I bought a 1992 ES 250 in March of 2005 with 97,213 miles on it. In July my son borrowed my car to go to a golf tournament. He fell asleep with cruise on. (80 in texas) He ended up inbetween the interstate lanes approaching an underpass. He jumped the car from the top of the underpass across two lanes of traffic below and into the concret upslope on the other side. He walks away with airbag burns and a !Removed! nose. The tow truck guy says he sees more people walk away from Toyota/Lexus accidents than any other brand. I went out and bought the 1991 ES 250 that I drive today. I bought my daugher a new Camry. I am looking for an LS for my wife. I bought my son a bike!

I have a 1991 es 250. I need to replace the passenger taillight lense. I cannot find anything in the "Lexus Repair Manual".

Am I just missing it?

Do I need a different manual?

Thanks, in advance, for your posts. I appreciate the help.

So guys this is a old thread but i had my car for about 3 months or so now its a 1995 Lexus ES300 and at first i didnt do much besides taking out my air filter because the car sounds so much meaner without it but i know it isnt good. My latest mod was done 2 days ago i put my headlights in my OVEN, yup i baked them, the finished product was alot better then i had expected....

stock..

Part removed...

what it looks like now...

after baking my headlights and seeing how much better it looked i decided to give my taillights a shot in the oven and boy was i impressed they look great.. sorry i havent gotten any pictures of those on my computer yet but ill get some of them soon, i just did them yesterday.

let me know what you guys think of my headlights and then my tail lights once i get some pictures up!!

I'll bite.

What do you mean by baking?

Can you give directions?

What purpose does it serve?

Is there a cabin/ac filter in the es 250??

I have had this experience before in an es 250. First it was a sensor in or near the distributor. Plastic case just gave way. My car would crank but would not start. Second time it was the wire from the distributor to the coil (located right next the battery) that corroded and came apart.

I have read many places about the 92-94 es 300's overheating. What I have yet to find is if there is any common problem that is the root cause. Why do they overheat?

I have a 1991 ES 250. Just drove it 600 miles over the weekend. Texas speed limit is 80. Got 24-26 mpg. Never get less than 22, never more than 27.

I have a 1991 ES 250 that I love. Was going to be my son's college car. He was out grown the car. I need to find an ES 300 for him. What year should I buy? What are the common problems with the different years?
