  1. OK, so I've searched the web to the best of my abilities and have come up short. It's a rare thing for me, but I'm hoping someone here can help me. What I'm trying to find is clear side markers for my 2003 ES300 like the ones in the picture below. If anyone has any ideas where I might find them PLEASE let me know. It'd be much appreciated. Thanks to anyone who tries.
  2. I'd just be happy knowing what the specs are on it... size, ohms, etc. I can't find any info on it... much to my chagrin.
  3. My car is quiet as expected. No noticeable noise.
  4. My Purchase Experience I spent all day looking at cars. Initially, I had my heart set on a 2004 Acura TL and was shopping for a car around the $15k price range. Typically, only high milage '04 TLs go for that price, so there wasn't much to choose from. However, I didn't want to stick to ONLY the TL if another luxury car was available for the price. Around noon, I took my wife to lunch and dropped her off at a day spa. I continued to shop, stopping this time, at the luxury dealerships. I hit the Lexus dealership, Jag, Audi, Acura, etc. I did not get any service at any of the dealerships, but I was actually interested in many of the vehicles. So feeling a little like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman (with the exception that I'm a big tall guy and she's pretty petite girl), I left. Granted it could have been for any number of reasons, it just stinks to be serious about purchasing a vehicle and not be able to get anyone to approach you. ON A CAR LOT! Anyway, I made a final stop at the Mercedes/BMW dealership. I looked briefly at cars, but nothing really struck my interest. All the cars on their lot were either too expensive or SUVs. Considering I drove a pickup, I wasn't about to continue down that MPG path! As I was just getting ready to leave, I noticed this beautiful black ES with a decent price on it. The salesman approached me and let me have the car for the afternoon. After a thorough review, I was in love with it. After haggling the price with him over a few days, I went down to the dealership (it's about a 1.5 hour drive from my house to the dealership) and I did all the paperwork. My wife and I managed to get another $1000 out of the deal and settled on a loan that actually comes in w/ a monthly payment less than my wife's '05 Grand Caravan. I traded in my truck and drove home in my new baby... my ES 300. Being a family guy, I'm glad I moved from a truck to a car. Getting the kids in and out is much easier and I pay more than half as much on gas than I did. Coming from a manufacturing engineering background, I can not only tell you that Lexus (Toyota) is a solid manufacturer, but it's also the creator of some of the best practices in all of business. I'm a very proud Lexus owner. P.S. With respect to purchasing a car, I'd highly suggest driving the car for a length of time. Also, if the car is located close to home, take it to a mechanic you trust for an inspection. It's nice to have the dealership's word in case a car is a lemon, but it's much easier to figure that out before you've made the purchase.
  5. I just purchased a 2003 ES 300 w/ 58,000+ miles on it for $18,995. 2 Owners Car condition was immaculate Looking around here, I feel like I paid too much... but the Edmunds true market value for it was $22,500
