Hi there!
I bought my 2005 ES330 about a year ago from a small local used car dealer. She had 3 previous owners and was a repo. She had an oil leak, needed a new motor mount, among a few other issues. I of course fell in love with it and needed it in my life. Took her to my mechanics who said she needs about $500 worth of work but otherwise she's clean.
So I bought her! Currently has 135k miles. I average about 21mpg (mostly city driving). I haven't had any real problems since purchasing, only have had to do routine oil changes. The tint was bubbling up so I had that replaced. There are rock chips that I need to touch up, and that strip of trunk molding on the back is hideously chipped so I need to deal with that too.
She does have the infamous 4th gen shifting issue. Although it is not that bad and I am able to drive around it 90% of the time with firm acceleration. My only real complaint is that when I floor it in this car it feels like nothing happens for a while -_- She takes her time.
Overall I love this car and plan to drive it until it explodes. I've taken good care of it since taking ownership/

I would also like to know if anybody sourced out a rear lip and front lip for the 02-06 ES300, only ones I found were on EBay. Also I will post up what a camry lip looks like on mine as well!
