It needed new valve cover gaskets, grease on the timing belt, and an oil change but that was it. The car is incredibly clean and near mint. My mechanic went nuts when I showed it to him. It's the best car I've ever owned and I'm so grateful to have gotten it.

@@Shardayyy wow nice mine burns roughly 1 quart per 5k miles. my uncle scares the f out of me saying the engine will blow up any second but I reckon it will probably be a few years before it actually needs a new one lmao
Bought myself a Lexus es300 to daily because of Scotty. Never regretted it and drives very comfortably. Really reliable and good for me as a college student
I recently bought a 2003 Lexus RX 300 blue on the exterior beige on the interior!!!! It’s a wonderful vehicle so comfortable and smooth! Lexus built the repetition on smoothness and quietness this car is so smooth over bumps Buttery smooth!!!
I've got an RX300, too! 2003 is the best model year! Some people like the 330s but the 1MZ in the RX, ES, and Avalon easily shred past 400k miles! I've seen a Sienna with that engine break 600k.

My es300 is 21 years old--I've taken good care of it and it's still beautiful and luxurious to drive. People have left notes on the windshield asking to buy it.
With my 99 solara with the same 3.0 engine I've had multiple mechanics ask to buy it cause they know how long these things last build quality is so amazing on early 2000s late 90s toyotas/lexus
@@MrTD714 the Es300 is known to last well over 300,000 miles .same engine and tranny.. I plan on getting either an es300 from 99-03 or a camry..both are BULLETPROOF😎😎
Interiors are the easiest thing to maintain. I have a 1991 Peugeot, car's been in more wrecks than I have fingers to count and yet the interior is on-par with this Lexus.
It’s particularly easy to maintain leather interiors. I use Connolly Hide Care, (aka Bentley and Rolls-Royce’s Hide Food) every three months. It must be stored inside because it’s natural and needs to be in a tempered environment. This product gives the scent that British cars are known for and it’s amazing.
And I bet she said she’s gonna keep it forever. And I don’t blame her. Those old LS and SC were solid. Good friend of mine had a 94 SC400 that we used to ride to high school in. That car was so sweet. And for a 16 yr old kid, it was like having a Bentley
I bought a 2007 Lexus ES350 13 months ago on Scotty's recommendations... best darn car I've ever bought. 13 year old car and not 1 single problem with it. Changed the oil, transmission ATF, power steering fluid, and coolant. The thing truly does run like a clock! THANK YOU SCOTTY!!
The legend says that 5 billion years from now, when our Sun has begun to cool down and turn into a White Dwarf, the Lexus, that Scotty got for his wife way back in the 21st Century will still be running smoothly...🤔
It's a white dwarf! when our Sun runs out of hydrogen fuel, it will expand to becomea red giant, puff off its outer layers, and then settle down as a compact white dwarf star, then slowly cooling down for trillions of years.
Thanks for another update, Scotty!! I just bought myself a 2005 Lexus ES 330 after watching your videos, and I love this car!! I'm never gonna listen to car journalists' recommendations any more because all they care about how "fun" it is to drive and the 0-60 times. They don't know/care about maintenance costs and reliability.
I just discovered you! Love your posts! I have a 2004 Lexus RX 330. Just passed 200,000 miles. I had the timing belt changed , new water pump, new radiator, condenser all changed within the last 6 months. I’ll drive it another200,000 miles! All equipment still works! Best car I’ve ever had!!
My 1995 Lexus SC400 with 135,000 miles still runs like brand new. I get compliments on it all the time, and it looks damn sexy in red. I will never sell that car, and its built better than 95% of the cars that they sell today.
@@ha_ha-ha_ha The Lexus SC400 is a must own. I suggest getting a 1995-1996 model year. The previous owners had cared for the car extremely well, and it came with a stack of maintenance records done at the Lexus Dealership, and had the exhaust upgraded.. IMO, red is the best color and I looked all over the country to find the perfect red SC400. I love that car so much.
