CVL Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I am currently looking at a couple 1999 ES300's for sale with about 70-80k miles, for around $10,000...very clean nice looking cars. The car will mostly be for highway driving to and from work. My wife and I have a 2005 RX330 with 30,000 miles that we absolutely love. From reviews I have read these cars should have another 100k, at least, left in them. Is this a worth while investment for the asking price, or I am going to end up paying to much in repairs and maintenance in the next 50-70k miles? Any comments and suggestions and comments would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 If possible get service records (engine sludge issue)....the TB & WP are due at 90k as well. All in all.....as well cared for example will give you many years of trouble free service. Good luck & welcome to LOC. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99lexus Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I bought a used 99 ES300 two years ago. My problem is the clinking noise from the front struts. Replace the strut mounts - no more noise. My car reachs 135k now. I still love it. Remember: 100k service at Lexus dealer is very very expensive. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
