Question Can someone help me find a Es 300??

I recently had a wreck and totalled my 1991 Z28 Camaro. It was a bad *** car and I only had liability so i didnt get any money. I have 6,000 cash and I am hoping to find a Black or Green 92-94 Es 300, I have found good deals on a few but they were white and maroon. Can anyone help ??

Getting a 92 for $6K shouldn't be a problem, especially if you're willing to drive a little bit to pick the car up. In larger metropolitan areas, you'd be able to find plenty. Good color choices, too. The green from that era is a very handsome dark green that looks almost black in certain lights.

BTW, not sure how much you know about the evolution of the ES, try for a '94 if you can. The '94 models introduced some nice new features: the all-aluminum V6 engine, R-134a air conditioning (a leak in an older R-12 system is major $$ to repair, passenger-side airbag (keep your friends safe), and an outside temp feature on the climate control.

Indeed it did. The '94+ aluminum block (1MZ-FE) engine put out 3 more HP than the '92-'93 iron block (3VZ-FE). Can't remember the torque numbers off the top of my head.

Egainer,

I'm just curious, what did you use to remove the CL banner? Did it peel off easily?

thanks

I believe a GS fits in that category!

Default Cracked Radiator

Hey, Guys,
Thanks for all the good suggestions for repairing a tw0-inch crack in the upper part of my Es 300 radiator. I tried an epoxy mix. The hot water came right through it. It sat for 48 hours, was hard as a rock and still did not hold. In fact it melted. I went ahead and had the radiator replaced with another plastic one at a local mechanic for $385.00, parts and labor. I had a previous estimate for $546.00 from another independent mechanic. Didn't even bother asking Lexus what they would charge.
This morning I parked my Es 300 next to a 97 Camry. They are almost identical.