Scotty, you make me so happy to show the older model love. Mine is an 04 Es 330, but I 100% agree. I prefer how the older model looks, and I love to see you give it so much love
@@mkmh1054 I'm not sure, my dad had an 06 brand new and by the time he traded it in he had 350k miles or 553k kilometers. It was still running fairly well and didn't really have any issues I can remember
I was stationed in Japan when I was the Air Force and the Japanese take their jobs very seriously. I am not surprised that the Lexus lasts a long time.
yea me and several family members have drove them. they are great quailty!!! highest miles i seen on one was 280k and it still ran great when we got rid of it.
@@thatsavagekid4565 recalls are good. And systematic when they identify an issue down to the exact cars effected. What you don't want are cars with extra "character" IE Alfa Romeo all break down in different ways. No consistency
I've had to drop around $2k in repairs in just 3 years on my 1998 V8 Lexus GS400. I bought it for $3k with 200k miles on it. AC doesn't work, heated seats don't work, but at least there is little rust (was well maintained), and the motor and trannie are going strong. Can't see dropping $1,500 for a new AC compressor/repair though. Not sure what the heated seat repair would cost me. Just can't afford any more repairs. Hoping nothing else breaks anytime soon and hoping to get 400k+ miles out of it.
Preach it, Brother Scotty. As an owner of BMWs for several years prior to buying my '13 GS 350 (yes, it has the ugly grille, but not so glaringly bad as later models), I can say without a doubt that the GS is equal or better in most significant ways to a non-M Bimmer with WAY less anxiety-inducing dashboard lights coming on ... none have ever come on in the GS, in fact. Lexus truly makes outstanding cars.
260K on my 03 ES300. Best car I’ve ever owned. Never had any major issues to this day. My only gripe is the slow acceleration, but like Scotty said it’s not a race car.
My old 97 Es300 would shoot out the gate . Front wheel drive and took me no time to get to 30 from a dig. I would check my O2 sensors and spark plugs if i was you 🤝🏾
Me too...almost 200000 miles. Just had to replace radiator and a bunch of seals and belts. 3000 dollars at Toyota dealer. Well worth the expense for a 15yr old car.
It’s just one of those things that you know it’s worth to keep it,because other than just regular maintenance, I’m sure you could get 500,000 miles without any problem
That's because you SHOULD buy a Lexus! I bought a new one 3 yrs ago and, due to his advice and my experience, will always buy a used Lexus from now on.
@Todd m I'd never bought a Japanese car before now - only American & German. German cars are fabulous to drive, but they're bottomless pits when it comes to maintenance. My previous car was a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I loved it, but it has since become 6a "luxury SUV". For what it would've cost me to replace it, I could get a fully loaded Lexus RX 450h... so I did. I'm spoiled now! I'll probably never buy a new one again (per Scotty's advice), but I'm sold on Lexus. When I go to a Lexus dealership for service, I'm treated like royalty. In my 45 yrs of car ownership, no other dealership has ever treated me so amazingly well. I'm a Lexus owner for life!
@@ryanmalin It had all the automatic and power options and functions that any other modern luxury car would have today. 4L. V8, RWD, sexy boxy/curvy sedan not too big not too small, what's not to love? Sure they had some problems, but those 90's LS400's will always hold true if taken care of.
I just got a burgundy '03 ES 300....washed and waxed it, leathet lotioned the seats, armor all on all the plastic inside, spit shined the tires, and this baby is the sweetest and smoothest thing on the road by far! And it makes a huge difference when the luxury car has a luxury style driver behind the wheel....I'm so in love with this thing!

