New daily driver ES250

I picked this little biddy up yesterday for a new DD, I liked my Subaru legacy but it made me feel like a traitor.

Looks good. I've always liked the ES250, very underrated car.

thanks guys I like it, this is my second ES250 the first one had a salvage title and was kind of a peace but this one is pretty nice. I just did HIDs yesterday and I ordered KYBs for it. PS. the ES250 strut tower brace sucks the $29.00 eBay one is actually much better and stiffer.

Dude...that thing looks awesomely sickly good. Glad you got a great working one (and mint too). Wish I could get one of those....

I always like the ES250. Interior looked nice, boxy shape VS the second gen ES300.

Thanks, Its got just over 160,000 on it witch isn't to bad it was owned buy an old lady who traded it in, I got it from a dealer. the timing belt head gaskets and water pump were done at 158,000 Its in pretty good shape for its age there is a small tear in the driver side seat bolster but other than that the intereor is almost perfect and I will get that fixed anyway. the rear wheel arches have a tiny bit of rust on them that will get fixed. I have new struts and control arms and tires on the way,I already put HIDs in the fogs and headlights

Congrats on the purchase man 2vzfe FTW!!! You lucked out on a nice tan interior vs the early 90's blue that I've seen.

Both those cars look awesome!

Lexus ES of that vintage are a rare model here in JA. The Camry Prominent however, are quite abundant here, they look similar.
