We have inherited a 95 ES300 with low mileage (32,000) but I already drive a 98 Toyota Camry LE-V6 which also has very low mileage (38,000). We must sell one car and I can't decide which.
The Lexus has some nice upgrades not on the Camry, but I already spent almost $400 to replace the O2 sensor and a fuel induction service. The Lexus is still only getting so-so mileage and when turning corners in the parking garage I can hear a metallic clanking noise coming from under the front axle area. I am afraid this could be an expensive problem. Plus it needs rear brakes per the repair shop.
The Camry is in need of routine maintenance but has no problems I am aware of. It's not very flashy, but has been a great car.
Any thoughts about the clanking noise or which car I should keep?

We can't sell both cars. If the clanking noise upon tight turns is the CV joints, is this an expensive repair?
Also, would you have the brakes done at the Lexus dealer, or could the Toyota dealer (cheaper) do this? I learned not to have brakes done at the neighbor hood tire store as they put cheap pads on the Toyota and they squeak.
thanks, Kathleen
