Proud owner of a 96 ES300

Hello,
I just picked up a 96 ES300.. the car is in amazing shape, it has 143k, dealer maintained until about 127 that I know of...

I believe what it needs or will be needing is.. rear bushings..makes a little noise from time to time..and I also noticed it seems to have a small oil leak..any known issues?

Will try to post pics soon.

Congratulations on getting the 1996 ES 300. It's a great car. I still have mine and she runs like a champ...I want to see how far I can take her. Take good care of her and she'll take good care of you...happy driving...
