Hi. How are you??
This is my first posting on the ES300 Section.
Recently my Uncle gave me his 92 ES300, One Owner, Highway Miles.
About a month a go, somebody stole his ES300 and vandalized it.
Instead of claiming insurance (he was concerned with the age and mileage of the vehicle that the it might be a loss), he decided to give me the car as is, for free. Can't beat free

Here's the bad news, the damage:

1) The front hood - looks like they threw a garbage can or barrel on it so it has a huge dent. Are the 92-96 hoods inter-changeable??

2) Instrument / Speedometer Cluster - Took that out. Are the 92-96 inter-changeable?? Where can I go to get the mileage set to what it was??

3) Center Radio and HVAC Control - Not there anymore. My uncle told me that he NO CD Changer and he thinks the Head Unit didn't have a function for CD. To my knowledge, wasn't the CD Standard Equipment?? I would OEM but would like a CD Changer. Do the OEM CD Changers play CD-R's well?? Is there an Aftermarket CD Changer available to use with an OEM Head Unit?? Also are the Radio and HVAC Control inter-changeable??

I think that's it for now, that's all I noticed last nite.
Wish me luck!!!!
Any info would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks~~

Nope, I have a '93 and it was only am/fm stereo.
If he dose have a cd player/changer, it will be an old FM version in the trunk.

Mine has a crappy pioneer. Better than nothing... No wait, not really.

Thanks for the replies.
Right now the hood is the most important to me.
Visually it's not too bad but it's annoying to me. So I'm on the hunt

Once again, Thanks~~
