Hi gang,

Just purchased a 1999 es300 with 122,000 on the clock for 8K, this site was invaluable in helping me research the model. I look forward to learning all there is to know about them!

cheers,

sean

 

Welcome Sean!

 

thats A LOT of miles, my 97 only has 84k

 

Hello..

congrat, on the purchase...
wat colour is yours..?

Congrats.. Welcome to the club!

 

Yeah, It's a lot of miles. The car was used as a limo from some high-powered attorney in CA. Drove it from Carlesbad all over the state -- so it was a program car for his Law firm (lot's of preventive maintenance ) The car moved to Houston and was traded on a Bimmer last month.

I've got all the books & records, and the car just purrs...

It's white over tan leather, and 9/10 both inside and out. I'll post pics over the weekend, when it stops raining.

Congrats on the purchase! Even with higher mileage, it will be a great car!

WELCOME.


Good to have another '99 member with the site...

 

congrats and just dont care about mileage !

 

Thanks for the positive comments !! It's definitely one smooth ride. Grin. Quite a change from my 911 for the day-to-day commuter grind.

One question that I've had a hard time finding an answer to in the archives...my seatbelts don't retract properly (or at all, really) is there a DIY for repairing this? Is it a common problem?

cheers,

sean
