Toyota Camry review. Best car ever. Worst car ever. Best bang for your buck.
When I first drove a Lexus earlier this year, it completely blew me away! It was an amazing car with its smooth ride, quick acceleration and its amazing interior built to impeccable standards I didn’t think were even possible. Now I get to share my experience with you in this review!
#Lexus #ES330 #Toyota #reliable
I just bought an ES330 with 180,000 miles for $5600 (yes I know it’s high but used car prices have doubled unfortunately) It looks and drives like a new car. I actually can’t understand how that is even possible. It has no rust, the engine is spotless, you can’t hear it running. Dead silent inside, awesome sound system if you add an fm transmitter for your phone which we did. It’s just a beautiful, comfortable and simple car. I never even thought of buying a Lexus but when it came up for sale it looked so good in the pictures I had to go test drive it. After that I had to buy it, even with those miles. Other than those miles I feel like I bought a new car for $5600, incredible.
If you've never owned a Toyota then this reply makes sense. Even more so if you've never owned Japanese in general.
You will continue to be pleased, as long as you perform the maintenance on schedule. You are probably due for a timing belt replacement. It's done every 80k-90k. You should expect another 100k easily.
180,000 is low miles.
Just got my sister one for 5,500 with 120k good car so far. Worth every penny
Because they made these cars with a different mentality. They used to make real cars, today most car manufacturers just make disposable products that they expect you to replace every 3 years or so
This is true. I have a 2006 ES 330 and it is by far the best car I've ever owned.
I just bought a 2006 ES330, 236,000 miles, and I love it. Just a satisfying and reliable car. I will be buying another Lexus in the future. I may never buy anything but Lexus ever again.
Proud Lexus owner here! and I can say that nothing beats the quality build and long term performance of my 2005 ES330!!! Amazing
i have an 03 es300 with 276k and it still rides like a dream on the original suspension 10/10 recommend
If it rides like a dream with old shocks, just imagine how much better it would be with new ones!
I have GS300 owned for 10.5 years with 226k! Hopefully I’ll get it repaint it and restored once I retire. Keeping it.
@@luxurreview Not necessarily. Scotty Kilmer’s wife has a 2004 Lexus ES 330 and he said he ended up putting the original shocks back on after trying some brand new ones that didn’t have as good as a ride.
@@HamburgerHelperDeath I believe he said it was a third party company, not a genuine lexus shock/strut. So, putting brand new oem lexus struts would hopefuly be a better ride.
@@geddon436 You are correct but still that’s eye opening considering the age of the original part he tried to replace.
I just bought an 05 ES 330 for my law practice I just started. 76k miles, one owner...picked it up in Chicago and drove it home to Oklahoma. It is fantastic. 17 years old and drives like a brand new car.
Thank you for the review on the ES300 a 2004 ES300 with 200,000 mi on it I never thought I buy a car with 200,000 miles but when I drove this when I realized what I was getting into it drives like a dream pretty much like a brand new car it's still in such good condition and runs so well that I am on almost considering taking it to Arizona from here in the Bay area as opposed to renting a car. I am making payments on it 150 a month and you are absolutely right it is a very pleasing car to drive and even though the navigation system is state-of-the-art it can always be upgraded. One thing that doesn't work is the CD changer that's located in the console. I plan on maintaining this car and keeping it going because so far I'm in love with it I'm very pleased with my purchase. Thanks for your review and so far I've heard nothing but good things about this particular car.
I have a 2002 Es 300 with 207,000 miles Just changed out the original Oem Starter still drives smooth..Best Cars Ever Made
This guy is like the most well intentioned, thoughtful person I’ve ever seen. Wish he’d run for House of Reps and then the Senate when he’s old enough. Great, informative car review also.
I’ve thought about running before…
@@luxurreview go for it dude skys the limit even if we end up having comepletely different views I still like believing in people till they believe in themselves
i have one of these cars with 360k original miles and i RIP it everywhere everyday even on my commute to work and its just so freaking reliable, i bought it for 800 u.s cash during the height of covid
Just bought A 2006 Lexus ES 330 with 73000 miles in excellent condition. No wear and tear and no cosmetics. Fantastic car that I will put 500k miles on it in the future unless I sell it for double what I bought it for lol
Just took my 2006 ES330 from Southern to Northern Calif for a total of about 700 miles. The driving was smooth at 90 miles per hour... This is a great car and currently has a total of 129k miles...
