Over the weekend, I was in Violator’s LS400. I was very impressed with his car overall. I am looking to pick up an older lexus as a dd. I know that Lexus is a part of the Toyota Corp so I am not too worried about the miles. I guess my question is…should I be worried if I get say an es300 with 120k on the OD? I dont think so…but anyone here have an older Lex or know people with high miles? Any issues? Input would be appreciated. ---

Thats my old car 🙂 I thought it had impressive power as well. 4.0 V8 was nice. The ES are V6 I believe but still have the toyota reliabilty built in. proper maintenance and car and you should get some good miles out of one ---

ES = Camry = reliable. You’ll have all the stupid problems of that era, but they are very nice. ---

[quote=“Violator,post:4,topic:29709"”] the LS is a completely dedicated design and breed of its own and no es or other compares [/quote] Yeah, I know…but I dont want another vehicle with a big engine. I need something more fuel efficient and a confortable ride that will be reliable for many years to come. ---

You currently drive a Toyota Carrola(Prizm) as a DD, so you should have a general idea on how reliable Toyota’s are. ---
