iolmaster Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I currently have a 2000 ES300 and no longer need the sedan. It has been a great car. I currently have 135,000 miles on it and I am thinking about getting a 2002 SC430 that has about 50,000. Do these cars have any quirks that I need to be aware of? Any maintenance issues? Any input will be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first two are very minor. The last was covered under warranty. Other than that, this car has been bullet proof. It runs like a dream.

Car was perfect and has remained that way. Only complaints are the usual seemingly universal ones: Run Flat Tires SUCK!! and the sound system SUCKS!! Hope this helps.

iolmaster Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 My Es 300 has a pretty good sound system. Is this going to be worse in a $60,000.00 car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inicol63 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Thing to look for : Strut brace on the boot x 2 02 sensors and tyres sensors they will show up on engine management laps. Corrision on alloys. Finally SOFT PAINT can get stone chiped easy. Other than that just enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
