  • The best car i ever had - 1996 Lexus ES 300
    By -

    This car is the best I got it from a good friend of my, at first I was worry but now I have had this car for at least 3 years and the only thing I have ever done is oil change and nothing else this car is the best car ever. The best purchase ever.

    As a buyer who usually purchases new, riding down the road of trying to select a good used vehicle that was good looking, fun to drive and economical (regular unleaded) was challenging. However, to my delight I was fortunate enough to select a 1996 Lexus ES 300. It rides like new, has almost 100k miles and still is a real plaesure to drive. The only thing that needs repair are the two front leather seat bottoms. I will have that done for a few hundred bucks and drive this car untill the wheels fall off. The way the Lexus is built, it may outlast me! I can not be happier with the quality, looks and reliability of this car. This is my second Lexus, and I love it.

  • Reliability is out of this world - 1996 Lexus ES 300

    Everyone thought I was stupid when I decided to drive this car from Chicago to Miami when it had 328K miles on it. I had 0 incidents during my round trip of over 3500 miles. Enough said, the best car ever built in my opinion.. I have more confidence in this car than driving a brand new car from any manufacturer. I change my oil every 5000 miles and it has a minor oil leak which I decided isnt worth fixing. I just top it off and it has been like that for couple years now. I bought this car used with 254k for 1700. I have already put 100k on it lol. I definitely got my moneys worth.

    I bought this car used in oct of 2004-- I have had the timing belt done and there was an oil leak in the engine which I had repaired---and a cv boot- the past owner never did any up keep-- oil was filthy etc---but now I couldnt be happier--I drive many miles and in fact have already put 14,000 on this car in three months. I t goes great in the snow too. The acceleration is awesome and I am thrilled to own this car. I will never ever own anything but a Lexus again in my life. I am 59 and have owned a lot of cars. The only one I loved this much was my 1969 GTO. Oh I hate the cup holder but minor detail.

    Ive had my car for such a long time and i jst cant say how reliable this car has been for me. Ive thought of giving it up but the only way i will is to get another used lexus. these cars are so well built. once u have one u cant go back to anything smaller also. my cd player dont work but i plug in my ipod and Im good to go. i plan to get a used rx330 in the future once this dies. Ive got 142k miles and never have to do much to it just routine things. Im a single mom and need a good car and this worked well for years for me.

  • Like New after 6 Years - 1996 Lexus ES 300
    By -

    My wife and I are constantly commenting on how the car drives as good as it did when we drove it away from the showroom. Nearly 100,000 miles and only tires, batteries, and a couple of minor repairs. The service has been great as well.

  • Marvelous Used Car - 1996 Lexus ES 300
    By -

    Bought this about a year ago. Have done nothing to it since other than oil changes. Drives fantastic on the highway, AC is perfectly cold, CD player is highest quality, seat comfort great, and its very peppy to drive. I was looking for a Camry and found this for a good deal, I am hooked on Lexus now!

  • Good car to hold on to - 1996 Lexus ES 300
    By -

    Purchased it in 1999, off a 3 year lease and 36K miles. Car runs well and accelerates well at high speeds. Body design has withstood the test of time. However, I did add a new transmission in 2004. Leather seat showing wear and tear. I would buy a new one.

  • LEXUS Till I Die... - 1996 Lexus ES 300
    By -

    I bought my 1996 ES300 used from a Lexus Dealership. This car has kicked ass all the way. When I want to conserve gas (I.e. Long Road Trips), I disengage the ECT power and I am able to squeak out 400 miles on one tank! (Of course setting the Cruise Control @ 75mph and rolling through the hills of Tennessee & Kentucky.)

  • RELIABLE LEXUS 300 - 1996 Lexus ES 300
    By -

    I have never had a more reliable car which makes it "a keeper." Gas mileage is 21 mpg. Excellent car.
