Default 1997 Es300 - Newbie

Just bought a 1997 ES with 119,500 miles on it. Runs great, excellent interior and exterior. Looks like I'm in for changing the timing belt/water pump and brake pads on all 4's. I've been reading the forum for a week now and what a wealth of great information. Thanks

Thanks - I've owned Toyotas before, but excited to be driving a Lexus finally.

Congratulations!

You will love the ES! Another perk of owning a Lexus, is that you can waste your time at work on Club Lexus. LOL, of course that's not what I do :P
