2 years ago I purchased a 92 ES300 with 95K, and had the Lexus dealer check the vehicle out. After determining only minor issues, I purchased the car. A mere 30 days (or 3K) later the automatic transmission was shot and need to be replaced costing an additional $3,000. Have since given the car to my dad, and am in the market again.
This time am looking at a 92 ES300 with 120K with a manual transmission. Any advice on the difference between the two transmissions, other than save my money and by a 94 or newer? Lesser issues with the manual I would suspect.
Thanks much!
