596,000 Miles - Why the Lexus ES is the Best Used Mid-Sized Sedan 

Scotty Kilmer approves this message.

Lexus and Toyota's reputation for reliability is truly unmatched in the industry. Those vehicles are built like tanks.

I worked at Lexus 9 yrs and I approve this message.

I know someone in Southern California who makes $400-600k per year and just bought this Lexus for reliability. He wanted to buy something new at a dealership but he felt he was getting ripped off through the sales process and just went out and got this. I think he made a smart choice after seeing this video!

2007 ES350 white/tan, I bought it used from Lexus certified at 45K mi. and 2 yrs old for $23K. Today, it's 229K and still run like new. I love it very much.

Rev up your... Oh, wrong channel

Since it was new, I have owned a 2003 Lexus IS300. By far, the most reliable car I have ever owned. 317k miles on it and still going as strong as ever. It has never given me any problems. Toyota/Lexus is the unquestioned leader of reliability in the car industry. PERIOD.

I own one - 2006 model ES 330 and wouldn't trade it for the world. They are trouble free and never break down.

This is the truth I own a 2002 Lexus es300 bought it for$1,600 .... thought it would be a lemon.. man this thing is a beast..at 17 years old it rides smooth as butter I bought it in the summer and I'd crank up that ac...and like in no time that thing would be blistering cold.. the premium sound system is amazing and it doesn't look out of date compared to like some late model Hyundai or Nissan.. gas mileage is solid and its completely quiet.. it's the best thing I've ever bought for 1,600 dollars.

I own a 2004 Lexus ES 330 & have 442,448 miles. Excellent vehicle. I still love the engine.

Just bought a 2004 es for $4700 with 124,000 miles. This video made me appreciate my purchase even more

I’m in my 20’s and I recently purchased a 2005 ES330. I wanted something durable, that I could take road trips in, but still nice. This video + the reviews are so reassuring! I recently took a road trip to MS to visit family and it was the best experience! I haven’t had one issue! I got the oil changed about 2 weeks ago! I’ll be happy to come back and share my amazing Lexus story with you guys once I put some more love and experience into her!! Cheers!🥳🌟💫

Toyota focuses on quality, GM and FCA focus on short term profits. Guess who wins in the long run?

Meanwhile my buddy's BMW blew a head gasket at 70,000 miles

I like watching videos that make me feel good about my Lexus 😁

I have a 2000 Avalon with 307,000 miles, got it at 203,000. It needs some tlc but that sucka still runs like a champ.

**Meanwhile, somewhere in North Carolina or Florida, a low mileage Chrysler just saw its last moments**

That is the single most amazing thing I have ever seen! Nearly 600k and it looks BRAND NEW show me any other car in the world like this!!! Lexus is the gold standard of reliability

I just purchased a 2003 Lexus ES 300 white pearl with 43,000 original miles. The vehicle was elderly owned in Naples, Florida. I purchased it for 10,900. I hope to get a lot of use out of it.

Proud Lexus owner here! and I can say that nothing beats the quality build and long term performance of my 2005 ES330!!! Amazing car

I just bought a 1997 Lexus es300 with 308k miles for $500. Now at 480k miles with a little powersteering and engine oil leak. Still running like a champ. Never once broke and left me stranded compare to my 2011 bmw 3 series. I love it. I'm trying to run it to the ground and this thing won't die!

I bought a 2005 ES330 that has now 58k miles from an old lady who drove it only 4k miles a year, I took it to the dealer for check up and they were amaze that the car is in such excellent condition. I only used the car on weekends and drive it on the freeway and it runs and even still smells brand new.

Thanks watching this video is the reason I went and bought a used es300 . Everything you say is absolutely the truth about this car. The drive is smooth , just lovely

Your channel is one of my go to car channels. Tops in quality and accurate information. If people valued strait talk and wisdom you would have 840k subs. Simply confounding that you don't have more subs. But I count on and appreciate your videos.

