I work too cheap to begin with and then they think I am “responsible” for ANYTHING that breaks after I touched it. I waved off an easy job for a neighbor the other day. I know him. If I fixed this, then he would think I am his new mechanic, working for peanuts. I’m getting too old and too wise for this.

My 2002 Lexus ES 300 with now about 167,000 miles is rattle free, tight and solid. The level of craftsmanship is unparalleled. I bought it from the original owner last April. Last summer I had the following work done: 1. Replaced all four struts last summer because the rear ones were leaking. 2. Replaced original alternator 3. Replaced original air conditioner unit because it’s starting to squeal and didn’t want to take a chance of not getting through the summer without air conditioning. Now the car sits about an inch or two higher in the back the way it was when it was new as well as the ride which is like it just came off the showroom floor. Last summer I replaced the in-dash CD changer/cassette player with a double din Alpine touch screen unit with a hard wired backup camera. And now it works smoothly with my iPhone for Google Maps and my Apple Music I wish you were closer to New York I would love to bring my car to you for a complete look over like you did with this car. I love how you take your time and evaluate everything based on experience. Toyotas/Lexus are the best cars/SUVs on the road today. dependability and reliability are unparalleled. I almost bought a similar year v6 Camry but I figured for an extra thousand or more I would get an older Lexus like mine. I searched for a one owner well-maintained and found my beautiful ES300. The original owner replaced the timing belt, water pump, and valve cover gasket at 88,000 miles. It was serviced at a local Lexus dealership in New Jersey all the way through 110,000 miles According to the Lexus owners website.

I'm going to argue that this vehicle has NOT been well-maintained and you spoke of why early on- some fella that is not familiar with Toyotas, looking at retirement, etc. Couple that with 15 years in the rust belt and this is what you have. Does it have more life? Yes! But it needs a lot of this and that, as you pointed out. I think that if better oil changes had been performed, better parts and better diagnostics done, it would be in even better condition. It's amazing to me how I can have 3 vehicles in my driveway, all Toyota/Lexus, all over 100k miles (2 over 150k) and all look like new under the hood and undercarriage.

In over 2000 miles on the new oil I had to add about 1 pint of oil. There have been zero oil leaks from anywhere. I did put new front disc brakes and rotors. I also had the timing belt changed since I had no idea when it was done last. I have no idea how many previous owners it has had. I paid $800 for it and I am amazed how well it has been.

It graduated when I bought a 2009 Toyota Camry with 65k mileage on it. 2009 Camry is gone also. 2014 venza and 2020 Camry still in my hands. There’s one thing about Toyota.

Always use OEM parts, for a peace of mind in term of performance & reliability. Addition it will save you times and money too. Especially now a day, after market parts made in China are not worth to even spend a penny on. My 2004 LS 430 with 230,000 miles on it, and it still runs like new, super smooth and super quite (you don’t even hear the engine noise). Over the years I always use only OEM parts (including the gas cap & radiator cap) on all scheduled maintenance. Thank you another GREAT video. YOU ARE THE BEST. Always learn something new & beneficial from each of your videos. I look forward to watch your next video. Thank you.

That’s the same old school process I use. I just went to look at a truck for a friend,m. She noticed a wet spot on the frame area and drivers wheel well. It’s a small oil leak. It had been parked in the same spot for about 3 hours and hadn’t even put a drip on the ground beneath the truck. I told her it’s not leaking on the exhaust, it’s not leaving a spot on the ground, keep an eye on it and keep a check on the oil level. It’s not something that set my hair on fire when I saw it. So it’s at the evaluate and monitor stage at this point. Good advise as always, hope you and the fam are doing well my friend!!! ✌️

I have a 2003 Camry and was leaking oil from the valve covers, mostly the one by the fire wall and it looked like it was a huge leak, but I replaced both valve covers and the oil leak stopped completely, you know most times a very small oil leak will spread everywhere and it looks way worst than it really is and this is because the wind as you ride it pushes oil everywhere, even to the sides of the engine, So you're right a good pressure wash and then drive the car for at least 20 miles. I also do Toyotas and this car is almost perfect like you said.

230k out of a car ain't bad! Gotta say, it's done a little better than my '07 Subaru Legacy which is nearing the end of the line at 170k miles. I made the mistake of having the head gaskets replaced by the Subaru dealer with OEM gaskets along with the timing belt replacement just shy of 100k miles. Now the head gaskets are leaking again! I figure it needs basically every gasket and seal under the hood replaced, new exhaust, new control arm bushings, at least one set of wheel bearings (left front sounds like it's going), new struts, and some routine stuff. Doesn't take long to exceed the value of the car! Radiator is new, alternator is maybe 3 yrs old, power steering pump, CV joints, sway bar links, tires, brake pads and rotors are all 4 yrs old. Body is clean except I'm starting to get rust bubbles on the lip of the right rear wheel well. Not sure exactly how much rust there is underneath where it counts. But for people who put crazy mileage on cars (300k, 400k and up) I always wonder how they do it unless it's all highway mileage. I did get 220k miles out of my first car, a 1997 Saturn SL2, but that was with a lot of highway driving and it only took me 8 years. I still miss those dent resistant plastic body panels!

After that i got another 04 outback w 200k. I bought it w a blown headgasket to do the job myself. It drove another 20k then i sold it for my impreza. I kept the impreza till i got the lexus. Lexus is 350 had a blown headgasket when i bought it lol. Pretty ironic considering it isnt a subaru. But i just replaced the motor cuz the headgasket cost more in just parts. Subarus taught me how to work on cars and im hoping toyotas will teach me how to not work on cars... so far not so good lol 🙃 😅

I do all my own maintenance, and moderate repair work. Still runs great. The clear coat on the white paint on the hood started to break down after about 15 years, but all the other paint and clear coat is original and in great shape. Things have had to replace.. starter motor solenoid, struts, exhaust manifold, rear brake cylinders, water pump, radiator, drive axle boots, catalytic converter.... that's all I can think of, looks like quite a list, but spread over 30 years, it's been quite trouble free.

Just use a pressure washer. Keep it away from the fuse/relay junction blocks, plug wires and coils or injector wires. Keep it aimed around the sides of the block. Don’t spray around the O2 sensors when the engine is hot. Definitely keep the water away from the air intake. I usually use a spray bottle full of industrial degreaser to pre soak the oil to help the pressure washer break it up. After cleaning run the engine and check for drips of fresh oil and where it came from, keep in mind oil follows gravity as well so if you see a drip look above it. If you got water or degreaser on the belt it may squeal a little bit after starting but should go away as the belt dries off.
