Hello!
i am new to the Lexus world! I just purchased an 04 ES330. I believe it’s the trim with the Mark Levinson package. 111200 all original miles, leather intact, and she drives nicely. Unfortunately, I do not have any pics at this time
I just picked up a 1998 ES 300 for cheap and I've already gleaned some good info here on ClubLexus, so I'm really happy to join the community!
This new-to-me ride is black with a tan leather interior, and it has 240K miles on it! I'm not sure what "grade" it is, but according to the V-Spec I pulled, its factory options included the "Leather Trim Package with Driver's Seat Memory", a moonroof, and the "6-CD Auto-Changer".
The stock Pioneer head unit's LCD is shot, but the CD player works and the cassette works well enough for an adapter to connect my smartphone until I cobble together the cash for a modern double-din head unit. So, for a twenty year-old car with so many miles on it, it's in pretty good shape - it certainly starts right up, idles smooth and drives really well! It's not quite as responsive as a 2000 Honda Accord V6 EX-L I once had, but transmission seems MUCH more solid.
The black paint is faded so it has a dark gray matte finish that I almost like - but I guess I'll apply something to stop further oxidation (wax product suggestions welcome :-).
It had two new Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus tires and two mismatched older tires that were shot, so I bought a couple more of the Bridgestones to round out a matching set (205/65R15s on the stock rims). New sneakers all-around!
The previous owner maintained it pretty well - it's been running full synthetic oil for a while... He also added HID lights. I'll share additional info along with questions in other posts - like I said - I'm glad to be here, and I look forward to learning more from your collective wisdom!

Welcome (from one newbie to another)! If you're curious about what grade your ES 300 is, or what options/package$ it originally came with, you can look it up on Lesux.com with your VIN (Owners --> Resources --> Vehicle Specifications).
Hi. New to the list, but have had my 1998 ES300 for about 7 years. Bought it second-hand (obviously) and have had very little issues with it.
White with tan interior. Stock. Haven't done anything to it but DRIVE it. New tires as you might expect given that it has 205,000 miles on it.
Very dependable, which is why I bought it for my daughter. Somehow, she got to upgrade to a 2007 RX330 and I got the 98 ES300. What we dads do for our daughters.

I purchased a 1997 Lexus ES 300 off of craigslist. photos will come where it no longer looks quite as messy. though needing the motor for driver side window has been very annoying.

Does the driver side window not open at all or does it just feel sort of stuck when you press it? On mine I need to press extra hard on the front two windows, but the rear are fine. Not sure what that indicates.
Nice, but a little late to have found this forum, 14 years after I bought this car! Happy to say that I have only 122k miles on car and have had only a few issues, which explains why I may not have been searching for a forum. One of those ongoing issues are wheels where the paint began peeling off a decade ago and dealership just shrugged it off. I was working too much so did not have time to press the issue. I have now met two other owners with exact same car & year whose wheels look like they are a year old, so it appears the paint on my wheels was not applied correctly. I hate how the wheels look so I would like to buy three wheels to match the one new wheel on the spare tire and could use some advise. I also need to install a new front fender as it has cracked in several places and become detached due to driving a bit too far over a broken/jagged curb. I am wondering what the actual cost of the fender is as auto body shop is charging more than I am seeing the cost online, but not sure of the quality that I am seeing online. So are there reputable places to get prices for and buy these parts online? Thanks so much for any advice you may offer.
I just acquired a 1994 Lexus ES300. The first problem I note is that a few light bulbs behind the gauge cluster are burned out and the tachometer indicator isn't illuminated. How do you disassemble the gauge cluster to replace the bulbs? Where can a get a downloadable a shop manual for this car. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Hello Everyone,
I just got my first Lexus, a 1999 ES300 with 143,000 miles. I must say, I love it. The car is in great condition, I replaced the battery and its getting brakes and rotors all around right now. I believe it is diamond white? Can someone help with that? I have a set of BBS wheels (15" monoblock from the old rx7, powdercoated purple but will change color most likely) that are going on the car, and will get yellow fogs and LED lights all around, but other than that I don't think I'm going to do much else because I love the styling already. I am in 914 NY so anyone in the area who has some parts for sale, or maybe a Lexus meetup, please let me know. Thanks for looking...
