I received this car about a year ago. Its a 96 lexus es300 coach edition with 281000 miles. When I saved it from permanent retirement it had 254000 miles. My dad bought a new Cadillac. I had fixed this car about 4 years ago for him. I put in another engine that was supposedly low miles from a junk yard. So far its been the best car I have owned. Literally. I tend to drive with a heavy foot and sometimes aggressively. This is the only engine that has held up to my foot lol . Well ever since it was purchased it has shifted rough. My dad retired it due it not downshifting anymore. Its now a standard. Looking for some help on fixing this issue. I'm rrally good in fixing vehicles just not transmissions. Give me an engine and I can make it purr like a kitten. I'm currently averaging 27 28 miles a gallon since I have been driving normally due to weak transmission. Does anybody have any suggestions for fixing this issue?
I purchased a 2004 es330 with 17500 miles on it. It is what is called a base model but I am getting used to it. Having trouble with the passenger side mirror. it is blotchy and does not cut down the glare. Am looking into solving this problem. It is melinium silver in color. Bought the repair manuals but they are something else. Trying to figure them out.
It's been five years since my first and only post here. I bought my 04 ES 330 in 2007 when it was off lease. Since then I have put 60,000 miles on it and have just turned 90,000 miles.
I have been lurking on this website for five years plus and wanted to say thank you to all the contributors and experts.
Great site and thank you all ��

Hello my name is Mike and I love my 2005 Lexus ES330.
I’m trying to retire so I Just traded in my pickup truck for a 2005 Lexus ES330. I could not resist her smile....
For the last 15 years we have driven trucks and vans and I longed for luxury.
She is Alabaster metallic and has navigation, leather, and moon roof.
So with only 94,000 miles I’m looking forward doing a lot of road trips.
I've been driving a 2004 Avalon for about 8 or 9 years and recently had the opportunity to take over my Dad's 2005 ES330 when he moved up to an LS 460. I sold the Avalon and bought his ES330.
At 107k miles, it has had every scheduled maintenance (and then some) faithfully performed. Garage kept, clean, and in great shape but for a few minor imperfections (a few rock chips from Houston freeway driving and a scrape or two here or there).
I'm working on making it look even nicer with some detailing and fixing a few items that needed a bit of extra attention.
Always loved riding in this car, and now I'm loving driving it. Very cool. I'm a happy camper.

Hello from central Ohio. I bought my daughter a 1996 ES300 and since I am a DIY kind of guy, I thought I should join the forum.
