Vehicle Detail
Condition: The car is in very good condition overall. The issues with the condition are as follows: power antenna doesn't go up and down but makes noise like it's trying (it might need cleaning or replacement). There is slight rust on right side around wheel wells (see photos). The driver's seat is a bit worn (see photo) other seats are great. The driver's side sun-visor has mirror on it that is cracked, passenger side is fine. All 4 Michelin tires are in very good condition. It starts and runs very nicely. The oil has been changed regularly. Features: The car is a beautiful pearl white with beige leather interior. It has a powerful but very economical 6-cylinder 3.0L engine. It has a power moon-roof (slides back and tilt feature), and it works great. I checked the mileage about a year ago on one tank. It averaged 24 mpg, with more than 2/3 of that in city driving. The car is loaded, and all is working except the power antenna - which has the issue mentioned above. I'm not sure, but I believe the two main features beyond the standard 1996 Lexus ES300 are the traction control feature and driver and passenger heated seats - which work really well - and are especially nice in the winter. I believe all the other features are standard for this vehicle including: Premium Lexus Sound System including a 6-speaker stereo, 6-CD changer/player, cassette deck, AM, 1/2 FM (12 presets). It has an automatic 4-speed overdrive transmission with a power/economy transmission mode switch, traction control, ABS power brakes, power steering, power windows (with child lock), power door locks (also with child locks), power seats (both front seats full power tilt, and height adjustable), automatic temperature control (set temp), cold A/C, power heated fold-in paint-matched side-view mirrors, tilt steering wheel, fine-adjust cruise control, delay (mist-control) wipers, front cup-holders, front and rear center armrests, lockable glove-box, front armrest console, lockable pass-thru door from interior to trunk (behind armrest in rear seat) allows for longer items, skis, etc. and a passenger-side sun visor flip-open lighted mirror. It has remote key unlock/lock with a volume control feature. It comes with the original first-aid kit (see trunk photo) as well as all four Lexus factory floor mats (replaced about 3 years ago). History: We are the second owner. We've owned the car for 10+ years. It has all original paint and interior. It's never been in an accident. We are selling it because we purchased a newer Lexus ES350 from a private party. It has been a great car for us. Shipping and Payment: $500 deposit required within 24 hours.