Yep. Just took my 2000 ES300 on 400 mile (each way) trip to LA. Cruised at 85+ without even trying. Leather doesn't have a single tear. Less than 160k. Great car with a ton of life left.
Seriously though. Most major thing I've done to it is flush the fuel system and have the entire timing belt system replaced just recently. Mechanic said the belt was original. Even the rubber components are top quality. Besides that just a tune up when I bought it 4 years ago and rotors shortly after that. She's definitely a cheap date..
I have an 05 es 330 it is sent from heaven. Such an easy ride super nice interior air conditioned seats ....cheap to fix because its actually a Toyota Camry.
Roman C. absolutely. It was an old guy with money. Just wanted out of his garage to make way for his new Range Rover. I’d been shopping them and couldn’t have gotten it for any less than $9k on a lot.
E Hey man, my ES is currently 168k. It drives like a dream. I’ll never buy anything other than a Lexus. I’ve got a buddy with an RX he uses for Uber on the side and it has over 300k miles on it. About a year ago he drove it from NC to FLA for an airbag recall and they put in a whole new dashboard. Lexus IS where it’s AT.
Paul Grimes 168k. Nothing major at all, just regular maintenance. Brakes. Tie rod. Etc. I’ve replaced the starter on it. Other than that it’s a dream come true, because it’s a Lexus.
hax0rz100 I used to have one. I had a 1999 from 2011-2015. Literally didn’t spend a penny on repairs. I only did oil changes and car was perfect the whole time.

Bought my wife a 2009 Lexus RX350 a Month Ago... it's beautiful and after all new brakes, rotors, new door speakers, sheepskins dash mats and oil change, she's in luxury car heaven.....
I have a 2004 RX330. BEST vehicle I have ever owned. 216,000 miles. Still runs like a dream. Just change the oil ... minor suspension and tires. Best built cars on the road.
Scotty, I got my 2000 Lexus RX300 from a lawyer friend of mine in 2005. I got it for FREE and It had 86,000 mi. on it. Here I sit in 2021 with 225,911 mi. and no problems. She purrs like a kitten. I love it!
Hey Scotty, don't take this personally but one of the reasons why Lexus went to the new grills is because of people in your age category. The brand was getting the reputation as an old man car. Lexus did the new grills to attract younger buyers. Lexus DID NOT want to end up like Buick and Volvo. Two car brands now known as old people cars.
miamimcintosh couldn’t agree more, I personally love the new Lexus grills & as you said it’s to attract the younger buyers! I have a 2016 RC coupe & love the grill, really stands out from the crowd
I have to say I've seen some of the new Buicks that are actually very nice looking - not just 'pleasant' but really well styled, not over done but nowhere near bland.
This is the first episode of his I ever saw and it's my favorite. I saw it the day before I grabbed an 01 ES300 for a thousand bucks (didn't start, transmission was bad). Now it's running great and drives fine. This man is very experienced. Listen to what he's telling you.
I accidentally found Scotty & started watching his videos regularly. THEN, I started telling my friend, who helps me with minor vehicle needs, Scotty says this... Scotty says that. He told me to quit talking about Scotty. BUT, I sent him videos & now he's hooked. Today he wanted to work on the exterior of a car & he researched Scotty then headed to the store. LOVE & trust Scotty. 👍
Scotty, you should reconsider your thoughts on the LS 430. Mine is a 2004 model. Its in a different category than the 6 cylinder ones. Look at it from the perspective of biggest lifetime luxury bang for your buck. And 24 mpg mixed city and highway driving. And that incredible air suspension. And that torque and grunt of that V8 at 6500 rpm. Even with expensive repairs you get so much quality...
My mom drives a 2005 Lexus ES330 and it has over 380,000 miles on it and it’s still going strong. She kept up with the maintenance all of these years and she bought that car brand new, also that car will forever be apart of my childhood.
@@DevonDavies-p7f My mom has driven everywhere in that car road trips included. She always had the car fully expected when needed. It’s been super reliable. Most likely the repairs were moderate.
pushhard82 I have had it for a year and it is my daily driver. I bought it from the first owner. He drove over 100 miles per day so it had 245k miles . He had it serviced at Lexus every 5k miles . It drives like a dream and is pretty powerful as well.
A few years ago I bought my daughter a 2000 ES300 had 190, 000 miles. 3 years later 207,000. I keep the oil changed along with minor repairs. Still runs quiet & smooth. Last Friday, I purchase the 2011 RX350. Looks brand new. I hope it serves me well for many years to come. Couldn't afford the new RX 350.
LEXUS GS all day my guy. Still and currently own my gs400 . Get good comments on the road all the time. . They ask what year is that? I say 98 .. lol they look confused like it's like a 2010 car. Lowered with nice lexani crome wheels breaks their necks
Good video ! Thanks scotty. us poor folk need this kind of info. thanks for making this video. ill keep my eye out for one. can u do a Pick up truck video like this for a 3/4 ton pickup truck. if u get a chance. appreciate it. thanks.
nacha laica mines is horrible, I did the valve cover gaskets on my avalon 7k miles later it's leaking and misfiring now I have to do it again and replace a spark plugs and line along with a new valve cover gasket again which sets me back around $700 bucks, it's a money pit I'll soon get rid off
@@donaldj.trumpfromthetrench8849 yes it is, your brake problem is probally for buying cheap stuff or doing a bad job, i dont have those problems i know a lot about working on cars, maybe get some expert honest advice good luck.
I agree with scotty, I bought a 1998 lexus gs400 and with 220k miles it runs like it's still new and has amazing seats and I like the old look of the front grill more than the new lexus.
100% right! These cars were built to be bulletproof. I have an IS200 Luxury Sports manual, 2000 model, rare and sought after. Rear-wheel drive, beautiful transmission and handling, looks gorgeous and still modern. Mechanically perfect and every single thing works, down to the heated seats and original lights inside the windshield flaps. I had it repainted with the intention to sell and get a small Toyota SUV because I live in the country now with unsealed roads to get home. Having looked around at newer 2nd hand Toyotas and the state of them, I've decided to hold on to this beauty. In 18 months, her value has gone up by 50% of what I originally paid and will only keep going up.