I have a 2003 es300 with 260k and it still drives and looks like new. I’m gonna replace it with another es when I graduate college because I know it’s gonna be reliable and last forever

This car is a testament to three things. 1 Toyota craftsmanship and reliability. 2 the previous owner (s) took great care of it! 3 warm climate. The weather here in the Midwest makes it impossible for even Lexus to make it that high in miles.

I had bought a 2004 Highlander after I starting watching your channel and have been very impressed with it,it still drives like a brand new car😁

I've got a 2005 ES 330 with 280,000 miles. Great condition, smooth, quiet, amazing car.

A used IS or ES is the one of the best kept secrets on the used car market.

We have a 2002 ES300. All that's been done were struts, alternator water pump and timing chain.. still, not bad for a 17 year old car.. runs great. We also have a 2000 Lexus LS400. 250,000 miles and a very powerful car still..

Made me feel really good about my latest purchase last March, a 2002 Lexus ES300 with 38K miles for $9500. Keep up the good work.

Hello Greg. Last year my step-mother gifted me her "old" 2003 ES300, with 36,000 miles on the odometer! She is the typical older lady who drove the car to the store and back. A wonderful gift and I love the upgraded wooden accents inside and buttery leather seats, like the one featured here. No highway miles but it now gets an occasional 100 mile freeway trip. Thank you for this posting.

I have an 05 ES330 with every available option on it. Nav, power Rear sun shade, sport tuning suspension, rain sensing wipers, 17’ 6 spoke chrome rims, heated and ventilated seats, adjustable pedals, etc. I absolutely love it. Bought it a year ago with 182k miles, now have 203k on it. So comfortable and smooth, the previous owner babied it, as do I. It looks immaculate inside and out, and i intend to keep it that way for as long as I can. Drives like its brand new, it’s just an impeccable car. Edit: holy crap DCH Lexus of Oxnard?!? I’ve been there a million times! I usually service at Lexus of Woodland Hills or Thousand Oaks however lol. Also go up to DCH Lexus Santa Barbara all the time! edit now 250k on mine. No issues. Just serviced and got a clean Bill of health EDIT: currently at 315,000 Miles, but I hit a deer ☹️☹️☹️, getting it fixed because this car needs to live on!

I bought a 2007 Avalon limited with 194,000 miles to keep the miles down on my 2010 FJ Cruiser... wife's car is 2010 Camry SE with 120,000 Miles...... Love that Toyota/Lexus Quality!!!

I will own one, Lexus is my favorite brand. Had most brands over the years and have enjoyed several Toyotas. Lexus is Toyota on steroids. I bet that Lexus still drives like a brand new car too.

After 30 some years owning and driving more than a dozen of Toyotas and Lexus including 2 LS’s, I would totally agreed with The cash Angel channel here. Excellent reviews as usual, always spot on. A true highly cars knowledgeable person.

I agree. I have a 2005 ES330 which just turned over 250,000 kilometers, I am in Canada. I bought it in 2007 and it has been serviced by mileage (as opposed to time) by the local Lexus dealership. I just have a bit of rust on the door dividers and a spot on one rear wing which I will have fixed in the summer. As you said the interior is perfect.

Thanks for sharing your experience in your videos! A little about Toyota quality: I live in Bangkok and my brother in law runs a small taxi business with eleven cars. All of them Toyota Corolla Altis. They're all converted to LPG In Bangkok the city allows all cabs to be used maximum 9 years. Each cab runs about 200000 km per year. So when it's time for retirement of the car the odometer shows around 1800000 km. (approx 1,125,000 miles) They never swap engines or transmission, just ordinary service. Oil and filter is changed every 10000 km. Normally there are no problems with these cars. Everything is working. The traffic is terrible in Bangkok and it's very hot and humid After retirement many cabs are used as a private car and continues to work. So, yes the quality is amazing.