I will reach a million miles if taken care.
That's amazing, the interior aged gracefully. That's not something we see very often in cars pushing 20 years. I can't wait to get my very own Lexus.
Yes they are amazing Miguele!
Proud Lexus owner here! and I can say that nothing beats the quality build and long term performance of my 2005 ES330!!! Amazing
I have 254,000 on my ES330. I have an exhaust leak rn but that’s the only issue I’ve had so far. Drives like a dream. Hope to take it to 500k miles at least
They are good when they are old and really good when they are new. My brothers Lexus has old shocks and rides pretty good, but imagine how good it will ride with new shocks.
I bought this car this past week, I absolutely understand everything u mentioned here about value , quality and satisfaction...
U did great in this video my friend !
I bought mine 3 and a half years ago ajd it still blows me away every day. It’s superbly smooth. Quality everywhere and it has a ton of nice luxury features! 254k on mine!
@@805NAVE 114,000 on mine 2005 , I feel like I drive on a cloud plus class , interior and exterior mint condition . I’m 3rd owner as of 2 weeks ago.. No better car for the value and reliability
Only Thing One has to Make Sure they do ,Is Earlier than 2007 ES Ones Needed is to Make Sure the Timing belt is Replaced between 90-100,000,As They have Timing Belts a Broken One can Damage Engine.I Have An 2004 ES that I found w/ less than 70,000 mls 2.5 years ago & Still only has 74,000 mls.That My GF Drives & I have a 17 RC F Sport.Had a 2001Tundra I used as Courier Truck 15 years that I put 888,875 thous.mls on before retiring it that Never Let me Down & only had the 3.4V6.So I'm a Toyota & Lexus Guy & yes,the Tundra had Orig.Eng.in it.
I absolutely love these. I know a lot of people don’t like the body style but I really do. I also love the interior on these. Looking for an ‘05-‘06 Ed 330 with around 100k miles
I have an 08 ES350 with almost 307k on it and still running great! Everything still works like new!
Amazing
Have you done drain and fill in transmission fluid or still original?
@@allandelacruz1904 Personally I haven't, previous owner may have. Still running great with 312k+ on it now!
Some interesting points here along with all the ones rehashed over and over again. Keep it up! I'm here because I'm sick of getting TLs that always have a failing transmission.
Just bought one of these, nice to see some good reviews.
Rolled this bad boy at 140mph and still lived.
Not bad.
Got mines for 5500, it has 147k miles on it, it’s the same color as this one but had tint in the back
The Lexus featured is this video reached 300k miles in April of 2021.
How do you know that?! 😲
It’s my car🤫
Sounds like you're about to break up with your genesis 🤣🤣🤣
not yet
I would if it was a newer Lexus 😆
I bought one with 200 K and the suspension stinks! The interior is in good shape and the motor seems strong. The interior is quiet as far any outside air noise. Stereo and CD player is really nice!
That’s Lexus for you the king of comfort and reliability period….I don’t bother with any other brand especially in peruse car category. Please don’t buy hybrid cars over ten years because of the repairs cost will cost more than the overall cost of the car. I have driven Lexus since 2003….7th still counting❤️
Yes sir another upload 👍
Hopefully this gets more views. I don’t know of a good thumbnail.
I did what you said to do which was cut out all of the “dead air” and “ummms” and it totaled out to be four minutes 😆
@@luxurreview your seo sucks thumbnail is fine. When people search for ES330 review it will be hard or pretty much impossible for your video to be found. Search is the only way small youtubers can make it hell that's why I make it. Watch some videos on it on youtube
@@luxurreview that's good that you cut thr extras out. Next step is to hide the rough cuts. Place the B roll you took on top of the rough cuts that way nobody will even know you cut the video. That's a main purpose of b roll. But you will get it with time these good videos and the Info is great. Keep it up
I edited my description and title and now I’m #12 on search.
