Just bought mine 2001 es300 , it has 222k miles but it was well taken care of . Feels solid and safe yet still classy . Leather has no rips , paint is still shines and all mechanics 🧰 are up to par . #Blessed . Tesla cars can’t compare

Great video man, you really turned that car around and I love your sense of humor. Looking forward to more videos

I grabbed a 93 es300 with 170k miles for 2300 during covid high prices during tough times. Around 210k now and no problems, such a reliable car and made me a Lexus fan. Thinking about getting a ls430 soon

Proud Lexus owner here! and I can say that nothing beats the quality build and long term performance of my 2005 ES330!!! Amazing

I bought a 1999 for $250.00 with a clean title. I drive it everyday and Love it.

the ol es300 will never let you down! mine is flashing an engine light and the traction control doesn't want to turn back on so I make the best out of it FAT BURNOUTS BRO and trusttttt me she will do fat burnouts

I've got a 2001 version. Silver on black with factory chrome rims. For 1K, you picked up a rock solid cruiser. I love mine, and I think you're going to enjoy yours. Keep it running and on the road!

I picked one up for $1000 also. Mine had 164,850 miles. Colored tan. Yah bulb are HID. Amazon had them $42 for 2 with 3 yr warranty. I put both new cats bank 1 and 2 , all 4 struts , driver front lower control arm driver front cv axle , valve cover both front and rear, all new reman injections, vvt solenoid on bank 1 side , new iridium spark plugs new ignition coils and new map sensors. Oh also 2 new air inlet hoses my speakers sound great and where your 3rd brk light is a sub woofer. Looks great new subscriber. Your rims are the same ones I just picked up 2 days ago. They came off 2013 Camry lol.

Also, the ES300 badge was in the wrong spot. On the 97-99 they are on the metal part of the trunk and on the 2000/2001 they go towards the bottom of the right tail light. In 99 you had the Coach edition, then in 2000 you had the Platinum Series and then in 2001 you had the Coach edition again. I had a 99 Coach and my current 2000 platinum series. Plus 3 more. I love these cars.

That ES is sweet find for a thousand bucks Bro. Regardless of the cosmetic condition, it’s definitely worth the money to bring it back to life.🔥 Good job JJJ.👍

You got some heavy hands man. These ES 300’s are great cars.

Makes me happy watching videos like this. bought my 98 for $1000 as well, and with only 2000 more miles than you did when you got yours. Its got its issues but im prepared.

I bought a 2000 Lexus es300 2 years ago for $1136. Literally everything I had in my pocket with 151000 miles. Insurance totaled it Dec 17 2021. Put full coverage on these people. I got back $4,298.66 after my $500 deductible and insurance sold my car back to me for $687. Im rebuilding the front passenger side rn. Its been a great car and its still and gonna be a better car. Currently has 177146 on it. I had no idea a 21 year old car with the mileage was valued at over $5000 in my Area. Wheeling WV. My insurance is American National. FULL COVERAGE PEOPLE. Great car with great value. Hope this helps.

I bought a 98 es300 and I’ve been waiting for a video like this for months thx dude

bought mine for $2900 back in 2019 but now the market is asking $6k for these in worse condition than mine 😮

Love the car I just purchased mine 3 weeks ago I thank Jesus Christ for it as well very reliable

Great buy for a grand. The opening made me laugh have told a few mates about your channel but always send them a link as I can't remember your channels name XD

Oh man you are lucky. Finding one here in Quebec, Canada is nearly impossible. Been looking everywhere around.

I bought a 98 with 153k on her. Paid 750 🤣😂 put another 500 in the basics. (Original key fob, all light bulbs, stereo with back up camera) you know the essentials. Just did valve cover gaskets, all fluids, put 18s on it. Ready to go. For what I paid it’s an absolute steal. The interior is mint too

You have a lot more mechanical knowledge than most people to help fix the minor electronics, electrical and mechanical issues to have yourself a nice running Lexus for quite some time probably at a great price. Hard to say how many miles you have on the replaced engine though. Would be good to inspect the timing belt. I have the 1999, ES 300 that with regular periodic maintenance has been running great at 180,000 miles. Mine developed the clearcoat fading and bubbling that I restored watching KZfaq just using rattle cans, sand paper and buffer.

I found 97 es300 with 48k miles from old man that was original owner for 3500! Its been great car and super clean

I bought a 98 ES300 with 89,000 for 1500.00. Put 3000.00 into it, did most of the repairs myself and it runs beautiful.

Love your vids keep doing what ur doing

This makes me so happy about my 2001 purchase for 1100 in way better shape but 170k miles

the change bit sent me brooo HAHA

I got a 97 today for 600 bucks...Thing literally runs like a brand new lexus. I flip cars and this one is hard to let go. I cant even pick a good sell number for it.

