Default New 2006 ES330 Owner... Advice

Hello all,

I just purchased a 2006 ES330 yesterday with 83,000 miles for $12K

The car is the Oasis Green Pearl, was a one owner clean CarFax with every service performed at the dealer which I bought it from. Extremely clean, new Bridgestone Assurance tires, and fully loaded with every option except for navigation.

I knw that I will have a big service coming up at 90K and am ready for that. I will also continue to service at all intervals needed.

Any advice you can give on service, overall ownership, did I get a good deal, etc?

I am looking forward to this forum.

Thanks

Mike

When I did my 2002 ES at 100K, I did a complete timing belt job... water pump, idler/tensioner bearings, tensioner, oil seals, thermostat, alternator belt and power steering belt. I also changed out all the fluids... coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid. Changed out the spark plugs, PCV valve, new air and cabin filter and cleaned the throttle body. The brakes were done at an earlier date and were in good shape.

With proper care and maintenance the vehicle should serve you well over time and then you can
tell whether you got a good deal or not.

Your service isn't coming up, its past. The timing belt should have been changed after 7 years, so time is up.

I agree with all the services hzt30 mentioned above.

Post up some pics of your ride. How are you liking it?
