1997 Lexus ES300 review from North America
"Reliable, Classy, Looker... GREAT VALUE!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I hated it.
General comments?
This is probably the best used car I have bought. I bought it at 114,000 miles and it hasn't given me any trouble since. I have always liked Japanese cars, but I have a new-found respect for Lexus engineering.
If you want to buy a used car that is reliable, classy, a looker and a performer... I honestly don't know a better car to get than Lexus.
Buy German New.
Buy Japanese Used.
That is my motto. I can't buy German yet, so the used Japanese cars do it for me as of now.
