Dealer has the car, I'll ask him today. Jim

Yeh, thats what I figure,probably a lease. I wonder if its' permenantly damaged or not? I had to change by '99 ES300 into a pickup for my business. I really miss that car. I found out after taking it to the dealer for service, the first time, that it had a new replacement engine. The orginal one had damage from poor service. Thats what scares me about this car. Jim

Looked at a beautiful '03 ES300 yesterday. Black with black leather all options nav system etc. The interior shows little use but the engine appears not to have been serviced regularly. The oil dip stick shows oil lacquer and there is crude under the oil fill cap. There is no valve noise and the car is smooth,quiet and powerful. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether I should walk away from this car or buy it and change the oil frequently for a few month to clean it up. The price is right and I miss my old '99 ES300 and would like to buy this car. Thanks Jim from Jersey
