Sexus ES300

Recommended Posts

  • 2001 IS 300
  • 195,000 Miles
  • Asking price $5500
  • Black exterior / tan interior
  • New Tires
  • New brakes & Rotors
  • Upgraded suspension system
  • Aluminum radiator
  • Short Ram/Cold air intake
  • New timing belt and water pump
  • Front strut bar & front eibach sway bar

1. Anything in particular I should inspect?

2. If no major issues, what would you offer?

3. Does anyone know what these headlights are? would like to install these once I get the car.

Ok, 2001 had no stick shift option.

Also ECU is not re-programmable, so major issues if you ever don't have a master key.

2004 on had upgraded CD player and smoked rear lights as standard.

2005 no longer had LSD as an option.

I think there is a lot of choice out there if you are willing to go Automatic.

As far as price I really think its dependent on condition.

I will only ask $9500 for my MSN 2004 Manual with LSD 154K and new tires, battery, windshield when i put it up for sale.

That's a lot of miles. If the car isn't a wet-car (snow), and the body of the car has no issues, it maybe worth the $5500 price tag. I'd be concerned about the previous owner. Tuner cars have short lived engines because of mods.

Have a good mechanic check the car out, inside and underneath. Lift the car up and check for leaks and worn spots.

If you're satisfied, start at $4800 and work up.

** the headlights on the 01 are aftermarket. Not particularly a fan of them since they aren't built well.
