Default My First ES

Hi, I'm new. I just bought a 1997 ES300 with 105,000 miles from Servco Lexus. I look forward to reading and contributing to this forum. If anyone wants to see more photos, I put some here:

welcome to the club. Your lexus is very clean and in great shape to be a 97. We have the same exact color, and based off the mirror tint you have on yours, I may lean towards that rather than black for my car. What % do you have all around?

Thank you! The car already had the tint on it, so I am guessing it is 35%, as that is the darkest legal in Hawaii. It is on all windows, except for the windshield.

Thank you! My salesman sold the car brand new to an older couple who took great care of it and traded it in. The servicing was all up to date, so my next service is in January. Yes, Hawaii does have a very active car enthusiast community!

Thanks! I didn't love the tint at first, but it has started to grow on me.
