I have this generation Lexus ES300, same color and engine but manual transmission which is rare af (just like the one in hoovies garage). Its a 92 with manual, they were available for 2 years only (92-93). I got lucky enough to snatch it in 2018 for just $600 with just bad ECU. Previous owner thought it was something major but sourcing the ECU was not an easy task itself since its different from the auto. I still have her and will never let her go. Best era of ES300s!
@@fortheloveofnoisewouldn’t be expensive but would take alot of planning and thinking. I’d suggest go for a 97 to 01 trans. Would run u up a good 1-3k for a good trans
@@cryptochameleon Car prices are higher Bc of Biden too? 😂 no…presidents don’t control car sales…gas prices…shelves at stores aren’t empty Bc of a president…trucks aren’t being driven Bc of a president…It’s ALL related to COVID. And when I said “thanks Biden” I believe it was Bc that stimulus bought the car lol if I remember correctly 🤔
I have the same year Lexus that I bought for $150 with 304K on the clock. It has minor front end damage and the leather interior is no bueno 😬 Needs new struts, engine mounts, tires, timing belt kit, has CEL P1600, and lots of TLC. Engine and transmission runs smooth with no issues 😁
Would you recommend this as a first car? And are the insurance premiums for it higher compared to other similarly priced cars from the era (90s camry, accord, etc...)?
So changes from car to car and photo/video client that I'mshooting for. I mostly used Cars and Bids for stuff from this era. Some of of the older stuff goes to either Bring a Trailer or Hemmings. There are a few newer sites I've yet to try. I'm going to start listing the videos about the day each auction goes live and note in the video which platform it's for sale on.
@@ThePhotographersGarage that would be fantastic, I’m always looking for a nice let’s say vintage car from the early 90s, btw your cinematography is awesome!
@@hardikpatel4980 Well then follow along here. I've got a sweet Japanese sedan from the mid 1990s that I'll be posting up a video of soon which will go live on Cars and Bids at the same time. Subscribe to make sure you catch it when it's up and available.
Digging this silent car reviewer thing. There needs to be more of this imo.

How expensive would it be to swap a 92 auto to manual?

Best looking ES.
Wow very mint for the year. It was definitely taken care of
I like how open these older cabins were.
These cars are so well made. Still classy.
Indeed they are, mine is mint. And only 153k on it. It’s a 98, love it man. Just put new 18s and tires on the old girl too. Thanks Biden! 🤣

Imagine equipping this 1994 Lexus with a modern day Mark Levinson speakers 😂😂
And dynamat to improve insulation and quiet the cabin even more!

Great first car! Insurance should be cheap, parts are easy and everywhere. Keep oil and water in it and you're good to go
I have a 2003 model I bought it real dirt cheap I'm going to restore it
How’s the car been doing 3 years later?
Is this car going on C&B soon?
You know what, C&B actually rejected it. I ended it up selling it to a buyer here locally.
What other platforms other then C&B do you list your cars?

Why TF would someone move the badge from the boot to the tail light?
That's actually the factory placement for the "es300" nameplate
Thats factory placement
This comment makes me wonder if it was different in some markets.
Sound just like my old girl