That car needs to be put away in a museum! The shape that thing is in with that many miles is astonishing! Only a Lexus I tell you

On JANUARY 8, 2000 .... i purchased a Pre-owned .... 1994 Toyota Celica GT 5 Speed Manual .... had just over 52,000 miles then. As the 2nd HAPPY owner... I have driven my 1994 Celica since January 8, 2000... with great success and simple to maintain...and FUN !! Today is OCTOBER 24, 2019 ..... and I now have 227, 840 Miles on it and it still runs strong as ever .... FLAWLESS PERFORMANCE !!!!!!

I have a lexus ls430 2001. My car has 296000 miles. No major problems at all. I just replaced radiator at 250000 miles. Just regular maintenance brake pads, timing belt, water pump, serpentine belt spark plugs and pulleys. This car are built like a tank every mechanic says it can go till pass 500000 miles.

When it comes to a car lasting 600k miles, you also gotta mention having a good driver. You don’t have a 600k mile car in good condition by having a driver that beats on it and doesn’t maintain it well

Please do more sharings like this..i love the way u represent urself on these cars

My '98 LS400 is 21 yo this month and still perfect. Over the years it has cost me next to nothing in repairs...just the usual wear items like tires, batteries, wipers. It's a joy to drive. Strangers still stop to ask whether it might be for sale! No one EVER did that when I was driving Mercedes...which left me stranded 3X despite superb maintenance.

And the best thing about this Lexus? It has sensibly sized wheels for a smooth ride, optimum fuel economy and much lower tire replacement costs. #SaveSideWall

I can tell the owner is not fat. Look at the seat.

This video helped me to pull the trigger on a 2007 ES350 even though I prefer to avoid first-year models. Found one with 18,033 miles that looks brand new, and it already has nearly 37,000 miles a few months later.

Of course I'll give you a thumbs up because I enjoyed very much thank you this is awesome!

Bought a 2007 es350 last year, amazing car drives like a cloud. Only failure point is that of the perforated leather (not conditioned by previous owner). That and some of the trim on top of the rear panoramic roof window is coming off. However it does not leak( been a year) and could be easily fixed with a little silicone or flex seal.

Thanks for you videos. You've helped me at being much better at buying used cars!!! I've been hunting for a used Lexus or Toyota Sienna too.

Your car angel thanks for another quality video🙏

I probably drove more than 30 different cars, SUVs, and pick-ups. Nothing beats this beautiful machine! Loved the smooth ride!

Love the quietness of it and the plush soft ride. As you’re getting older you don’t want sporty firm ride no more. For that, I have a bike to take me from 0-60 in less than 3 seconds on the cheap ;)

i had a 2008 es350 with 160,000 miles, suspension was soft and ran great but had few recalls for gumy dashboard, air bag malfunction, water pump leaked.

Absolutely beautiful!! Wow, over half a million miles - enjoyed the video, I subbed 😊😊

I bought a GX470 from DCH Lexus of Oxnard. I had a minor technical issue with it. I was blown away with how amazing their service department was. If they were local to me I would definitely bring my LS460 in there for service all the time but they are like a 2 hour drive for me!

600,000 miles. It is barely broke in. It should be good for a million?

If it weren't for the miles, you'd think the car was garaged for most of its life and barely driven.

i’ve had my 03 for 5 years! it’s got 167,000 miles and i love it so much

I drive our familys 2002 Lexus es300. It hasn't had a single repair beyond an oil change needed, its really amazing!

You have a great Channel Greg but I'd like to see you post more videos

I own a 2003 es300 with 239,000 miles on it. Original transmission, well maintained. Did replace air compressor and timing chain and a few o rings. But other than oil changes, tires and brakes as needed, it’s still running GREAT :)

incredible way of keeping the truth value of luxury...l have a 2009 Nissan Armada limited it's truly truly truly incredible honestly at 200.201miles with that being said l truly truly respect the true value of a Great car or truck or SUV..it's about it last longer and appreciate what you have..Thanks again..l enjoy your channel..

Got a 2006 ES330 reaching 195K, still driving like a champ. Excellent luxurious vehicle.

