Default FS: 2000 ES300 Platinum Edition Black with Black interior 87k on motor $4500 OBO

Hello all

Up for sale is my 2000 ES300 my pride and joy, my baby, the most dependable car i've ever owned: Hayley

The car has 208,000 which will go up as i will still be driving this car.

I have new in box wipers I will include with the car as well!!!!!!

Mods:

2 piston brake calipers up front from the 1996 Toyota Avalon
GS350 10-spoke wheels
Eibach Pro-Kit
Tokico Blue Struts
25mm spacers in rear
ARP Extended studs in rear
MOOG camber bolts in rear
Energy suspension front control arm Polyurethane bushings
Energy suspension rear strut bar Polyurethane bushings
Solara Front strut bar
TRD Rear sway bar with Polyurethane sway bar mounts
LED License plate lights
LED Interior lights (map, puddle and overhead "door open")

Maintenance and other goodies:

I purchased the vehicle (135k) with a bad motor, turned out the bank 1 exhaust manifold had a bad catalytic converter that clogged the exhaust. I first rebuilt the motor and it lasted till 178k started burning oil and coolant. Then i took a 2 weeks sourcing a different motor to put in. Found one from a JDM import shop with less than 60k on it, replaced all oil seals and gaskets (minus the head gasket and valve stem seals) timing belt, waterpump tensioner pulleys and installed it. This motor was installed CORRECTLY uses the original unmodified harness and passes emissions every time, no check engine lights. No oddities or hiccups in the cars operation from the swap or anything like that.

Front tires: Hankook Ventus v2 concepts with about 10k on them 225-45-17 V-rated
rear tires: cooper rs3 with less than 5k on them 225-45-17 W-rated

New spark plugs 7/21/14 NGK Iridium

Car has had synthetic run through it since the new oil seals and has been changed ~5k intervals with OEM toyota oil filter every time. CAR DOES NOT BURN A DROP OF OIL even after 5k.

All 4 brake calipers have been rebuilt with new internal seals and copper line seals.

transmission filter and fluid changed, shifts incredibly smooth, no banging gears or hard shifts into drive or reverse.

all factory speakers are in the car. (system sounds amazing to all that have heard and asked if it was a factory system)

Auto-leveling hid system works

power seats work.

Frame has ZERO rust

BAD stuff and things:

Plenty of rock chips and dings up front, couple of dings along the doors, scratches can be found through out the body.

The front was hit and kinked the hood because the car is low, the beam supporting the hood is broken but the hood still looks great, there is a split in the paint.

Vouching for seller. Have seen car in person plenty of times, and can verify that all above is true to my knowledge.

Oh, and he's awesome too
