Exemplary automobile
4.88 out of 5 starsMae Haynes, 02/12/2003
1991 Lexus ES 250 4dr Sedan
For twelve years this car has has given
me extraordinary service. Except for
routine maintenance, there have been no
mechanical problems whatsoever. It is,
hands down, the best car I have ever
owned and I intend to drive it forever.
At such a time as it dies a natural
death, I would definitely buy another
Lexus. Hopefully, they will come out
with a hybrid, as I would … prefer a more
environmentally friendly engine. That
is not the fault of this car.
Great Car
4.88 out of 5 starsSceretbeholder, 04/11/2003
1991 Lexus ES 250 4dr Sedan
It is a great car, I love the looks of
it, the lines on the car are great. I
have only had the car 8 months, but I
absoultly love it, I have put 16000
miles on it already, including a trip
from NJ to AZ, it now has 166,000
miles on it, and I couldn't be happier
with it, I plan to dive it till it
dies. As for performance, It is
great, I was really suprised when I …
first drove it how peppy it real was.
The car still handles like a dream,
the only complant I have with the car
is the engine compartment, it is too
small, you have to go through too much
work to do anything that should be
simple.

1991 Lexus ES 250 4dr Sedan
I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR A WHILE IT
NEEDED SOME AVERAGE REAPIRS. TUNE UP
AND TIRES WAS A MUST. PERFORMANCE
UPGRADES INCLUDE A CUSTOM EXUAST AND
AIRINTAKE AND THIS BABY NEVER NEEDS GAS
I GO FOR 2 AND A HALF WEEKS ON THE SAME
TANK OF FUEL.I LOVE THIS CAR AND WILL
KEEP IT FOREVER
Awesome car, time for me to move on...

1991 Lexus ES 250 4dr Sedan
This has been a great car. My mother
bought it when it was a brand new baby
car. My parents kept good care of it,
and I (the daughter) have it now.
After purchasing a 2001 Camry, I have
talked my mom into trading with me. I
like the feel and drive of the 12 year
old Lexus BETTER than a brand new
car. This is the type of car that if
you take care of it, this car … will go
another 115,000 miles. We (my husband
and I) are planning on a baby, and we
need the room of an SUV. I will be
sorry I ever got rid of this car when
I finally go to trade it. There
aren't mant cars built as well as this
Lexus.