Nice video dude, I just bought a 98 model today! Same color and everything. My seats and paint were still in mint condition. $2000 well spent!

I just bought a 2004 ES330 for $2K. Super clean, no cracked leather. 164K miles. Put new brakes, rotors, tires, fluid changes, and elbow grease on the paint. Just ordered new headlight assemblies. Lexus plastic on headlights, sucks. Rides and drives like new. Lexus quality!

My 2001 LEXUS ES300 just reached 180k miles and she still runs like a champ she's my daily driver.. and my family car 4 all our road trips evrywere

Got super lucky, picked up a 2002 ES300 for $1,000. My friends were moving to another state and wanted to get rid of it. Only had to fix knock sensors, new brakes and tires. It super smooth and fun to drive

Love these styles. Hard to find nowadays.

Nice video, thanks for sharing!

If you ever run across one of these - good idea to keep them...they are starting to dry up. And they just go forever if maintained. I searched for months before I found my 01 coach edition es300 last year. Anyhow this was a great buy at that price point. Excellent point a to point b transport even in that condition.

I have a coworker that has a clean one like this in silver he gets compliments on it for how good it looks and it drives really well for a 22 year old car

I laughed so hard at the intro great vid and car!

mine has 194k and runs like new. The original owner had the oil changed often. Makes all the difference. One with half the miles but not taken care of would be way worse. Made in Toyotaland, Japan. True quality build.

Be careful with those seat covers. There are airbags in the side bolsters of the front seats. They aren't supposed to be covered.

13:30 that peeling feeling is oddly mesmerizing

Just got my Es300 for $4300 best amount of money I’ve ever spent in my life, at only 120k miles

Yo man I have one too bought it brand new and still problem free... check timing belt,plugs,fuel filter.. and your good

For the seat just go to pick a part

I used MAF cleaner and the CEL light came on. Wipe the cherry filament clean, and it went off.

My G35 uses D2R as well, gonna go morimoto this time, previous was Philips which were about $50

I've had 5 of these cars including my current 00 Platinum Series. I love them. I've never seen one with HID bulbs. I don't think it was a factory option, maybe someone installed an aftermarket hid setup. All of mine have ran standard halogen bulbs. If your low washer fluid light comes on, just tap on the bottom of the tank and it'll go away. I know these cars insanely well.

Just picked up a 99’ with 95,000 miles for 3,700 I don’t think I did too bad with the price. Only thing I needed to do was get new tires and a fog light bulb. Runs perfectly fine.

Good job, just increased the value of the car. At the very least it’s a pleasure to drive a clean completely working car.

I purchased a IMMACULATE 1997 Lexus ES300 Silver (same color) 45k one owner garage kept for $3400 1-19-2021 - Timing belt/water pump/thermostat/radiator was changed 2018 @ 41k. the owner paid $36,991 cash in april 1997. Full Synthetic 5w-30 Mobil1 changed 21+ times. My 25 year old son is so excited, my wife and other sons are jealous.

Hows is it regarding the gas tank. ? Gas Killahs or nah

Seat looks good

I found an amazing deal for an 02 lexus es300 with 120k miles for 4k , will be doing everything with this car

I bought a 2001 IS 300 for 800.00 two yers ago. Had been in a fender bender which I replaced the fender n light through a junkyard.

I miss this car, loved the design, esp the back headlights, mine had Lexus chrome rims, it had like 165k miles when I had to retire it, sold it to the mechanic and I think it was clunked since it was apparently unrepairable, mechanic couldn't fix it, and he brought another mechanic buddy/shop owner to look at it, they couldn't fix it either. It definitely had problems with the O2 sensor, got different O2 sensors, code still persisted, wouldn't go away, they was also saying the catalytic converter was likely busted as well... maybe it would've survived if I took the worn 2000 to a Lexus dealership, but I think the labor, parts and repair would've been pretty expensive, so I didn't bother Sadly, it wouldn't pass smog in California cuz of the CEL, and probably IMO the most strict smog check state in the US, or else I still would've been driving it to this day, but it was definitely old, well-used, showing its age and from my memory, the last car report I looked at years ago, I was like the 6th, 7th, maybe 8th owner or something... what was I thinking... bought it because I thought it would've been reliable, also got it because of the chrome rims... but mine turned into a money pit tbh, the original struts were blown, so the previous owner replaced them with like the cheapest available $50-100 struts, it feel like an earthquake inside while driving on a bumpy road, esp if there were cracks, whole car was shaking side to side, but I just got used to it lmao

I like the two tone color

I bought a 98 ES300 for $300.00.

