Default New ES300

Folks, had to share this with the group - have two RX's, and bought a beautiful 2000 ES300 with 50k miles. Didn't really plan on it but the Saturn I had was just nickle and diming me to death. Have read a lot of good things about the ES's so I took a chance.

I got it for $9995, which when compared to KBB, is pretty good. I got $3k for my old Saturn so that helped a good bit - I also got them to pay for an extended warranty for 5 years and 50,000 miles. Pretty damn happy with this car - thanks for all of your comments.

Unfortunately, no to the HID's. Everything is stock - supposedly the car was owned by an older couple who did not partake in customization. I most likely will not add too much to the car either.

I think he mean't the OEM ones, which you don't have on this one, like this:

Wow, nice car! I do love that body style. 11 years doesn't seem to have as much of a negative affect on cars built within the last 10 or so years as it did on cars of previous eras. I just bought a 2003 es300 and it still looks and runs like a brand new car. Congrats on the "new" ride!