When i was going to sell my rx350 to my dealer and I told him it had 130000 miles he said “Wow man, thats really low”
1:25 wow the interior looks immaculate for a 2002.
Interiors are the easiest thing to maintain. I have a 1991 Peugeot, car's been in more wrecks than I have fingers to count and yet the interior is on-par with this Lexus.
It’s particularly easy to maintain leather interiors. I use Connolly Hide Care, (aka Bentley and Rolls-Royce’s Hide Food) every three months. It must be stored inside because it’s natural and needs to be in a tempered environment. This product gives the scent that British cars are known for and it’s amazing.
Yeah just WD40 that interior. Shine it right up
JerJerBynx no just no
Glam Stachee why so many wrecks?
A customer at my job has a 1998 Lexus LS in forest green with 60,000 miles. I told her that as soon as she wants to sell, I'll buy it.

Nick J she's older and has a few cars. She might but I'm not counting on it.
And I bet she said she’s gonna keep it forever. And I don’t blame her. Those old LS and SC were solid. Good friend of mine had a 94 SC400 that we used to ride to high school in. That car was so sweet. And for a 16 yr old kid, it was like having a Bentley
You’ll be waiting awhile lol
I bought a 2007 Lexus ES350 13 months ago on Scotty's recommendations... best darn car I've ever bought. 13 year old car and not 1 single problem with it. Changed the oil, transmission ATF, power steering fluid, and coolant. The thing truly does run like a clock!
THANK YOU SCOTTY!!
The legend says that 5 billion years from now, when our Sun has begun to cool down and turn into a White Dwarf, the Lexus, that Scotty got for his wife way back in the 21st Century will still be running smoothly...🤔

It's a white dwarf! when our Sun runs out of hydrogen fuel, it will expand to becomea red giant, puff off its outer layers, and then settle down as a compact white dwarf star, then slowly cooling down for trillions of years.

