Recently inherited this '08 ES350 with just under 18k on it from my father-in-law who recently passed away. He lived in SF (which is only 7 square miles) so he couldn't really rack up many miles but getting in and out of a tiny, weany garage more suited for '60s Volkswagens took it's toll on the body so the very first order of business was to smooth out the imperfections and re-spray practically the entire car except the hood, front fenders and roof...here's how it looked as of this morning. Next, the wheels come off...literally...having all the curb rash removed then powdercoated a color called titanium-nickel which is darker and richer than the current bright silver which I think clashes with the dark color. Finally, the tint man works his magic then the detailers come on board to polish the inside and engine compartment before the wife takes the keys and finally drives her new steed! Follow along as I'll update this thread...

interested in 97,98 es 300 with over 100,000 miles. what caution areas should I be looking for? timing belt, sensors,etc.? driving es 330 now, looking for second car. Looked at a few for 8900.00 to around 10,000. any tips would be helpful. Timothy

Well, If the car has been maintained properly it should last another 166,000....Fix it :)
