You may ask why i didn't get a gen 2 aristo...well...i had only $18K set aside for petty cash so i bought this car on a whim. Dont have enough to get a gen 2 GS400/430 like i wanted.
So far so good though. The car is surprisingly quiet. I was driving like 105 and i didn't hear anything still. Very impressed...

I hate to be the one to have to do this, but I think it's time for a credibility check. I'm not saying jracer's lying about owning all these cars and buying an ES as a beater, but I'd like a little "warm fuzzy" that it's for real. How about posting a picture standing in front of this stable of Benzes?

Congragulations on the 2000 ES.
One friendly word of advice.....if you don't know the last time the engine oil and filter were changed on this car, or it does not have a documented service history, change the oil and filter ASAP...and every 3-4 months / 3000-4000 miles after. This engine (the 3.0 V6) is NOT forgiving of long drain intervals and will sludge up and gel with dirty oil.

Its not dark at LexusLand, I guess you are just blinded the bright white light at the end
of a long dark tunnel
Can't blame your parent laughing at you, your family has the most beautiful Ferrari ever made
and you bought a used ES?? (no offense to our fellow CL ES owners)
Welcome to the sunny side.
