Default Local ES250

I went to the yard this morning and found a very old ES250 thats in overall good exterior condition. Interior is nice but very dirty.


Are these rare and needed for parts? I wasn't sure of the rarity on these.

They're very rare considering production was very low and they were only made for 2 years. I'm not sure of the parts demand though.

I've got one sitting for parts. The thing with rare cars is that the parts demand is rare as well.

unfortunately, there are plenty of parts car es250s laying around with blown engines and otherwise in decent shape. those engines had weak bearings.

hey, did that es250 have a cd player? i've patiently been keeping an eye out for a reasonably priced one.

it's a blast to drive, really i love it. shame we're gonna park it this week. our wvo car is going into full service- besides, it's got the dreaded bearing knock starting up.

she's going all electric when we've got the $$$
