Used 2001 Lexus ES 300 for Sale

This car drives so smoothly. It's super quiet on the highway, and very comfortable. The engine is sporty and accelerates quickly, which in my opinion makes it much safer. The seats are very comfortable and all leather. I got this car used, and some of the leather is split at the seams, and the exterior isn't in great shape, but I still love this car. The six-CD changer was awesome back in the day. This car is sort of low to the ground, but I don't have too much trouble getting in and out of it. I'm a big guy. I'm 6'1" and weigh 245. Overall, the vehicle is good. I enjoy driving it and feel pretty safe in it. There honestly is just something about Lexus and they way they drive. I've owned Lexus vehicles before, and I love the comfort and suspension they offer. This car is no different.

Story

We drove it to a different state to babysit a brand-new nephew. It wasn't too far from where we live and was a nice experience.

Pros

This car has decent trunk space. The front two seats are powered, so they adjust very easily. It gets very decent gas mileage, considering it is a Lexus. I love to eat fast food, and this car is comfortable enough to just park and eat in. It is also capable enough to put a bike rack on and lug around two bicycles. I love how cool the A/C blows in this car. I get hot super easily, and this car always cools down quickly.

Cons

This car requires premium gasoline. It had to have the engine completely replaced a while ago and has had some issues with the brakes and power steering. It does not have heated or cooling seats, which is a bit of a bummer for a luxury car. The paint hasn't really held up well over the years, and the leather is splitting at the seams a little. That might be to the quality and strength of the materials they used to sew the seats together.

2001 Lexus ES 300 - The car that lasts forever.

This car is an excellent investment, for so many reasons. The body style is simple and classic, and fits all styles and personalities. The leather seats add luxury, and are a great addition when you are toting around kids that may be messy. Easy clean up. The seat warmers are a huge bonus on a chilly fall day, but the automatic windows and moon roof let you let in the nice afternoon breeze if that is more your style. Whether running to the store, packing for a family trip, or moving to a dorm room, the car supports a huge and accommodating trunk as well. The quality of this vehicle is outstanding. Mile after mile, year after year, this car runs like a dream, and never once had a serious issue. The only thing I could say I did not like about this car, was that it did not have controls f...

Story

This is the car that I took to college, and I drove when I got my first job. It made the travel from Arkansas, to Louisiana, and then to Georgia. It went through all the "big stuff" with me.

Pros

My favorite features on this were the automatic windows and moon roof, the 6 CD changers, the seat warmers, and the seat memory that accommodated 2 drivers preferences.

Cons

I would have liked to have more controls on the steering wheel.
