Which used Lexus ES300 year should you buy?
The ES300 badge covers an older generation of the ES, since replaced twice over — first by the ES330, then by today's ES350 and ES300h. It is worth buying for low running cost and simplicity, provided the history is clean, rather than for the newest cabin.
How long does a Lexus ES300 last?
These come in with a median odometer around 97,000 km, moderate for a car of this age and consistent with steady use. Lexus's V6 saloons of this era have a strong reputation for running well past this distance on basic maintenance.
What else should you know about the Lexus ES300?
The Mercedes C200 is a similarly priced European alternative from the same era. The BMW 520 is a size up and has fewer mechanical faults than we would expect for the class. The Mini Cooper is a very different, smaller alternative at similar money.
What to look over on a used Lexus ES300
- Full service history, especially on a car this far down its price curve.
