    Fellow ES300 owner here. You bought the best edition of the 3rd generation ES, congrats and enjoy it!

  • @thagerdorn2009
    @thagerdorn2009 Před 2 lety +12

    I've had 5 of these cars. I absolutely love them. They are dead reliable, super comfortable and great driving cars. In 99, they had the Coach edition with the Coach leather and special wheels which were only on the 99 Coach and they never used them again. Then in 2000, they had the Platinum Series which was a one year only. Then in 2001 for the final year, they had the Coach edition again and it had the same wheels from the platinum series. There was one option that most people never ordered and that's the Nakamichi sound system. It blows the standard pioneer out of the water. My 99 Coach had it, and my current platinum series has it. They are the only two I've ever seen with the nakamichi. That's a big reason I bought my platinum because it's such a rare car being a one year only platinum and nakamichi. The platinum package was over 3k dollars and the nakamichi was also over 3k dollars which is why a lot of people never ordered it with it. I also had a 98 with 451k miles original engine and trans, service records to the moon from the dealer and mostly highway. I had 2 2001s same color and both suffered from the dreaded knock sensor issue. The 451k mile car was back in 2016 and it's still on the road today. I believe all are still on the road. My dad donated the 99 Coach to his church and I don't know where it is now. For everyone who says this is a rebadged Camry...you're VERY wrong. There is hardly anything that's the same as a Camry and it's not the same chassis as well. They share a few parts but Lexus vehicles back in the day were made with quality and development and research and care.

      I agree with savysac. You got a really good price. I bought mine in 2013 with 93k miles on it for $7,000 incl. tax/fees. Year 2000 Platinum Edition with the Nakamichi sound. Prior to this one I had the same exact car/trim but with 126k miles (insurance ponied up $5,500 after declaring total loss)

    This was a very good review of this car. I've always wondered what differences this has with my 2001 Toyota Camry Gallery Series V6 with 111,000 miles. Obviously the Camry is a downgrade but I still wanted to know all the features this had in case I wanted to upgrade someday to this ;) and you did a good job showing them all.

My AC was working Great then the Light came on and must me the Magnetic Clutch Relay gone bad. I Guess. 148,000 miles and put a New Timing Belt all New Coil Packs , Plugs etc . Was running good Until the AC Light coming on. Under Your hood the Fuse and Relay Box looks just like mine. I pray it is Only the MG-CLT Relay is All I will Need.

    Is it a good idea to buy one of these now with 200k miles on it?

    Hi. I would like to know about the transmission. Is it smooth? Whats RPM is it on about 60mph? The car is noisy at this speed?

      Leonardo Ribeiro the transmission is very smooth. 60mph is at 2300rpm or so, the gears are very long. This is one of the quietest cars i have ever owned.

    Wow, best review of my car yet. I have a question, do you think it's hard on the engine to keep overdrive on at all times?

    • @baclieustud
      @baclieustud Před 8 lety +1

      +BigMikeSmoovee Actually,,it's hard on the engine if you don't keep it on all the time..OVERdrive function is to keep the Rev down when you're in no need to haul ass...

      +Bruce Truong Ahh gotcha, so when I need to haul ass turn it off then?

      Pushing that button turns overdrive off. It's good if you're going up a hill while doing about 45-60mph and you don't want the trans to shift back and forth.

      +MikeDunn Wow thanks man. You're honestly the biggest help I've got on this. I appreciate it.

      Sure thing, but the funny part is that someone in a V6 Lexus, Camry, etc. might not find it necessary to use it often. However, it comes in handy for me with my little 2002 Corolla.

    Does this VVTi engine have a lot of valve lifter noise?
    I'm wondering if this is common or if my 2000 ES300 needs a valve adjustment or something else.
    Thanks for the video.

    • @ArthurR

      I've never had any issues with the valve lifter in mine. Try using synthetic oil next time and see if the problem persists. Otherwise, a valve adjustment will be needed.
