Piranha Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 there is someone in the drivers seat driving. u can see his jeans
piggyncsu Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 i couldn't see a leg.....but the car was on? also, what years had the ES 300 label on the top right back end? i see some with it up and some with it down.. and i don't know that much bout these cars yet :( but i wanna know!
blake918 Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 Piggy, 92-94 had "ES300" on the lower part of the right tail light and 95&96 had it on the rightside of the trunk. I'm guessing that the car was in a rear collision or had work done on it, and the iddiots at the body shop put the worng tail lights in. I'm guessing this becuse it has a 95 or 96(or just 96?) engine cover, has the marked(lined) head lights, and square fog lights."Branded title history?"
squarehat Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 I'm guessing the tails were replaced, too. However, the car seems to be lacking many of the Coach Edition features, e.g. the dish wheels, black pearl badges, the wood plates around the window controls, can't tell if it has the perfed leather (heck, my car isn't a C.E. but do I have the C.E. perfed seats that I picked up at a salvage yard --$152 for the whole set!)
piggyncsu Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 what's coach edition? could i take out MY tail lights and replace em with the 95-96 lights so i could remove the ES300 label??? how much DO 96 es300's go for???
piggyncsu Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 also, the leather seats look like mine....not perforated... and where is that coach edition label supposed to be located? i see it in that one photo, but i looked at every other one and couldn't see it at all.....not even a blurred image of it.... and what are dish wheels?
MamasLex Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 And what's a branded title?? I've never heard of that.
Lex3486 Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 Wow! This car's really messed up! I think the rear end's been hit and replaced with that of a 92-94. Plus, look at the muffler and tell me if it looks new or aftermarket to anyone else. Also the interior definitely doesn't look like Coach; but I love that black/tan! I want to do that to mine so bad! It looks badass!
SW03ES Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 I'm gonna say when the guy had the repair done, he picked up a couple of coach bdages...
piggyncsu Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 i want to say my muffler looks like that... ? i want to see the vehicle report for that darn car..not that i want to pay for it ;)....if it was free however... also, the guy keeps restating things int he description, i dunno..there's just something about that entire thing that i don't like.
SW03ES Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 he does say it has a branded title, which means it was in a wreck. I'll see if I can scare up a free Carfax.
amf1932 Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 This is a bogus car....I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole!!! :chairshot:
piggyncsu Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 40 foot pole :) but im sure some sucker is going to buy it :(
SKperformance Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 branded means the car has been offically "branded" by an insurance company with the dmv for being a total loss repair,being sold at an auction usually for parts at a wrecker deep dish rims are rims that have a large lip area that look inset for the face from the edge of the rims 94-95 and 96 had the same engine bay as tey have the same engine if you replaced the rear lights with 95-96 lights it would then lose the es 300 badge and also the rear light bulb blown dash light would stay lit as it now would be using less power from the 2 missing upper tail lights
NeiLtYmE Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 YUK.... front lights are 95-96 .... rear... 92-94 ... no coach rims.... no coach leather... no wood trimming... yet coach badge... what's this dude thinkin.... nasty ol two tone nonetheless
SW03ES Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 They're all two tone ;) I did run a Carfax on it, and it says its clean. The interior is interesting, the tan on black. never seen anything like it on an ES before...
SKperformance Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 my friend has a black with tan int on his 96 so it is a factory match
SW03ES Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 I believe even the coach ones were two toned. Meaning the tan lower side on yours must have been painted by somebody else. No Lexus came from the factory one tone until 1998 on the GS. First one tone ES was the 02-03. Not surprising that a previous owner of yours repainted it, its a pretty common mod.
NeiLtYmE Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 but dhe car was a preowned..... i dont think that woulda happened.... and are you sure about the that ... cause im pretty sure ive seen plenty of solid color one tone es's ....
SW03ES Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 I'm pretty sure. Trying to find out for sure now, but I'm 95% sure.
SKperformance Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 umm has anyone ever seen a black interior with ivory( they look nothign like my friends tan ones, those are more white) looking seats? i also thought there was a different stiching style for the leather on the coach , meaning that the pieces of leather were shaped different and what about 2 tone door panels coloured like that? i love them but have never seen them also the badge cannot be seen on any pic from the outside only a close up one? notice the interior carpet peeling back from around the bottom of the radio also and i thought only camry's has the small little cover on them while the lexus one was full length of the engine just my odditieds of the car
