Default 2002 es300 help!!!!

I plan to purcahse one owner 2002 ES300 with 26K miles for $13 000 is that car that year with that many miles worth that much? Yes it is low mileage but it is 7 years old. Anything i should look before buying thank you? I own a 1993 Lexus GS300 with almost 230 000 miles will the es last that long if i maintain it?

I'll agree with that, price seems fair to me if the car had its' maintenance done. Check the dip stick and oil cap for sludge, we run synthetic in ours.

Ours has 36K Miles on it and we've had bo problems. We just did a big brake conversion and lowered the car with coil-overs. If you're curious here's a link to the project.

Well I bought it for 13 000 the dealer would not go penny more down he said there were people calling for it. It has 26570 miles silver on gray (heated seats etc.) I think i got good deal on low mileage MINT Lexus not even a schratch. Does anyone know good aftermarket wood dash? Any pictures of 2002-2006 Lexus ES with addes wood dash that you may have?

I think that's a good deal. We are consider getting teh ES300/ES330 but not sure which year should we get (between 2002 - 2005). There are many listing for ES but for 13K? It is more like a 2002 with 100K+ miles on it. So you did good.

Let us know how it holds up in the future.

I bought in Naperville. It was serviced from day one in McGrath Lexus westmont from the day it was new. The car was owned locally by older grandpa that is why in first year of owning it it only has put on 1000 miles. It has not even a scratch and still plastic on floors. It was 13K + tax so i think i overpaid a little don't you think?
