I Need An Advice To Buy This Car

[Dr.Co0o0oL]

Hi ,

I found ES 300, Release year 1992, Fuel unleaded, Km 237,000 … I did not check the car ….I will check it properly be next week. I would like to know if the maintenance prices are reasonable or not . and how much it would coast for quarterly check up ( every 3 months) …

They are reasonably pricey once they get to that age, but you get a lot of car for your money, bonus is the timeing belt would have been done already coz thats expensive, but other than that camry/avalon parts are interchangeable engine wise so not much more than normal for a car with 240 ish, ks on it, i would hope tho that your not paying more than 5k for it.

Mate to have this car serviced quaterley aint pricey lol.

I got a 93 with 280k on the clock, and i service it every 3 months for around the $300 mark, which includes oil filter with oil change, fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs, radiator flush and engine flush. Dont take your car to Lexus to get it serviced. I service my car myself so i just pay around $140 for the gear.

Timing belt can be fitted between 250 to 350 mark. Depends when everything was last changed. I would doubt there will be anything wrong with the timing belt. The most common cause for the ES series is that after a long period of time the gearbox goes on its way.

i think its a good deal you are having. 4k is not much for this machine! just mind to check its engine and about the crash spots if any! dont worry about maintenance charges. they are obvious

I got my 94 ES300 with 214,000ks on the clock for $3.8K...timing belt done. Needs a service but otherwise in good nick for it's age.
