drives like a dream. MPG only arond 20 and I freeway a lot. No special oil when changed. The interior, on the other hand is getting shoddy. Leather cracked (yes i put conditioner on it), front seat has a tear now, buttons on the driver door panel fell down so the console is now taped to the frame with plastic loops, oh and the faux wood trim is so faux and fading, and the cup holder needs to be pulled out by hand. The interior was somewhat worn when purchased from a single mom with baby twins. I was pondering a newer (but still used) car with a little more flash, but this one has been super reliable. Now I'm pondering a redo of the drivers seat and new car mats. I heard that after 200,000 the trouble begins. Is that so????
camlex Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 Marcon, that's very good, which year? I have 299,820, and going to finish 300,000 today. Thanks,
busoptr Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 My 1994 es300 has 229,000 miles on it and still rolling, new timing belt, water pump, battery and some sensor that has something to do with the idle.
JeffB Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Just purchased a 98 ES300 with 173,000. Had it checked out by a mechanic and the engine is great, has new brakes and struts. I'm getting the fluids changed today. I think I got a good deal at $4,900.00

JT Hi JT,........Well to answer your question my wife's 1996 ES300 has 285,000 miles on it with NO MAJOR repairs at all. Tires, brakes and oil changes is all it's cost us. I also put in Lucus injector cleaner once a month and change oil (regular Penzoil) every 3000 miles. Hope you have asmuch good luck. :)
camlex Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 Hello, 303,353 finished fushing power steering fluid. I love this car.
