Default Manual Transmission

I am a new member with a 1993 ES 300 with a manual transmission. I haven't seen a recent thread on this car. I am the original owner & have babied this car since driving it home from the dealer. The car is in excellent condition. I am thinking about selling the car & am wondering what is the best way to advertise this car, since it is a very rare example of the ES 300. I have read that only about 200 were built. Consequently, it is going to appeal to just a few people who desire the manual transmission. I hope somebody has some suggestions for me!

I would start with Club Lexus and I agree it is a rare car and it is one owner but not sure how popular a es300 in manual is

I guess that I was hoping that it is a "sought-after" rare car. People have often said to me "Wow....I didn't know Lexus built a car with a stick shift." Maybe I will just keep it for another 18 years.

Welcome to Club Lexus!!, I'm sure you might find a potential buyer here for your vehicle, but seeing how rare the manual ES300's are, in my opinion, I would keep it and enjoy the vehicle.

I do wish you the best with your sale, if you decide not to keep your vehicle.

It's rare but not very sought after.I've seen two so far both in junkyards ..I would keep it if you can afford to. People who are trying to setup from the raced out 2dr civic,240's etc .. are always looking for entry level 4dr luxury car with a manual transmission..like the maxima,accord v6 or the es300.Test the waters on craigslist, clublexus and toyotanation.Oh and put some pics up..We love pics

It looks to be in great condition, same year and color. If i had money, i would definitely pick up an es300 with a manual transmission, i've always wanted one. They were fast enough, yet practical a conversation starter to.
