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

Greg - Your Car Angel shares why the Lexus ES 300, ES 330 and the ES 350 are the best used Luxury cars to buy. High quality parts, high quality Japanese manufacturing make this the most reliable sedan you can buy. Put those together with highway miles and you get a car with very high miles. 596,000 miles is ultra high mileage. All the older 2002-2006 ES cars were built in Japan. The American and German manufacturers could not match the quality of the Lexus product.

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.

[@cbro777]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@scottrauth8219]

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 :)

I have a 2008 ES350, it has 180k as of last week, all I have replaced is a coil pack. Everything else is original. I absolutely LOVE MY LEXUS! I will for sure buy another ES, they're just too good. Keeping up with the preventative maintenance, it has been quite solid. Like you said, the suspension gets quite soft after about 150k, but it still drives great.

[@ToyotaCelicaDude1]

@Jonathan McCully I have to agree, especially the 2007 models. They were definitely not nearly as reliable as previous ES's. I feel like around 2009 is when they cleared up most of the drivability issues at least, they definitely didn't fix the dash melting problem until 2013. My 2008 has 180k, it has been a fantastic car. Keep up on maintenance and it'll outrun any domestic or German vehicles (at least in cost of long-term ownership). Original engine and transmission, still purrs!
