Im interested in this car, and i found one with 19k miles, and its in PERFECT conditions(its my uncle's) i was wondering, whats the price for these cars now-a-days? also, any con's and pro's for this car?

Go to http://www.kbb.com, punch in the necessary info for the '03 ES, and you'll get a reasonable market value for the car. Since this is your uncle's ES, I'm sure he'll give you a terrific price you can't refuse

As far as pros and cons of the car, you gotta do some homework buddy. Search within this forum by using keywords such as "es300 good", "es300 bad", etc. Only true way to determine an honest opinion is to take the car for a test drive. Test the acceleration, brake slow, brake hard, play with the controls, do whatever. Hope you get the idea.

awwwww, come on, wouldnt it be easier for you guys to just tell me,? hehe jk ill do the research

Lord, KBB says 23k for the car, but my uncle told me he's selling it for around 15k, maybe i can get it for less ==]]]]]]

I only found something about fuses.....what else? please help

Also would this spoiler look good on the car? http://www.wings-plus.com/Display.asp?id=5784

Your profile says that you got a 2000 GS300. If I were you, I would rather keep the GS and save the money. If you are coming from a non-Lexus vehicle, then it makes more sense.

Nonono, that is a mistake, that was my ride, but i gave it to my mom, because her Volvo 940 got totalled(she made it out without a single scratch on her) and im looking for a new ride, so thats why she gave me 15k to buy a car

i'd get another GS.

and volvos are the safest cars ever from what i hear.

You got that right, that volvo 940 was mine and OMG, its like a tank, its very very safe(that was the safest car in the world, back in 1995) But i wont be able to find a GS for 15k or less from 2003.....I found a 2000 model for 15k, and thats too old, i prefer my uncle's ES300, its a 2003 model and low miles


The ES would be 4 years old next year instead of 7 like the GS!! and for the same price, EVEN THOU i like the GS more, it would not be a good choice because idont know how the previous owner treated the car, of if something is wrong(since i dont live in the USA i cant use carfax)

i think its a good deal, what do u guys think

15K is an excellent price for an '03 ES with such low mileage. I just traded in my like new '03 ES with ALL the optional equipment(Mark Levinson Audio, Navigation, and rear spoiler) for an '07 ES350 and I got approximately 23K. This car had only 16,000 miles.

Does this car that you're buying have any optional equipment?

In any case, knowing the cars history is worth it's weight in gold.

Good luck,

Alan

Hmm, it doesnt have a spoiler....no navigation(it doesnt work in central america) and i dont know what else, when my friend arrives july 25th ill go to his house and see the car, but i still think its a pretty good deal

tupapison

You want to see if its a good deal for next year, look at what a 2002 ES300 is worth:

So next year the 2003 model should be worth that, and for 15k ITS A PRETTY GOOD DEAL......10k less
