1999 Lexus ES300 from North America - Comments

Barely perceptible noise from the sunroof cover early on. Dealer (Mission Viejo, CA) was all over the problem immediately with two testers in the car with me. They could barely hear it, but promptly gave me an RX300 to drive while they replaced the entire sunroof ass'y. Only problem so far.

It's fast, very quiet and luxurious. All 4 C-Series owners I know readily admit that the ES is a very impressive car; all express regret that they didn't buy or lease one.

Local dealer service is great. Neighbor owns a Mercedes S500 and goes on and on about how great her service is. Listening to the details, it sounds like that great service is normal for a Lexus owner.

When I bought it I heard MANY comments regarding Camrys, but always from people who, for some reason, drove comparative junks. Biggest differences I'm aware of with respect to the XLE would be sound, styling, trim line-standard equipment and ride.

Totally agree, love every thing about the car, have owned the platinum for a year now and have had no problems, my only real complaint is the quality of the rear center subwoofer, of course I don't expect it to be awesome but I had to put a switch on it to cut the signal when I want to turn it up and rock with the windows down. Also talking about the windows, with out a window frame on the door I feel like I am going to break the window by accident, but it is all good. Planning on buying a new acura RSX for my son so he can quit bothering me to drive the lexus :)

Hi everyone.

I just purchased a 1999 ES300 Coach edition with less than 89,000 miles for 2 thousand less than retail value. The car is quite pleasing and I'm happy to join the group of Lexus owners in America. I plan on using this car for the next 5-10 years.

Just purchased a 1999 ES 300 with just under 44K. Coach edition. Like new top to bottom. I love it. Paid low PP blue book. An awesome deal for a luxury car that has at least 5-10 yrs problem free miles left on it.
