1990 Lexus ES250 review from North America
"Chicks Dig A College Boy In A Lexus..."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Reverse Gear Worn Out - Entire transmission dismantled to fix reverse (due to front-wheel drive) - cost $1,850 to fix.
Blew Exhaust Pipe From Manifold To Catalytic Converter - cost $350 to fix.
General comments?
This car is flat-out dope. I bought it for 4500 and even though I have had to put a lot of money into it, it's been completely worth it.
Car handles great, turning radius isn't very sharp though.
Very quick acceleration, fully loaded, black with chrome details.
The thing is a Lexus. Enough said. I am 21-years old and I own a Lexus. I love it.
