SW03ES Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 sk- Yep thats what I was talking about, the two toned tan/black interior. Not the black exterior tan interior match ;) All the evidence I can find shows that the coach was two tones like all the rest of them. Had to be a custom job.

AusJapanLexus Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Ok, I have never seen anything that had a black and tan interior here in Japan.. Mine is all black.. As far as I know, I didnt think that they actually two toned the interior until they redesigned the dash when they released the 97.. (96 in Japan is actually the 97 in US) Mine is an early 96, so thats why it looks like the older model. (New models are always released here mid year.. We get them a year earlier almost I guess... As for replacing your rear lights with newer 95-96 lights, I cant see why not? And as for losing your ES 300 badge. Just try taking it off the rear of your old tailight, and then buy the sticky stuff and replace it on your trunk?? Just a thought? I also saw the guys leg in the picture!!!

amf1932 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 This wiseass has 1 bid on this car......probably from a friend who has zero feedback in his eBay profile. From the past type of auctions that he had it looks like he scours junk yards to get things to sell. Supposedly, he's owned this car for 4 1/2 years. Yeah right! He mentioned that the car had a "Branded Title". Here is description of what a Branded title is: A salvage vehicle is a vehicle damaged by collision, flood, or other occurrence to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair market value; or a vehicle that has been declared a salvage vehicle by an insurer or other state or jurisdiction, but is not precluded from further registration and titling (41-1a-1001). A rebuilt/restored vehicle is a salvage vehicle that has been repaired and restored to operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake918 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 While searching through ebay, I found another one. This one is a '94 with a '95-'96 rear end The guy said that while they were repairing it after one of its accidents the ABS light came on; then states "it's no big deal to fix"...yeah no big deal if you don't mind spending $500 at the dealer and doesn't the ABS light mean the brakes aren't going to perform the anti-locking function-major safety issue? I wonder if it was ever in a rear end collision(unless that was one hell of a side swipe...I don't know about body work, but why would they have to replace the whole rear end for a side swipe?). And I love how he concludes-to this effect: don't let the fact that this car has been in who knows how many accidents, and then it wasn't even repaired properly mechanically or bodily, but she drives o.k.! Go figure all 3 of the bids are from a user w/o feedback . Take a look http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2426250310 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
