Lexus = sexuL

The 6CD magazine-thing was missing when I bought my ES - am I stuck buying one ONLY from the dealer? How much should I expect to pay?

Thanks guys!

Surely it's been asked before, but which grade of gas is most recommended?

Some friends say to fill up once a month with the high octane stuff, and use mid-grade the rest of the month.

Others say mid-grade all the time is sufficient.

Re: Cocoa butter. Off to Walmart I go! Great tip. Thanks guys. :)

oops - sorry!

Recently sold my 92 ES with 145K.... !!

I bought my 92 ES with 120K and drove it up to 145K until recently selling it. For a car that age, it still drove very well. The main things I needed to have done while I had it was replacing the radiator, having the tranny flushed, new set of tires, and buying a new battery. The A/C continued to be ice cold up until we said goodbye (very important here in So Cal).

My needle lights did burn out, power windows slowed down quite a bit, emergency brake gave out, ABS light was on constantly for no apparent reason, but it was still a great car up until the "end".

No regrets whatsoever. :)

Hi guys

I want to upgrade the headlights on my car, however when I did this with my 92 ES300 they barely lasted 2 months before they burned out. (Thanks, Pep Boys)

I need a good recommendation on which types of bulbs to buy that will last. I want the "hyper white" lights that have the "bluish" tint to them. I hope that made sense.

Also, will these bulbs affect the dash needles at all?

Thanks!!

Yep! When I bought my 92 ES300 in 1999, I had the brakes serviced. When I went to drive off, the ABS light was on. I asked the mechanic what was up and he told me it was a sensor - that nothing was wrong with the brakes.

I drove with that durn ABS light constantly on for 3 years, until I finally sold the car.
