Except for wear and tear that I have to take care of since I owned the car, there was nothing wrong with it. It is a beautiful car that never disappointed, not even for once.
It is the best car I ever owned. I paid so little for it and it has lasted me this long. I still drive it till now. I just need a newer car.
These cars are the most unreliable of any Lexus. Bought one for my daughter for her first car and the car lasted 6 weeks and the motor went. Car had 94,000miles. I decided id just buy her a newer IS300. I've driven Lexus since 1998 when I moved up from Toyota. All other Lexus are amazing.
I own a ES250 in Holland (Europe).
It's one of the most rare Lexus over there (from a former US Ambassador) and I've got attention by every dealer (Toyota ore Lexus) witch even didn't knew there were such models.
I've bought the car with 150.000 Miles on it and it's running like it shout be, just great.
Performence aren't great for such a car, my 30 yo. Mark II will run almost as fast to the 60 Mph.
But I really love the looks, it's just an old-school luxury saloon with it's own face.
If you can buy one, do it, parts are still available and it's the first Lexus (besides the LS400) ever made!!
