It is so incredibly reliable! If you don't crash and total the car, it will last forever! 220000+ miles and still running great.
My car is 18 years old, has 220000+ miles and is still in fantastic condition! It runs great and has had very little work done. Super reliable. It also has some nice features like sunroof and heated seats.

My Lexus is safe and reliable.
I like my Lexus es300 because its reliable. It is great on gas and mileage and it rides smooth and looks great. It has a great security system and airbag system. I have no complaints.

Had it for years! Keep it well tuned and clean and you can enjoy it for a long time
Love my Lexus. Love the smooth ride and comfortable interior. The seats adjust nicely, plenty of legroom for passengers and plenty of trunk space for shopping trips!

It will last a long time if the regular maintenance is done as scheduled.
No complaints after 19 years. Comfortable and spacious interior. Low maintenance costs. Still rides well.

Good driving car with great overall endurance
I love this vehicle. It is very dependable. My mechanic says that it is in great shape. It handles very well. It is a luxury car so it drives with comfortable amount of slack in the steering. The leather has held up very well. The only seat that is messed up is the driver seat and steering wheel. The gas flap has broken; it doesn't shut as it should.

The speaker... Sound quality
As nice Bose sound speakers, It as cruise control, very functional v6 engine. A reliable open roof. It comfortable. The ES absorbs bumps very well and yet the body stays solid. The cabin is quiet and luxurious, and the front seats are very comfortable.

She's tough and will keep on going.
Like the body style. Like the way it drives. Have no dislikes.

Reliable vehicle. Proud representation of taste.
Fast cars get around faster. Strong enough to last for the benefit of replacing brand new. Big engines that will not need no going to the mechanic. A car for the purpose of entertaining friends and colleagues. Car that'll reproduce the quality of a fast car. Very reliable for confidentiality.

Old Lexus probably on its last legs
Bad Brakes and cam sensor. Everything else is adequate. Lots of miles but these cars can last with proper maintenance.

My 2000 Lexus es 300 review.
I haven't had any problems or I'd the car. It is very reliable and performs great as well. Very comfortable and fun to drive. It an older car so the features are not very advanced, but it does have heated seats, power windows and locks. All work great.
accountCircle Steven C
Has good quality finishes and great power and comfort.
Good, sturdy car but small, expensive things malfunction.
accountCircle Daevon J
On the gear shift, there's a button that says o/d. If you press the button it makes the car go a lot faster
When I brought the car it was really nice, It has heated seats and the radio system is really nice. The only problems I have had with the car is breaks, for some reason the brakes don't last very long for this car

It's an enjoyable ride with a great sound system
I enjoy the smooth ride and the speaker system is really great. I don't really care for the look of the car. The turning radius feels too large, and the audio adjustment with CD playback can be annoying.

The only problems I have run into is burning oil. Other than that the engine and transmission perform wonderfully.

My vehicle had a few previous owners and when I got it I had to replace the coils and a little work on the exhaust system but it is almost 20 years old, which is older than my oldest daughter

Is The 2000 Lexus ES A Good Value?

I bought mine for $1800 when it had 170000 miles on it and I would say that it is a good value for what I have gotten out of it.

I always buy used and I think that a new Lexus is outrageously priced but a used one if purchased from the right party is perfect for anyone
