    Recently purchased a 2013 Lexus GS rwd with the 3.5 V6. Best car I've ever driven.
  • This is my Lexus I heard Scotty say he moved to my town so when I got a Lexus I took it over to his house. His crescent shaped driveway full of Toyotas he’s polished to perfection. They twinkle and sparkle😆One thing I always liked as a Toyota fan is the confirmation bias I get from Scotty telling what I already know about superiority of Toyota engineering. Evidently I didn’t make a mistake. I asked him to tell me what parts I need to get the car ready to roll. He couldn’t find anything wrong with it. I didn’t expect to find one with such low miles. Anyway he’s exactly the same in person that’s the other thing I like. He doesn’t pretend to be anything else but who he is. Weird thing is I realized my money is of no use to him. What’s he going to do with money?😆 So hopefully he benefits from this video.Whatever it is he’s certainly earned it. Thanks Scotty!(2003 ES300 is on the way for work vehicle. Black n red interior. It’s real nice)
  • I’m happy to keep my 2000’s Lexus and Land Cruiser. I’ve kept up maintenance and hope to keep them running smooth. 05 LC had over 320k miles and 08 RX 350 has over 225k. Still driving good.
  • @ChazR25
    We were considering a new Rx but the 4 cylinder is a deal breaker. Our 2012 v6 Rx has 230kmiles and is still running great!
  • @revbknox
    Our 2002 es300 was totaled the week before Christmas when a lady pulled out in front of our daughter. While we are ever grateful she was ok, as well as the other driver, the aged ole statement that cars can be replaced doesn't really apply here. Man, that was the best car I've ever owned. Bought it with 53000 miles in 2014 from the original owner. RIP Lexus....
  • I got a 2016 Toyota Avalon with a 3.5 V6 early last year from my aunt and uncle. It had about 98,000 miles on it and they made sure to keep maintenance up on it and I have kept it up since then and expect to have it for a while.
  • @THEH2OMAN
    I saw a Celica like yours zipping through Athens Georgia last week, and I thought to my self as it passed by "what a great looking car"... I wish they still made them like that. Seemingly 'big ticket' repairs & maintenance on my older rust free Tundra performed at a conscientious dealership beats the hell out of trading in on a new truck. I will keep this 2002 going as long as possible.
  • The ES350 that I purchased back in 2012, which now has 80,000 miles, has had flawless performance in every respect, including a quiet, luxury ride and plenty of smooth acceleration at any speed. I can't imagine a better car. The only very minor compromise that I've noticed with it is that it takes sharp curves more like a boat than a sports car. Well, it's probably hard to have everything for less than $100K. And the Lexus dealer has tried selling replacement parts that the car doesn't need (at least yet). I thought I'd be replacing this car in ten years, as I've always done with my cars in the past. But given my experience with the ES 350, that's now completely out of the question.

    😊 thanks Scotty for educating us. Blessings and love to everyone
  • @trishbrad00
    Scotty, we have a 2005 ES 300. 100k. Bought it 5 years ago with 42k. Beautiful car with all the goodies! Mark Levinson....not ever selling it!!
  • @andrel2339
    I am amazed at how much you produce @scotty! Thank you for the content every day.
  • @jiggiti
    I'm going to be getting a Lexus soon & I'm so glad I cam across your video. Thank you so much for this information!
  • Hello Mr Scotty, I followed ur lead and lucked up and purchased a 05 es330 with 106,000 one owner and so smoking. It’s so clean inside and out it still had the original window sticker, booklets and all the owner maintenance records. It’s truly is in mint condition. I can’t tell u just how happy I am Scotty ty again and God bless you!
  • @JT-mu5pi
    I think 1998-2005 Lexus gs300 was the pinnacle of their engineering… great videos Scotty. I wish I had half your arm movements.
  • I have the same 3.3 engine in my 2006 Toyota Solara. Really good engine, horsepower, quiet and good mpg too.
  • @townhall05446
    Scotty, the ES330 and ES350 top out at about 142. When Lexus came about one of their requirements was that any Lexus be faster than a Mercedes. Even my mom's 1998 ES300 topped out at 140+.
  • I’ve always thought 4 cylinders were choppy, clanky, noisy so I’m glad you confirmed it’s not just in my own head
  • The B2324 4 cylinder engine they put in the Saab 9000 was bullet proof, and plenty smooth with a counter-rotating balancing chain. Reached peak torque at 1800rpm, came with 225HP/252ft-lb stock, the majority of them later tuned to 300HP+ and ran for half a million miles without blinking. Mine had that much on it when I sold it a few years ago, and I still wish I had kept it and restored it (succumbed to rust and my wife's insistence at having side airbags). Problems with the engine or turbo were exceedingly rare. Ironically, the V6 variant of the car was the one with the poor reputation, and everyone knew to avoid it.
  • I ordered a 2022 ES last year. Got it in July and was totaled in Oct. everyone was ok but I will definitely order one this yr. Think the 4 cylinders are coming to the ES sooner than we think.
