Has that wood grain that all these rappers are singing about LMAO!!!

I've had 5 of these cars. I absolutely love them. They are dead reliable, super comfortable and great driving cars. In 99, they had the Coach edition with the Coach leather and special wheels which were only on the 99 Coach and they never used them again. Then in 2000, they had the Platinum Series which was a one year only. Then in 2001 for the final year, they had the Coach edition again and it had the same wheels from the platinum series. There was one option that most people never ordered and that's the Nakamichi sound system. It blows the standard pioneer out of the water. My 99 Coach had it, and my current platinum series has it. They are the only two I've ever seen with the nakamichi. That's a big reason I bought my platinum because it's such a rare car being a one year only platinum and nakamichi. The platinum package was over 3k dollars and the nakamichi was also over 3k dollars which is why a lot of people never ordered it with it. I also had a 98 with 451k miles original engine and trans, service records to the moon from the dealer and mostly highway. I had 2 2001s same color and both suffered from the dreaded knock sensor issue. The 451k mile car was back in 2016 and it's still on the road today. I believe all are still on the road. My dad donated the 99 Coach to his church and I don't know where it is now. For everyone who says this is a rebadged Camry...you're VERY wrong. There is hardly anything that's the same as a Camry and it's not the same chassis as well. They share a few parts but Lexus vehicles back in the day were made with quality and development and research and care.

Fellow ES300 owner here. You bought the best edition of the 3rd generation ES, congrats and enjoy it!

I got the same car with 78,000 miles for 3,500, I nearly passed out when the old lady sold it to me

Best es300 review in youtube.

omg you are so calm. voice is kinda soothing. why are you so calm?

I watch this video like once a week. This and the 2006 LS430 are my favorite cars right now.

He has a voice to keep people serene. He should have been a psychologist. Perfect, sleeping voice lol.

My mom had got the same one, but a 1997 2 years ago. With 200,000+miles for $2,000. And it still runs great still each time I drive it 👍

This video made me feel so relaxed! Very soothing!

This was a very good review of this car. I've always wondered what differences this has with my 2001 Toyota Camry Gallery Series V6 with 111,000 miles. Obviously the Camry is a downgrade but I still wanted to know all the features this had in case I wanted to upgrade someday to this ;) and you did a good job showing them all. I am a nerd about my car lol

Super clean!!! For a 2001! Had one of these back in the days. Loved it, quiet and smooth. Excellent video.

wat yall tripin the es 300 is a beautiful car to drive still have one ya don't kno what yall missing

I just bought the 02 lexus es300 with 122000 miles(1 owner). quiet, smooth, and comfortable. Just owned it for 2 months and already want to keep it for 10 more years!!!

I’m getting one of these as a Christmas present this Christmas. Very excited, first car.

Dude!, You need to keep this car because these cars are very reliable and they will last a long time!, and lexus are very good-looking and stylish cars!, I highly recommend a Lexus any time because of the liability and stylish look!

Nostalgia is real... this was my childhood car 😭❤️

It couldn’t look better. Classic design

I have this car with 222000 miles still super quiet super smooth super reliable.

I had 3 of there I loved them all my father is moving away in 2 months so I will have a 2001 again yess love it

Beautiful car man. Treat her well and happy traveling!

I love this Es300 i always enjoy driving my Lexus.... Best buy i made

In the market for one. Awesome video couldn't have asked for more.

Thanks for the review

very nice car man. really liked your presentation.

Great review!! I own a 97 and love it!! Just wondering why yours doesn't have heated seats? I've never seen one without them.

These cars are tanks, such a smooth ride and cant beat the reliability, good purchase!

WOW. Literally pristine inside!!!!!!!

i got a ride to work in one of those from my mechanic at the time, honestly I only remember that it felt like we werent even moving it was so comfortable. And it had a good strong engine in it going on the highway

That body style is the best looking ES of all time. Can you give a price range you paid for it?

nice choice.. i too have Es300. i just love it. are you on Club Lexus forum?

Nice ES300, I have the same year (and exterior color) as yours but with a different interior color.

I had a black 97 a green 2001 another silver 2001 loved them all never a problem just regular maintenance now my dad is leaving me hes2001 I’m exited

I bought one of these for 1100 dollars new Zealand, about a weeks wages, it still hits the top speed of 220 kph and regularly cruises at 140, I flushed out the Trans and put in about 12 litres of new atf the filter I was supplied with was wrong so I put it back together with no filter and man it goes good, that was 50,000 KS ago and is still going well.

my mom has the same exact car. same year, color and the coach edition. its almost as good condition as yours

I have one of its siblings, 03 Avalon XLS with the same wheels, nice cars.

I own newer Lexus ES cars, but like this style the most.

Years later ....still a beautiful machine.

What a clean car

Looks awsome!

nice pickup!

This car is amazing

Looks mint, wow!!! How did you find it?

Love the wood grain/finish. Miss this style of luxury. Not overloaded by gimmicky digital features and screens. Just simple, analogue aesthetics and feels. Would love for Lexus to re-release this interior just updated mechanics.

Fantastic vehicles. Incredibly reliable. 210hp btw

One of the most well made and reliable car ever.

i had one as commute car 70 miles round trip… let go of it @ 175k miles… comfortable and ultra reliable

How are you liking the es300? Still have it? Did you have any issues with it?