Thanks for another update, Scotty!! I just bought myself a 2005 Lexus ES 330 after watching your videos, and I love this car!! I'm never gonna listen to car journalists' recommendations any more because all they care about how "fun" it is to drive and the 0-60 times. They don't know/care about maintenance costs and reliability.
john jay they only give good marks for unnecessary tech and engine/transmission changes annually
I just discovered you! Love your posts! I have a 2004 Lexus RX 330. Just passed 200,000 miles. I had the timing belt changed , new water pump, new radiator, condenser all changed within the last 6 months. I’ll drive it another200,000 miles! All equipment still works! Best car I’ve ever had!!

@@ha_ha-ha_ha The Lexus SC400 is a must own. I suggest getting a 1995-1996 model year. The previous owners had cared for the car extremely well, and it came with a stack of maintenance records done at the Lexus Dealership, and had the exhaust upgraded.. IMO, red is the best color and I looked all over the country to find the perfect red SC400. I love that car so much.
I've had my 02 es300 for 4 years now only work it's needed was oil changes and 2 relays best car I've owned by far I love it

@@thatsavagekid4565 recalls are good. And systematic when they identify an issue down to the exact cars effected. What you don't want are cars with extra "character" IE Alfa Romeo all break down in different ways. No consistency
I've had to drop around $2k in repairs in just 3 years on my 1998 V8 Lexus GS400. I bought it for $3k with 200k miles on it. AC doesn't work, heated seats don't work, but at least there is little rust (was well maintained), and the motor and trannie are going strong. Can't see dropping $1,500 for a new AC compressor/repair though. Not sure what the heated seat repair would cost me. Just can't afford any more repairs. Hoping nothing else breaks anytime soon and hoping to get 400k+ miles out of it.
graphicartdude that’s not a reliable type of Lexus you should’ve done research
Preach it, Brother Scotty. As an owner of BMWs for several years prior to buying my '13 GS 350 (yes, it has the ugly grille, but not so glaringly bad as later models), I can say without a doubt that the GS is equal or better in most significant ways to a non-M Bimmer with WAY less anxiety-inducing dashboard lights coming on ... none have ever come on in the GS, in fact. Lexus truly makes outstanding cars.
260K on my 03 ES300. Best car I’ve ever owned. Never had any major issues to this day. My only gripe is the slow acceleration, but like Scotty said it’s not a race car.
My old 97 Es300 would shoot out the gate . Front wheel drive and took me no time to get to 30 from a dig. I would check my O2 sensors and spark plugs if i was you 🤝🏾
Have you taken it on any road trips recently?
Hi
I got a 2004 es330 the ride is very comfortable and the interior very luxurious !!
Don't sell it. It's a jewel to have one of those these days.
Me too...almost 200000 miles. Just had to replace radiator and a bunch of seals and belts. 3000 dollars at Toyota dealer. Well worth the expense for a 15yr old car.
It’s just one of those things that you know it’s worth to keep it,because other than just regular maintenance, I’m sure you could get 500,000 miles without any problem
@@gary.s7759 is that common repair at 200k. Thought these cars don't wear out like that. I would be pissed if I bought used one and had 3k in repairs.
I thought every single video Scotty ever made was subconsciously about why you should buy a Lexus/Toyota.
@Todd m the Tacoma and f150 are both good imo
He usually mentions his toyota celica every episode
Yeah my grandpa does the same too
That's because you SHOULD buy a Lexus! I bought a new one 3 yrs ago and, due to his advice and my experience, will always buy a used Lexus from now on.
@Todd m I'd never bought a Japanese car before now - only American & German. German cars are fabulous to drive, but they're bottomless pits when it comes to maintenance. My previous car was a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I loved it, but it has since become 6a "luxury SUV". For what it would've cost me to replace it, I could get a fully loaded Lexus RX 450h... so I did. I'm spoiled now! I'll probably never buy a new one again (per Scotty's advice), but I'm sold on Lexus. When I go to a Lexus dealership for service, I'm treated like royalty. In my 45 yrs of car ownership, no other dealership has ever treated me so amazingly well. I'm a Lexus owner for life!
Imagine walking past this guys house and hes just yelling at a camera

I got the same year and make with 150k runs brand new it dont even make sense
Seriously though. Most major thing I've done to it is flush the fuel system and have the entire timing belt system replaced just recently. Mechanic said the belt was original. Even the rubber components are top quality. Besides that just a tune up when I bought it 4 years ago and rotors shortly after that. She's definitely a cheap date..

