1990 Lexus ES250 from North America - Comments

"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.

A V6- 4 Cylinder, huh? A first for the automotive world. But I must agree with the fact that chicks dig the college guy-Lexus thing. Since the first day my ES300 has turned heads. I was barely 20 when I bought my first, and I am convinced for life.

Wow!!! It's surprising how much difference a name can make. (in regards to chick magnets) I own the exact same vehicle, only mine says Toyota Camry. :P I know it is the exact same vehicle, because the Lexus ES250 has the exact same engine and chassis as the 1990 Toyota Camry V6LE.

Any chicks that are dumb enough to be attracted by an old, glorified Camry (yuck)...well, you can have them.

I rather like the girls that are attracted to my '94 BMW that was the same amount of money as your Lex. My BMW has only 115,000 miles on it too and it looks just like it came out of the showroom. VALUE RULES! No timing belt to replace either on the BMW, I went through that ordeal with my Sterling that had the Acura V6.

Chicks dig your 1990 ES250. Haha what school do you go to. I drive a 99 SC400 and the chicks love it, but I don't see how they would like a ES250. I guess they only care about the name. I'm hooked on Lexus for life. Best car I could have bought for $15,000 with only 35,000 miles. Older couple owned and only drove it once in a while. They said cause of the gas mileage. I get about 20mpg overall. My old Lexus was salvaged an LS400. It had 220,000.

You guys should quit hanging around the junior high schools. Pick up your chicks somewhere else.

Yooo c'mon now, I also sport a ES250 (20 years old)...but the important thing is it's a Lexus... truth be told, most girls couldnt tell if it's a 90-91 es250 or the new Lexus IS... the important thing is the name... i also find it to be a chick magnet, however I've done a lot of work on it to make it look and ride the way it does.. then again I could ride a bike and get the females to :p LOL... keep it clean fellas, we are all LEXUS lovers here for the most part.

An ES250 is just a Camry with Lexus badges and wood trim although chicks still love it cause it's a Lexus. I drive a 2002 IS300 and the chicks don't see a difference between my Lexus and my friends ES250. Its kills me to see him get the same amount of chicks I do. I got the car for my 16th birthday and it has been a chick magnet ever since. I drive my moms LS430 once in a while and chicks love that to, but they don't seem to notice the GX470 my dad drives. My family is a bunch of Lexus lovers. My grandparents, parents and brothers/sisters all drive Lexus. Best cars out there!

I also have an ES250, and let me tell ya, chicks dig the thing. I could get chicks without it, but I get "HONEYS" with this baby. LOL I have put minor work into it and I only paid 500.00 WOW. Best car for that price. I will definitely buy a Lexus when I go to buy a brand new car.
