I never thought I would ever buy what I believe to be a Japanese Buick. I used to mock the Lexus ES until I endured driving a lemon Subaru Legacy for almost 5 years. The problems were unremitting.

I found a 2003 Lexus ES 300 with 99000 miles sitting at a dealership and I thought to myself, nice car. Of course, it rode and drove as smooth as a velvet glove.

I am looking forward to exchanging ideas and helping whenever I can.

I also am one who is never satisfied with a bone stock car. One thing that I would like to modify on this car would be to add a thicker sway bar on the front and rear. The car has a little too much roll for my tastes. On the other hand, I can live with it for a while, so it is not a big deal.

I would like to find a thicker sway bar for this model to be able to corner better. It certainly isn't urgent, so I plan on enjoying this car for a while.

Get the basic maintenance out of the way before mods.

Has the timing belt and water pump been replaced? Its due at that mileage.

Post up some pics!

No pics yet, but timing belt and H20 pump taken care of due to your advise and the fact that it hasn't been done before. Thanks.
