Default A few pics of the ES300

Hello, I have been a member here for a while, and I don't think I have ever posted any pics of our ES300. Its nothing spectacular, nothing amazing, just a really nice ES300.

I know, they are huge and pretty bad looking pics, sorry...

Very clean, looks like it's right out the showroom. These cars scream class in a quiet and refined manner IMO, thats one reason why I think they're so appealing. I'm not crazy about gold/tan as an exterior color though on any car.

Thank you, and thank you.

Bought the G35 coupe a few months ago, and hardly ever drive the thing

Thanks, it almost drives like its off the showroom floor (almost).

When picking the car, the color was not a big deal for me. I bought it at first as a beater car to hull the dog and other crap around in (now have a different beater a 98 BMW 328i). So the "tan-ish" color didnt bother me, doesnt show much dirt, but it would not have been my first pick either. But since it was the beater, I didnt really care, but it has definitily grown on me.

I hear ya, I wasn't crazy about the color of my 01 ES. Already had the grey interior Lac, and the exterior dark grey wasn't my first choice either. I would have really liked Red on Tan, Black on Tan or Black on Black. The condition was so good though I couldn't pass it up, and it's grown on me as well. These are great cars though.

Yeah, its really hard to pass up a great deal, even if the color kinda sucks.

A red ES300 would be sweet, I'm not sure I have ever seen a red one though. I've seen the burgandy-ish purple color. But not red.

This is it right here,



They're pretty rare, I've only seen one as well. Real nice red IMO, even the rocker panels are red.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of that dark red, purple, burgandy-ish color. I thought you were talking about a brighter red. That I would like to see. I do think that darker red does look better in person. That picture does not do it any justice...
