1998 Lexus ES300 review from North America

None so far. Just general maintenance.

I am the second owner of this beautiful automobile. When picked up from a Toyota dealer, I instructed them not to wash the car and that I would take it as is. the only thing I asked the dealer was to remove the sticker on the window.

This 1998 Lexus ES300 was immaculate the first time I laid eyes on it. Since acquiring this car last year, I have performed your daily maintenance, oil change every 5000 miles using Royal Purple synthetic oil. At 75,000 miles, I had the transmission completely flushed and had it replaced with synthetic tranny oil from a Toyota dealership, it's cheaper. Otherwise, the car rides very very smoothly on or off the highway. Although my daily commute round trip is only 8 miles, I am very pleased with how this car drives. I have owned several cars before acquiring this Lexus. I must say that not even its age shows. As long as daily scheduled maintenance is performed, all is well. I am in the market for a station wagon. I truly wish the Lexus continued to make the IS 300 sportcross. I am looking at an Audi A4 Avant, but based on what I have read so far, it will cost me in the long run to keep an Audi. Hands down, if you can find a previously enjoyed Lexus, you will be very pleased and satisfied with your choice. Cheers.