After not owning or driving a car for 10+ years, I am finally in the market to buy one again. I am interested in either the es330 or 350 or towncar. I was a chauffeur for 25 years, so I have a fondness for Lincoln's and luxury cars. Scotty Kilmer informed me of the reliability of these particular Lexus', so that is what I am looking for to purchase.
You can't go wrong with one of these or an ES350. Just make sure it's been maintained. I bought my '05 back in 2014 with 155,000 miles on it and wasn't concerned in the least.
The Genesis may win races but will lose the race of longevity compared to this car. I have 2005 Camry which shares the same chassis as this car. Amazing. 350,000 kms. Toronto, Canada
🙏🏿for this review, I’m interested in buying one too
I like your review of this car. I’d love one of these. Keep it up and do more videos. What part of Tennessee are you from? East TN Knoxville area here.
I’m near Chattanooga
@@luxurreview I like the cars you review keep it up! I would love to have a Lexus. I drive a 2010 Versa and I imagine myself driving everything else. It's been a decent car and it gets me from A to B. I don't want a status symbol or to be big and bad. I just want my drive to be comfortable lol. The build quality and comfort just isn't there for me in my Versa.
Any Lexus is a good car, just make sure you get one with options. Also, Acura is a good car to get.
My first car! I’ve had it since I was 16, now I’m 20😭. It’s at about 150,000 miles now!
Good Girl!
I'm about to embark on this journey too, I'm new to the lexus family!
@Erick Onassis for an oil change right ???
This Lexus may not have the strongest acceleration but it still manages a top speed of 142 mph. That is because when Toyota set out to make a luxury car they wanted to be sure their new car would out-do Mercedes including in top speed. I don't know if they kept it up but for many years every model they made would go that fast. And I have read that the wood on the dash and door panels of this car is real - it's veneer, but it's real.
Good video. Just note: Lexus did not put fake wood in the $45k car when it was first sold. Love mines!
Yeah that's real wood. They partnered with Yamaha, known for their elegant wood piano trims. FYI you just write "mine" not "mines". Sorry had to be that guy lol
@@johnconnor2402 you just wrote "you just write" instead of "you just wrote" 👀
@@GriotTheGoat Yes, "you just write" is an instructional present tense phrase.
Wow lexuz is a reliable car and i see a lot here in UAE. I want tje LS 340 someday.
Lexus 💪
Just bought a 2005 es330 for 4600 with 73k original miles. It’s insanely comfortable and drives like I’m flying thru the clouds 😂 like the jetsons.
Nice review , Irish boy....
Just bought a 2003 es 300 with 35k miles, the thing is going to outlast me. Lol
wow what a find! how much you pay?
@@DannyWohl 6,000 dollars. :)
That low mileage is impressive. Congratulations.
My Lexus ES 07 so ahead of it’s time I’m so shocked about the specs
Is the dashboard melting or any oil leaking problems trying to buy one
This is reliable car
I saw a flawless mint condition 06 es330 with 45k original miles. Guy was selling for 10k. Should I buy?
Oh! And my 2004 es 330 has over 347,000 miles🥰 Not sure which year Lexus he was referring to?
Great review! Thank you for taking the time to provide such an informative and well thought out assessment of this car.
I’m convinced! Over the Corolla! I am going to see one soon and hopefully buy it. Two mechanics says Toyota bc it’s easier to work with. Well that what you pay them for right? I want reliability and class at the same time and jd us has it. It will be my daily drive for a while. 2003 ES300 132k miles. $5,500 if he lets it go. He’s asking $7k which I think is way too much. Value is $5,490. Here I was looking for a car with low mileage never thinking of buying one with this high mileage. But all other brands won’t even make it to 90k
Mix Premium W/ Mid.grade or Use Prem.Exclusively & Your H.p. Will go up About 10-15more h.p. Had a 04 Es 330 & My gas Mlg.went up to Well Over 30 mpg.Hwy.Book says Use Reg.,But 90 -93 Oct.Keeps the Trans.from Constantly Shifting to get more power.
