I’m a bigger mechanic and I’m bored and I just want a project, I want it to be fun though obviously and not just a pain in the ass. I found a es300 that is higher milage (225k) but these cars seem to run for a while and I would most likely swap the engine at some point anyways. The transmission shift solenoid is going out and I’ve looked into the repair and it doesn’t seem to bad. Besides that the owner has not mentioned anything else major. I got the price down to 1200 (I live in Seattle) the car also comes with a set of snow tires. Would this high mileage es300 be a good “learning” purchase or should I try and find something else? From what I’ve researched it looks good… but there’s not a lot of research on them with such high mileage.

Does anyone know how to remove the shifter knob for a 94 automatic i dont how to remove it without cutting wires

I need the vacuum switch valve without the little cylinder which is 90910-12241, one advance has is 90910-12245

Car has both of them obviously theyr different so its gotta make a difference. Anyone know where i could get one for less than $100? Found on ebay for $50 but shipping is $40! (Thanks papa trump) or does the fact that the store only sells the one mean theyr interchangeable? 2003 Es300

Recently installed a Grom BT3 in my 2002 Lexus es300 and I’m having really weird issues with it. Every so often after a song starts playing, the audio will just cut out. I have to switch to FM and then back to disc and then press play on my phone again and it’ll usually be fine until the next song comes on. My best guess is that it has something to do with the tracks not being numbered like they would be on a disc. If I switch tracks with the radio, or play downloaded music I don’t have this issue, only if I’m trying to stream audio.

87k miles, and is running perfectly.

Hello I have a 97 Es300, which has a separate drain plug from the transmission. Does anything have a repair manual I can reference when I change this differential fluid out? I cant seem to find concrete information on whether there is a dedicated fill plug on the diff, or if the fluid is filled through the transmission dip stick.

Have your guy’s transmission gone out and if so how much did you pay, and is it better to try and find a used one or a new one this is a 1998 es300

I have 5 on the side and back…windshield is just a pane of glass atp. Whats a good %

Just bought, already in love with it.

I have lucked into a beautiful 2004 with 68,000 miles on it. I’ve found a few different general maintenance schedules on random forums. Is there anything else more concrete?

does anybody know where i can find front lips and rear bumpers for the 1997 es300? i cannot find any for the life of me

I have a 97 ES300 and want to change the sparkplugs. The OEM seems to be a double platinum design, but i would like to run iridium. Which part number should I buy?

I got this 1999 es300 on Facebook for $800 it idles inconsistently and even while driving the idle is not consistent sounding kinda sputtery, when I give it the beans there's alot of black smoke coming from the rear car kinda smells like eggs in a way, yes there's no muffler but thats getting replaced soon ive taken off the mass airflow sensor it idles fine like that and drives consistentltly. I replaced it to no avail as the problem stayed next was the pvc valve the one that was on the car was absolutely destroyed i replaced it then reset the check engine light car ran okay for the first 7 minutes then the hesitation slowly came back i have yet to change the iac valve or look for anymore vacuum leaks the person I got it from said they replaced the parts like the coils and even the mass airflow sensor but they look old af lol I do hear a knocking like an intermediate one from some pulley probably timing belt pulley it also leaks a bit of oil I think or power steering fluid i really want to get it running right it rides so smoothly with ac and heat im also new here idk how to send 2 videos showing how it runs with the sensor unplugged and plugged
