Buying a used 2004 Lexus ES330...help
Looking at buying a 2004 Lexus ES330 ML w/ nav, 85k; $10,400
What are some things I should be looking at as far as known problems?
The car has had only one owner and it was always service at Prestige Lexus in Jersey.
Thanks

You should be able to get the timing belt for less, I paid 820 at my lexus dealer for my 04. Check Toyota dealers, some will work on lexus cars. Sounds like a good deal. I have 101500 miles on my 04 and the only problem I had was the alternator went bad. Very good car.

Thanks guys...I was going to have them change the timing belt before I pick it up.
I was looking for common problems and found tranny issues but I'm sure the Lexus dealer would hav it caught it and fix the problems being that car was always serviced there for 8 years.
I'm actually buying the car from Mazda Dealer...I'll keep everyone posted...thanks again

dont bet on them fixing tranny lol. take it for a test drive and go through all gears. look for any signs of hesitation, weird up/down shifting.