Only reason I avoided buying a 2001 ES300 was because it had a timing belt instead of chain. Also, owner told me that the car has been sitting around for some time not driven regularly. Tags were from 2019

You should ask the lady how much mileage was on replaced motor when it was installed....

Where you finding these cheap toyotas and lexus' at. These models start at 3 grand in my area from private sellers.

This car is very strong and has few breakdowns. I own one like it

Has the maintaince been very expensive like engine or transmission or just regular also have you taken it on any road trips recently?

Agh just got a 03 for 3k 😁 my biggest complaint is that I was too excited on the test drive to realize it needed a power steering pump.

Bought. My es300 for 500 runs amazing only has 150k miles

My paint on my 99 es300 is a helluva lot worse, love looking at similar weak points between vehicles that are similar.

I bought mine that is a 2003 es 300 that was sitting for 3 years. I got it for $600 then this summer getting a 2007 es350 for $1000 this coming summer

I've got a 1998 ES-300, by far the best car I've ever owned.

I felt every door slam…

I bought a pair of D2R bulbs from eBay for $15. Let's see how long they last.

Not bad at all👍🏽👍🏽

Find me 2008 to 2009 chevy trailblazer or envoy, under $150 miles and 4x4. I leave in Michigan let me know if you could drive it here or ship it lol. Im seriously i owned 2003 trailblazer since 2012 its time to upgrade but all are rusted out here in Michigan

I recently purchased a 2001 Honda Accord lx. I bought it from a family member and they put another motor in the car (used) basically. When I start the car it’s fine. If I drive the car it only gets up to 45mph and it doesn’t have anymore power. It runs raggedy from the cold start but once I start it. But after the engine warms up it runs smooth. The code is air fuel ratio sensor. The guy that put the engine in says it’s the ecm computer could you help me out which I looked online a bad computer has your rpm not goint up mines does. And the car cuts off if I hit the accelerator while it’s in park I can start it right back up and it’s fine.

how's the car running? 1,000 dollars not bad at all, great car for work and stores

I just got that same exact car for my niece for 1000 bucks too. Mine just needs abs wheel sensors and a couple of bulbs are burnt out in the dash etc. How did you fix the cigarette lighter compartment. Hers wont even open

was that a aux cord 😳

I guess they don't clean it out cuz its like a curtesy anywho. Not like you're not gonna take it if its dirty.

I traded my broken down 2001 BMW 330 Ci two door convertible plus paid $1,200 for my newly acquired 2002 Lexus ES 300 and it's a very nice luxurious car fully equipped including a sun/moon roof ❤️

Never use armor all on anything and definitely not on leather. Get leather cleaner and then leather dressing. Never use armor all on anything, it dries out plastic rubber etc and leather is a hide must be treated with leather products period.

nice buy and work on it

Am Looking @ 02 300 for little over $6000,But Mlg.is less than 69,000 & dealer just redid Seal coating on paint,For Free before I buy it ,paint is o.k.

Just bought one for $1,600 with 160miles. Great cars! Rides smooth! Being an older vehicle. I had 2002 lexus es300 with 60 miles but I sold it. Don't know why I did it. 😕

What was the cost break down, and what are going to do with it?

I bought a 99 with 120k miles for $2,900 and it’s given me it’s fair share of problems but man do I love my ES300

I have a 2000 es300 with 291k miles on it

clean the car out?? haha that's part of the buyers experience

I have a 98 I’m trying to do rear struts any advice

Take my money..

Hey, My 2003 Toyota Camry xle radio stereo keeps switching channels automatically. Is there a fix to this? Thank you.

I have a Lexus es300 gray 2 tone. It has a problem that mechanics haven't been able 2 pinpoint. I love my car & idk what 2 do. Does any1 here know how to fix it?

Just wait until you need to replace the knock sensors. Lol when it fails to go into overdrive they need to be replaced. Big job, that requires half the motor to be taken off. Not fun.

Great car . Know 2 people who have such for 300 K miles..

and I bought a 5-speed 1992 Lexus ES300 for $1,800!

Just bought a 98’ for $3400 100k miles

I just bought a 1999 ES300 for $1K. LOL

better question yet how tf do you find cheap cars

Cracking of the leather because it’s a Toyota he says lol. Buddy do you know that newer Mercedes like a c300 you will find most of them have cracked driver seats. Lexus for the leather being so old has held up better!

How did you even meet the retired teacher

How did you clean that center console up??

Wish I had gotten that deal That is a great fun car to drive I want to sell my 06 bmw 3 series and get one of those es 300

i got mine for 750 but it has a bit of body damage

Don't buy old style light bulbs anymore. Get led only. You couldn't got headlight assembly for both and led lights bulbs for $100

Classic Video 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

Do u flip them ?
