Purchased a white 1998 ES300 on 9/28/09 for $4200. It's in pretty good condition for its age. Some paint chips here and there. Valve cover gasket is leaking (both front and back). AC belt squeals like a banshee when cold. ATF fluid is funky. Timing belt has no known history. Torque rod rubber is cracked and front engine mount is weak. CD player has an ERROR 1 if you try to play a CD. Other than that, nice ride. Primarily wife's car and she likes it.