I've got an es300, same year except grey on black. bulletproof engine and will last you 200k

Great cars

My first car lol Got one back in 2010. 97' Es300. loved it.

That's some immaculate leather!

Really want this car love Lexus

Very clean car

I'm going to look at one this week. 175000 miles. Good condition no mechanical issue or check engine lig gt. Seller wants $2300. Is that a good deal? And whats the gas mileage on these?

I bought same car six years ago with 40,000 miles on it. My wife uses it everyday and we have never had one issue with it other then changing the battery which is normal.

Thank you for the video. Pls I have one of these car, it's a 1997 full option but the previous user used it very badly, the engine is loud like the the idle rpm is high, it consumes fuel and the AC works continuously without breaking because the wiring has obviously been tampered with. How can you be of help? Also I need you to help me with the complete wiring blueprint of this car so I can use it to correct mine. Thank you

Hi. I Also have the Same 2001 Lexus ES300 and I really like it. I have had it apx 7 months and now have a Flashing AC Light on. My AC was working Great then the Light came on and must me the Magnetic Clutch Relay gone bad. I Guess. 148,000 miles and put a New Timing Belt all New Coil Packs , Plugs etc . Was running good Until the AC Light coming on. Under Your hood the Fuse and Relay Box looks just like mine. I pray it is Only the MG-CLT Relay is All I will Need. The Relay Cover shows the Relay 1st in the Back Line with MG-CLT on the inside cover. Do you know anything about that AC Clutch Relay ? Thank you Tom

You still have it? Looks amazing

Have one like yours..same color too. I have to replace my cup holders any suggestions?

Gonna go look at one this weekend, clean exterior and interior 180k miles and the sellers asking $2200. Are these cars reliable? What are the known issues they have?

Car is clean🎯

Very nice car

Welcome t body roll city! If you love tons of body roll get one of these!

Got my 98 es300 for $600 with 190.000 on it .i put $500 in it .man these cars are awesome.all i hear is hey .you wanna sell that lexus.iam like naww son..zoom zoom

I Love this car I have a 1997 Lexus Es 300 & i just put a wood steering wheel on it & electronic shocks & the car ride smoother than most BMW infinity Audi & Acura

Great review of the car. I'm thinking of buying one. Anything to watch out for in particular? How are the suspensions? Do they need to be replaced regularly? Are they expensive to replace?

Got a 97 lexus looks the same just more luxurious wonder if i can ad that sterring wheel on mine

i know a guy who owns an avalon with same engine as that....his car has over 500k miles and still runs good

Niiice!! Sweet ride, and they run very smooth! Picked up a 99 ES300 through CraigsList for $1,300 (deal)!! Love it!

I have the 99 Toyota Avalon xls. Basically like the lexus es300 but toyota rebadged. Only difference my engine is loud and aggressive. Also sounds like a manual even tho it’s automatic. Everything you said is just the same as my avalon. It could be a good sleeper car if you do work on it.

looks brand new. damn. Nice car!

I found one for 3.9k with 143k milage. Is this a good deal??

you discribed the ES as a camry with leather seats and lexus badges. that's what i tell ppl when they say "ooh a lexus" then i reply "its just a fully loaded camry" lol

Is it a good idea to buy one of these now with 200k miles on it?

its very similar to my 300m. Even the cupholders suck.

Can you save presets for driver’s seat position?

Does this VVTi engine have a lot of valve lifter noise? I'm wondering if this is common or if my 2000 ES300 needs a valve adjustment or something else. Thanks for the video.

I bought the same car, not Coach, for $300 and fixed it for $150 in 2017, still drive it today coming up on 200K. Fyi those cupholders will break, and good luck finding replacements. And there's a CD changer in the glove box!

Dude could read the phone book and I’m here for it.

What kind of fuel do you use??

My 2001 Avalon had the same exact V6 engine

I love this car es300 Lexus 2000

There’s one for sale near me but they’re asking for $2500 and it has had the transmission replaced

Are these reliable?

I need help figuring out what’s wrong with my car we have the same make and model

Is the sound quality of the speakers any good?

u still have the ES?

Nice review. I own the same car with about 190K Miles :)

Where’s the antenna? I bought one and my AM/FM is not working

i like it. shame that es wasn't popular in europe

Hi. I would like to know about the transmission. Is it smooth? Whats RPM is it on about 60mph? The car is noisy at this speed?

Wow, best review of my car yet. I have a question, do you think it's hard on the engine to keep overdrive on at all times?

If you guys didn't know, this has a toyota variant that's less luxurious and more sporty called the Toyota Prominent, has the same engine, but with Four wheel steering.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think i was watching Nick Hexum of 311 talking about his es! Lol

Yo quiero unooooo

I have a black exact!!!

ok hi guys here I comes in lexus bosses zone ok I bout mu es 300 2000,... 1 year ago I've never had any problems but I was wondering why my power steering is so hard at very low speed like below 40mph or 10mph but after 40mph to 80mph steering is like smother silky do I have to change just power Steering pump any reply Thanks lexus lovers

Is the maintenance really high on these cars

My father had this car and sold it 240,000 miles I don’t know why cause it’s was running fine. Sadly I couldn’t inherit it as I was only 15 when got rid of it.
