Default Greetings Y'all from NC /first Lexus


day 1
New 01' ES300 owner here. Just picked up my ride not even registered yet. Not until I get it road worthy. Mainly the suspension is shot at just under 165k. I want to put it up on jack stands and check out every bushing, boot, and bearing related to the front end. I want to completely restore the suspension but keep a lower stance so I am searching the forum and getting some ideas. Looking forward to learning more about these cars and exchanging knowledge....and eventually end up with one sweet ride.

Default Roll Call

2003 es 300 90k miles not sure what package it is everything is pretty basic inside. I got it in exchange for work . I'm a lil bummed its not rwd, but w/e its a nice lil cruiser haha. So far I've just tinted the rear windows (5%) and the front (10 or 15%) I don't remember, put a straight through magnaflow exhaust. It does not sound ricey at all just a bit more aggressive when you put the hammer down. In the future i think Ill be doing coil overs, but not slammed to the ground just a bit lower to get rid of the fender gap and that's probably it.

Tell us some details about your new Lexus including:

- Color of the exterior and Interior
- Options including Nav, etc.

and a picture!
Hey there! Just wanted to say hey! I have a 98 es300 that my sister bought new and barely drove it. Needs some tlc but runs good and has only 95000 original miles. Its black on black. Interior is in great shape, body too with just some minor body work needed. I just recently bought new suspension all the way around and did the front last weekend. Now Im looking for some help with the rear, replacing crossmember and all the lateral arms and trailing arms as well as struts. Any help would be appreciated, thanx... Pics to follow, although it doesnt look good at the moment. Wheel purchase next on the list. Dealing with some rust underneath that has me concerned about breaking some bolts that may not be available? We shall see, getting into the rear suspension. Cheers!!

Default New member, old car

I'm Paul from central Alabama. I drive a 2003 ES300 that I bought from my parents when they bought a new Lexus ES about 4 years ago. It's a basic ES300, Silver with grey interior.

This is the only pic I have of my car. This was from 2 years ago, the last time it snowed in central Alabama.

Hi! New here & to Lexus. Just bought an 2005 ES330, 198k miles, black/black, sunroof, cd/tape. Also my first used car purchase - lots of lessons about getting a flashlight under the hood, taking to a mechanic first, actually looking through paperwork before purchase, etc. Thankfully found a mechanic friend who'll help bring it back to good maintenance. I'm also getting rid of the dog hair & polishing the headlights. Best part is that my son didn't really get into cars, but he loves this thing. Got a kick out of the low-tech cassette aux converter. We can't believe how smooth it is!

Default New to the club

Hi. I am new in here and looking for some answers. I own a 2004 ES330 and I love my car. I recently hit a deer. Worse night ever. Anyways the mechanics of my car is ok but cosmetically its not. I am trying to find out if a 2002 ES300 parts would work on my 2004 ES330. I did start a new thread for my question but not really sure how or where to start asking questions. Any help would be and will be greatly appreciated. Thank you and I am looking forward to hearing some feed back.

Default New Owner 2005 ES330

Greetings All! I am a new-to -me owner of a 2005 ES330, black with beige leather, with all the bells and whistles except satellite radio. 170,000 miles in great shape minus some predictable maintenance for the age like valve cover gasket... Transitioning from five years with a 1998 Acura integra. Not quite the agile zippiness of the Integra but the solid luxury and sense of quality is awesome. My son and I both agree that driving the Lexus induces a kind of motorized tranquility kind of like your favorite comfortable leather chair in the coziest room in your house listening to your favorite music drinking a warm cup of coffee... Yeah, I'm loving it.
