    The ES300 is basically a Camry V6. They are quite good vehicles, other than the obvious, there's nothing special to look out for that I can think of.

    Check out www.seloc.net your local Lexus club.
    The93 ES is very reliable. Make sure it got regular oil changes. Also at 130k, make sure it got a new timing belt. The lights on the inside may dim and the leather may have cracked.
    There are aftermarket parts but not much and they are all from Japan. Its rare to see a hooked up ES but it can be done.

    thanks i did a carfax on the car and found out it had regular oil changes and emissions screenings...as well as its fair share of accidents to the rear end...in 1997 when it went for emissions it had 87k miles on it...in 1998 when it went for emissions it had 30k miles...kinda weird how that happens...total loss vehicle with salvage title...IF ANYONE LIVES IN NORTH GEORGIA AND HAPPENS TO LOOK AT A 1993 LEXUS ES300 GOLD IN COLOR IN FANNIN GILMER OR UNION COUNTIES DO A CAR FAX ON IT BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY DECISIONS!!!!!!

    I hope this means that you aren't getting it.
