Past Lexus Owner Considering A 99 Es300 W/ 125k Miles

Hi folks,

My first time posting here - what a great forum!

Little bit about me - I had a 1996 ES300 I leased new and that car had 0 problem in 3 yrs of driving. Since 99 I owned several German cars and right now I have a 2003 Honda S2000 roadster. I want to get a used, cheap & reliable 4 door auto commuter and found a 99 ES300 with 125k miles. Car is in a great shape.

How do these cars do in general past 120k miles? What are the most common problem areas? Is rust a known problem? ( I'm in Ann Arbor MI) How about the transmission?

How easily can I get parts online or otherwise? Since the car is way out of warranty I don't think I'll go to the dealer for anything. Plus I enjoy turning my own wrenches once a while.

Also, what is a realistic tradein value for this car in today's market?

Thanks for any help!
