#5406 of 5432 2001 purchase help needed? by robertiy Jan 26, 2008 (8:51 pm)
I have a chance to purchase a 2001 ES300 for $10,000 OTD from a single owner in Hawaii. Has not been driven much in about a year. The original owner died and his brother held it for him. Now the original owner's daughter at college in the mainland wish to sell.   48,000 miles, Premium Plus package, automatic sun/moon roof and a 6 disk CD changer in the glove compartment. Not to sure about any other options.   Both front leather seats show some wear. The rear bumper has a lot of minor damage. Front bottom grill has some too. Otherwise the body has no other damage or rust anywhere that I can tell. Tires in good to great condition. Runs and rides well.   Never rode in a Lexus before so nothing to compare with.   Anything I should be asking or looking for?   Any help appreciated, Robert
#5407 of 5432 2005 ES330 Daylight Driving Lights by catdaddylong Mar 09, 2008 (4:28 pm)
Today I parked in front of a store with a glass window and when I started up my car to leave I noticed that my Daylight Driving Lights did not come on. I fooled around with the light switch trying to see if I could get them to come on but to no avail. As soon as I released the parking brake the DDL's came on. When I arrived home I could see the DDL shinning on the back of my gagrage and I applied the emergency break and they remained on. Is this a normal function or do I have something flakey going on ?

Replying to: catdaddylong (Mar 09, 2008 4:28 pm) SOP..   If the e-brake is applied when you start the car the DRLs will not come on until you release it. Once they're on they do not go out until the ignition is switched off.   Cold winter night drive-in threatre "feature". Replies to this message: catdaddylong (Mar 13, 2008 4:22 pm)

Replying to: wwest (Mar 13, 2008 7:18 am) Thanks for the info wwest. Even though I bought the ES330 new I only have 16K on it and it is still in warranty if something is wrong. Just never have parked where I could see the front end of the car when I started it until the other day.
#5410 of 5432 ES300 Gas Door Spring Assembly Search by msilverscrv Apr 17, 2008 (12:40 pm)
Original 98 ES300 owner having trouble locating replacement "gas door spring assembly". After 10 years (and just 80K mi), door no longer pops open when pressing dashboard button, but can be pushed open. Long term faithful mechanic has dealt with 2 Lexus dealers' parts depts waiting 8 weeks for a replacement. At this rate I don't think it will ever come and I've suggested he check at a salvage yard. Anyone have a reliable used Lexus parts-by-mail dealer I should try? Any other ideas on how I can get this silly little part?   Thanks. Replies to this message: larry1 (Apr 19, 2008 7:44 pm)

#5413 of 5432 ES300 differential and knock sensors by sean300 Jul 09, 2008 (9:37 pm)
I own a '98 es300, 183k on the "clock." Recently, I had a check engine light diagnosed and was told that the code was for a knock sensor malfunction. My question is this: If I do not replace the sensors right away will it cause any problems with the car? Also, I asked my mechanic to check the differential fluid; he checked the tranny dipstick and said that the fluid was full. Is the differential separate from the tranny or is it one unit? My guy said that you service the differential through the transmission. Replies to this message: wwest (Dec 08, 2008 9:13 am)
#5414 of 5432 2000-2001 ES300 by kw_carman Dec 07, 2008 (11:47 pm)
After totaling my 2002 Civic coupe at the infamous "Spaghetti Junction" (I-85/I-285 interchange) in Atlanta, I'm in the market for a "new" car. Since I'm looking for something bigger and preferably with side airbags, I've been looking at ES300's from 2000-2001.   From what all I've read in this topic I'm starting to get pretty concerned--is there anything in particular I need to watch out for? I've always assumed these cars were fairly reliable, but many of the problems on here sound rather costly.

Replying to: sean300 (Jul 09, 2008 9:37 pm) You were more likely told the problem was a "knock sensor RELATED malfunction.   The throwing of a code, CEL, due to the knock sensor triggering could be the result of a number of engine component problems, or even the engine itself.   Yes, the front diff'l runs in ATF.
