Greetings,
I found these forums useful in my purchase of a 1998 ES300. It has 93K on it. The car is immaculate, totally loaded, never smoked in. The 1 Owner was seemed to be a mature adult who took care of this vehicle. CARFAX on this vehicle was clean, and showed dealer rountine service
It had, now I am assuming most of its 90K tune up, from what paper work I have seen, Timing Belt, Rotors shaved, new pads, tires, has had nothing but synthetic oil for the past 5 years.
I read that I need to clean the throttle body along with possibly changing the O2 sensor infront of the catalytic converter.
Also is there anyway to see if the car has an extended warranty on it or some service that still is under warrenty to get done. The only recall for this model that I can find is the tightning of the steering wheel nut.
I am thinking of doing the plugs, wires, raditor and transmission flush just to be on the safe side. I have read that Amsoil is good for these types of vehicle?
Otherwise for the past 15 years I have used Castrol 10w30 ro Castrol Syntec 5w20 (will use correct weight in this vehicle)
Now I live in Baton Rouge Louisiana, and bought from the owner in North Alabama since alot of vehicles in Louisiana were flood damaged, even new ones during Hurricance Katrina. I shopped for a vehicle for 2 months before coming across this beauty.
Any tips tricks or suggestions will be apprciated. I am going to deboss the Lexus tag on the back and removed the moon roof gaurd, tint windows 20% F/R/B
I read the stock stereo is good but I would like to add a little extra bass. Should I take this to a reputable import car audio shop for the installation of a amp and subwoofer.. I really dont want to mess with the stock radio, I can change the stock speakers DIY..