I have a 2011 Toyota Camry LE with 673200 miles and still runs like a clock, oil changed at 7000 miles and maintenance done by myself and the engine wasn’t even touched

GS 350 is also very good. AWD, great handling, I love mine!

I just bought a 2006 ES330 with only 73400 miles. Thank you for validating my decision! My previous car was a 2018 RAV4 Limited.

3 years ago I readed this car for another Lexus, today I miss this car dearly..owned it for 4 years, no issues whatsoever!

Lexus is all about quality quality quality quality quality quality from day one amazing cars to have when Toyota started making cars They promised the world 🌎 that there quality will always be the best and since then never changed and Lexus IS on the same level of quality thank you Toyota for been aunist to your customers Made in Japan means best quality and that’s for sure

when I bought mine, I clearly thought about a car I could drive until the wheels fall off. I love my 15 y.o. lexus.

Thank you so much. Am buying 2009 lexus at work . The males co worker were trying to talk me out of it . To keep it for them self. Thanks to your video . I am not going to change my mind .

Ok, I have watched your videos for years and tonight I noticed the 4:20 clock thing! I stopped looking after I found it in 4 videos!

Japan has simply made the world a more reliable place. Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Suzuki, Isuzu, Daihatsu, Mitsubishi, Nissan (until it's marriage to the French dinosaur Renault), Kawasaki, Yamaha, Sony, Canon, Nikon, Hitachi, Panasonic, Fuji, Subaru, Citizen, Seiko.... what a country! What manufacturing!

Cool video, that great 3.0 V6 1MZFE engine and the just as good E153 4-speed automatic transmission.

My ES330 has 118k and has had next to no problems (other than maintenance from natural wear and tear). Talk about a GOOD car, I’m getting ready to put it up for sale too. I’ve worked hard to keep her so nice!

I got my 2005 Lexus 330 with 270,000 miles. We're still going strong. She runs so smoothly and the looks so nice inside and out

Lexus makes a great car. I literally didn't have to change my brake pads until I had driven 90k miles. No joke, and they still had space to go.

312k on my 1987 Toyota Supra the day i sold it. Engine still purred like the day i bought it.

I own one like the one you show. Its the best vehicle I ever owned. I live in the snow belt and it doesn't have any rust.

Just bought a Lexus 2014 ES 350 and I love it!

You have to respect that mileage, and it looks like it could reach 1M miles!!!

I love Lexus, so well made

This car is like rolex watch, you can give it to your kids & be happy.

Great video illustration

Even though a Camry in disguise, Toyota is still a precision auto. I had 4 Camrys especially the 1994, which is an icon. Rock on Toyo. .

Things been around earth around 22 times...looks amazing.

I have a 1993 es300 and it still runs and drives awesome 👌

I've always noticed that the early 2000s and mid-2000s headlights look super nice on most of the old Lexus models on the road, crazy

Great video. I have a 2014 ES, the last year the model is assembled in Japan. Hope it last as long

Proud owner of GX470, and I know this one is one of your favourites

I'm purchasing a used one for 3,500 with 155k miles on it. I'm hoping after I give it some love I'll be able to keep it running for 500k miles.

Thanks for the video.

How do you qualify 2002 - 2006 were the best quality years? I agree, and even my 04 LS430 is well built. But the 90's were no slouch either.

The Camrys of this generation have the same powertain, less luxurious but I would imagine just as well built.

Enjoy your videos,and info.

Thanks! I'm about to buy the same car now in 2022!

I have 2006 ES 330, looks just as good, interior is still perfect, runs great, no problems, Florida car 215, 000 miles , other than tires and brakes I never did anything to it, finally got tired of the CD player and tape deck so I took it out and put in a new stereo with touch screen blue tooth, then I blew the old door speakers, so that's the project for next weekend.

love the ES300 simply because of that red wood interior. When they went to the ES330 they went with a lighter wood & the interior just doesn’t have that same pop

Just gambled on 2007 ES with 151,000 miles. Hope it last a long time. The car is amazing so far.

Dame this video make get one these for work. I love mine for real
