I never like OEM navi units so I opted not to pay $2000 as a dealer option on 2002 Lexus ES300 so I installed Pioneer navi unit. Much better got it bypased and you can watch DVD movies on it plus XM radio and bluetooth option.

pic of install

sorry it would not le me add pictures of install

I just installed Pioneer Avic-D3 in my 2002 ES300 and everything looks factory but the only problem I had is that installer told me that there is NO DIMMER WIRE ON Metra TYTO-01 is that true??? Now when I turn headlights at night my screen still stays bright what to do?????? thank you.

2002 Lexus ES300 19000 miles paid $13000 last year.

I plan on doing an oil change myself and I plan on switching to sythetic for the first time. The car is 2002 Lexus ES with 29K miles. Is it safe to switch on sythetic with that age and miles???? Also I live in Chicago and plan on going with MOBIL EP full sythetic 5W-30. Is 5W-30 good for this type of car????? I will go with OEM oil filter please respond thank you.

Here is the story. My car comes with stock 6CD in dash radio. I just bought factory double din navigation trim and plan on getting Pioneer FH900BT double din navigation. Is this install possible? Do they fit in the dash or do they make kit to properly fit in there??? Do they make harness to isntall it?? I went to audio place and they will let me know if they make harness for it. I so want to do that setup. ANYONE ISTALLED AFTERMARKET NAVIGATION IN THEIR 2002+ ES300?????????? Do you have picture of it???? Thank you.

I will do drain and fill on my 2002 LExus ES what fluid should I use car has 27000 miles. I have 1993 Lexus GS300 and I use T-IV on drain and fill and car has 230 000 miles now should I use T-IV on 2002 Lexus ES300 thank you.

How can we know what goes wrong after 100K miles on ES330 engine when that engine got out in 2004 and probably most of us never got to that mileage so far.

Well I have 1986 Volkswagen JETTA Diesel that has over half a million miles everything original and it is 22 years old every car will last long as long as it is maintained.

No fluid in transmission would not make car not start because starting has nothing to do with transmission. Depends if you are trying to put car in "D" and try to accdelerate it would not move now if you were in driving range motion and no fluid I assume transmission would lock up.

Yes it is low beam in first generation GS (1993-1997). The second generation (1998-2005) did not have projectors :( :( but they are back in third generation 2006- :) :)

Cloth seats basically no options :) 2008 ES350 new http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus-ES-NE...5fCarsQ5fTrucks

I just bought 2002 Lexus ES300 with 26000 miles for 13K. It is one owner grandpa owned services regularly at local lexus dealer and look like new heck it still has plastic on most floors. Did i pay too much for it? Any info and pictures on custom OEM wood dash instal kit

Consumers, please visit our Help Center at www.carfax.com. Dealers or Subscribers, please visit our Help Center at www.carfaxonline.com. Commercial Vehicle was registered for business purposes. First Owner When the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership. Lease When someone leases a car from a dealer, the dealer actually sells the vehicle to a leasing company. The leasing company then collects payments for the vehicle from the new owner for 24, 36, 48 or more months. A leasing company can be an independent car dealer or a car manufacturer. New Owner Reported When a vehicle is sold to a new owner, the Title must be transferred to the new owner(s) at a Department of Motor Vehicles. Ownership History CARFAX defines an owner as an individual or business that possesses and uses a vehicle. Not all title transactions represent changes in ownership. To provide estimated number of owners, CARFAX proprietary technology analyzes all the events in a vehicle history. Estimated ownership is available for vehicles manufactured after 1994 and titled solely in the US including Puerto Rico. Dealers sometimes opt to take ownership of a vehicle and are required to in the following states: Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and South Dakota. Please consider this as you review a vehicle's estimated ownership history. Title Issued A state issues a title to provide a vehicle owner with proof of ownership. Each title has a unique number. Each title or registration record on a CARFAX report does not necessarily indicate a change in ownership. In Canada, a registration and bill of sale are used as proof of ownership. CARFAX DEPENDS ON ITS SOURCES FOR THE ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY OF ITS INFORMATION. THEREFORE, NO RESPONSIBILITY IS ASSUMED BY CARFAX OR ITS AGENTS FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THIS REPORT.

