I am thinking about purchasing a 2005 ES330 from a relative. The car only has 45,000 miles on it and appears to be in good condition. There isn't a Lexus dealership in my area that I can take the car to for a prepurchase inspection. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what some common problems are in this vehicle so I can make sure these problems are checked out. I have read a lot of complaints about hesitation with the transmission so this definitely has me concerned. Does the hesitation cause the transmission to fail prematurely? Are there any other common problems that I should get checked out before purchasing it?