Roman C. absolutely. It was an old guy with money. Just wanted out of his garage to make way for his new Range Rover. I’d been shopping them and couldn’t have gotten it for any less than $9k on a lot.
E Hey man, my ES is currently 168k. It drives like a dream. I’ll never buy anything other than a Lexus. I’ve got a buddy with an RX he uses for Uber on the side and it has over 300k miles on it. About a year ago he drove it from NC to FLA for an airbag recall and they put in a whole new dashboard. Lexus IS where it’s AT.
Paul Grimes 168k. Nothing major at all, just regular maintenance. Brakes. Tie rod. Etc. I’ve replaced the starter on it. Other than that it’s a dream come true, because it’s a Lexus.
I think the new grills look pretty dope on the sedans and coupes but on SUVs a bit funky
Yeah, grille reminds me of a Phillips Norleco razor.
Agreed. The older ones looked more like upgraded Camry's. The new ones have a much more different style

Hey Scotty, don't take this personally but one of the reasons why Lexus went to the new grills is because of people in your age category. The brand was getting the reputation as an old man car. Lexus did the new grills to attract younger buyers. Lexus DID NOT want to end up like Buick and Volvo. Two car brands now known as old people cars.
miamimcintosh couldn’t agree more, I personally love the new Lexus grills & as you said it’s to attract the younger buyers! I have a 2016 RC coupe & love the grill, really stands out from the crowd

Scotty, you should reconsider your thoughts on the LS 430. Mine is a 2004 model. Its in a different category than the 6 cylinder ones. Look at it from the perspective of biggest lifetime luxury bang for your buck. And 24 mpg mixed city and highway driving. And that incredible air suspension. And that torque and grunt of that V8 at 6500 rpm. Even with expensive repairs you get so much quality...

nacha laica mines is horrible, I did the valve cover gaskets on my avalon 7k miles later it's leaking and misfiring now I have to do it again and replace a spark plugs and line along with a new valve cover gasket again which sets me back around $700 bucks, it's a money pit I'll soon get rid off
@@donaldj.trumpfromthetrench8849 thats not the cars problem thats you doing bad work on a good car
nacha laica I guess the caliper sticking and having to replace the rotors and pads AGAIN and replacing a charcoal canister is my fault too
@@donaldj.trumpfromthetrench8849 yes it is, your brake problem is probally for buying cheap stuff or doing a bad job, i dont have those problems i know a lot about working on cars, maybe get some expert honest advice good luck.
I agree with scotty, I bought a 1998 lexus gs400 and with 220k miles it runs like it's still new and has amazing seats and I like the old look of the front grill more than the new lexus.
I got an 02 is300 with 2jz ge with 210k..... I fully restored( tune up, timing belt, bushing, tires, etc) runs like a clock
SrWardo93 I got an 05 is300 with a manual. No problems except for expensive light bulbs.
Well... I get smoke headlight, I keep the stock HID for low beams and EVERYTHING ELSE led........ so yeah, is expensive 😋

100% right! These cars were built to be bulletproof. I have an IS200 Luxury Sports manual, 2000 model, rare and sought after. Rear-wheel drive, beautiful transmission and handling, looks gorgeous and still modern. Mechanically perfect and every single thing works, down to the heated seats and original lights inside the windshield flaps. I had it repainted with the intention to sell and get a small Toyota SUV because I live in the country now with unsealed roads to get home. Having looked around at newer 2nd hand Toyotas and the state of them, I've decided to hold on to this beauty. In 18 months, her value has gone up by 50% of what I originally paid and will only keep going up.