Polk & Co. company. All rights reserved. Patents pending. 06.Nov.2007 16:40:22 Accident Indicator Various events could indicate an accident in a vehicle's history, such as: salvage auction, fire damage, police-reported accident, crash test vehicle, damage disclosure, collision repair facility and automotive recycler records. See the glossary for more information.Airbag Deployment Occurs when the driver, passenger or side airbag has been used or deployed during a crash or other incident. If an airbag has been deployed, it must be replaced by a qualified technician. Have this car inspected by a mechanic prior to purchase.Total Loss An insurance or fleet company declares a vehicle a total loss when a claim exceeds ~ 75% of its pre-damage value or if the vehicle is stolen and not recovered. This damage threshold varies by company. These companies typically take possession and obtain the title. Not all total loss vehicles result in a DMV-reported branded title, like a Salvage or Junk title. See the glossary for more information.Structural / Frame Damage In most cases, a vehicle is inspected for structural or frame damage, depending on the body design, after an accident or other incident. All levels of accidents from minor to severe can cause structural / frame damage and in most cases it can be repaired. Odometer Rollback If a more recent odometer reading is less than an older reading, then the odometer may have been tampered with and "rolled back".Manufacturer Recall Automobile manufacturers issue recall notices to inform owners of car defects that have come to the manufacturer's attention. Recalls also suggest improvements that can be made to improve the safety of a particular vehicle. Most manufacturer recalls can be repaired at no cost to you.Basic Warranty Most manufacturers offer a basic warranty for new vehicles. These warranties vary by manufacturer and typically last for a certain amount of time and/or a set number of miles.Salvage Title A Salvage Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle exceeds ~ 75% of its pre-damage value. This damage threshold may vary by state. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage but the majority use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state. The following ten States also use Salvage titles to identify stolen vehicles - AZ, FL, GA, IL, MD, MN, NJ, NM, NY, OK and OR.Junk Title A Junk Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle exceeds ~ 75% of its pre-damage value. This damage threshold may vary by state. The majority of states use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage.Rebuilt/Reconstructed Title A Rebuilt/Reconstructed vehicle is a salvage vehicle that has been repaired and restored to operation. These vehicles are often severely damaged before they are rebuilt and refurbished parts are typically used during reconstruction. In most states, an inspection of the vehicle is required before the vehicle is allowed to return to the road. Loss Due To Fire Title The vehicle sustained major damage due to fire. In most states, fire damage titles are issued when the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair market value.Flood Damage Title States issue flood titles when a vehicle has been in a flood or has received extensive water damage. Hail Damage Title The vehicle sustained major damage due to hail. In most states, hail damage titles are issued when the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair market value.Manufacturer Buyback or Lemon A DMV or a state agency marks an official document or issues a Manufacturer Buyback/Lemon title when a vehicle has been repurchased by the manufacturer. Not all states issue manufacturer buyback titles and the specific requirements for a lemon law vehicle varies by state.Not Actual Mileage Title When the seller certifies, under the Federal Odometer Act, that the odometer reading does not reflect the vehicle's actual mileage. This may occur because the odometer was tampered with, broken, or replaced.Exceeds Mechanical Limits A vehicle with a 5-digit odometer cannot accurately track mileage after 99,999 miles because the odometer rolls over. This title is the result of a seller certifying under the Federal Odometer Act, that the odometer reading EXCEEDS MECHANICAL LIMITS of the odometer.Standard Equipment Power Windows, Power Steering, Air Conditioning, AM / FM CD, Power Brakes, Power sun / moon roof, Tilt Wheel, 6-digit Odometer Safety Options 4 wheel ABS, Running Lights, Dual air bags front, head, and sides/active (manual) belts with automatic passenger sensor JTHBF30G425033836 2002 LEXUS ES 300 SEDAN 4 DOOR Front wheel drive CARFAX estimated the remaining original manufacturer warranty coverage for this 2002 LEXUS ES 300 (JTHBF30G425033836) using the date this report was generated (06.Nov.2007 16:40:22) and the last odometer reading reported to CARFAX.

The left front brake tube may have been deformed prior to vehicle delivery due to improper installation of a coil spring spacer that was installed to prevent damage to the vehicle during transportation. If the brake tube is deformed significantly, it could contact the inner fender panel, and eventually cause damage to the tube due to vibration during driving. Brake tube damage could also lead to brake fluid leakage after extended use of the vehicle. Dealers will inspect the front brake line and, if necessary, replace the line.

By Sam Moses, NewCarTestDrive.com The 2002 ES 300 is a strong contender in its class, if not the new favorite. And if the old ES 300 was a deserved success, the new one, a much better performing and better looking car for the same price, has got to be considered a winner. Overview: When the Lexus ES 300 first arrived a little more than a decade ago, ES stood for "Executive Sedan," suggesting conservatism. Executives, not to mention sedans, have changed a lot since then. Now we have the all-new 2002 ES 300, with conservative execution but aggressive styling. From venerable to bold, one swift stroke. The careful elegance of this car is going to knock some executives' socks off.

I have a 1993 Lexus GS300 with 218568 miles and it runs and looks mint that just tell you about quality. Also the first generation of Lexuses always look very modern many people think it is like 1999 and I love that pearl white color.

Not sure about how much it is worth but that car will never be the same with that much money in damage.

210809 and still going strong

This is my 1993 Lexus GS300. It has been in my familly since brand new with no problems whatsoever. Only tune ups, tires and brakes. It has been detailed weekly to keep paint look brand new. Any suggestions please let me know and also glad to be member of this great community. It has over 210 000 miles and still going strong :) more pictures :) Thank you guys for all of the replies. Yes the car is bone stock. I do have 17' BBS RK wheels with 225/45/17 pirelli tires that I may put on it but the winter is coming in Chicago so I will wait. Also every time I take car to a Lexus dealer for a oil change they cannot believe it has over 210 000 miles people think still that the car is like year 2000 with 50000 miles because of the style and all of the goddies it has.

It is already at $13000 dollars :chairshot: :o

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus-GS-Le...033892430QQrdZ1 I never saw one in this color car looks stock to me.

I have a 1993 GS 300 with 210 000 miles and when I drive the radio keps turning off and on and car has some kind of power loss when I start him like the battery low but would that turn my radio off/on? I just did change spark plugs, wires, rotor cap and right after that this started happening would that have any connections with tune up I did?

Does the light on the back bumper little side marker have bulbs in it or it is just there for the reflection. Mine do not light up so I was wondering if there is a bulb in the ( it is little side marker light in red color on the rear bumper ) thank you.
