1996 es300 327,000. Third owner of since I bought it at 260,000 - April 2008. Just replaced Water pump, seals, and Timing belt (myself) at 315,000. I really haven't put much money into it since I bought it. I bought it for $1200 usd and had to replace the fan (run by the power steering fluid) when I bought it. The tranny started acting up at 290K (I'm sure it is orginal since I know the people who have owned the car since 80K) changed the fluid - problem went away. Tranny acting up again (when below 40F) I going to change the fluid again. I'm on this site because I was looking up problem with a rear tire wearing funning - looks like I need to change some bushings! Looking at taking car to 400K+. Also, I am going to buy same year (1996) es300 car for 1000 with 220K this week!