Agree. I've had several Lexus in my fleet over the years. A 1994 SC400, a 1999 RX300, and still have my father's 2005 ES330. It only has 122K miles to date and is a perfect car for my youngest daughter in college. Outside of the SC400, Lexus advised the cars would run on regular. They do. But run much better on 89 or 91/93 if you choose to. Butter smooth, quiet, efficient, and extremely reliable. Excellent cars.
You see the car is the background of my profile pic the car is wonderful 209k So smoove I wouldn’t trade it for anything else, I want to get another maybe 300-350 just a dope car 2021. 280,000 miles so far pushing 300K
just got mine as a daily at 175k. southern car and wall maintained with records, i hope i can at least double that mileage!
How much did you pay if you dont mind me asking .
He’s comparing a 2015-18? - 19? Not sure which year? Genesis to a 2003 - 2004 Lexus that’s 17 years old. I own a 2004 and it still lots of power!! It runs and rides great🥰
Stick with the Toyota-model-based Lexus cars because they use pretty much the same engine / suspension parts as a Toyota. This model uses Camry parts. If you buy a model that is strictly Lexus, the parts are going to cost a fortune in comparison. Also with a model like this ES, any mechanic who can do brakes or engine work or suspension on a Camry can do this one. This is more than just a Camry but many of the mechanicals are the same, and that's not a bad thing at all. And this is a car that can easily do 300,000 miles on the original driveline etc. so long as you maintain it. I own a 2005, bought it in 2014 for $8000, and could get most of that money back if I sold it now.
Which one is better 2003 Lexus ES 2003 or the 2005 that you are driving?
For sure the 2005 especially if you get all the options like this one!
Hopefully the Lexus I buy last me 100k Miles at around 150k miles when I buy it! Wish i could find a manual :(
How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking
The 5 & 7 Spd.Autos in the Es' s are Excellent Trans.my 04 Es330Was still Doing fine @ 167,000mls,When another driver hit me & totaled my car.just chge.the Trans.fluid every 50-60,000 mls.
Proud Lexus owner here! and I can say that nothing beats the quality build and long term performance of my 2005 ES330!!! Amazing
Just bought this Lexus at 193k for $2450. Negligible amount of rust underneath since it was from the South. Only needs rotors, timing belt, and valve cover gaskets replaced before it's street legal. Incredible value.
Is yours still running? How many miles you got on it?
@@tanzimmiah2357 Yep still running after two years and 11k miles later. I had to replace the original altenator because it died on me last summer, but I still made it home. The only thing that worries me is the transmission shifting weird at 30mph so I try not to beat on it. It hasn't got worse since I bought it so fingers crossed it'll last me a few more good years.
I bought my 2005 Lexus ES330 at 93,000 miles. It’s at 114,500 now but I’m hoping to get 300,000 out of mine
What is your MPG?
Luckily my car displays info such as mileage left before empty, average mpg, etc. according to my car I get 19.9 mpg on average and I drive a mix of streets and highway. My car is now at 120,258 miles.
I have the 2005 Toyota Camry SE V6. Owned it since new and its just the best car ever made. Its powerful, quiet and smooth. Much the same as the Lexus in this review.
Toyota builds the best cars in the world.
I have a 09 es 200k miles, still smooth as butta
@8:35 $2,000! In 2022 that's a down payment for a used one. One like he has would be $8,000
So what you're saying is that it's really a nice car. 😁
Would this make a good first car?
Absolutely! It’s my brothers first car
I heard Yamaha be mentioned in the video n fun fact Toyota (Lexus) has ownership shares in Yamaha.
One thing disappointed is that no aux on that. Maybe someone can recommend the solution, because really need to listen my music from the phone
My brother complains about that all the time but the car came out in 2002 or something so it wasn’t even a spec on the radar.
BT45-TOY on Amazon. I have that in my GS330.
Get a cassette adapter. Walmart. $5 or $6.
I know old comment but we bought an fm transmitter for $20 and it works perfectly
Kaiza Japan quality.Came off a boat & best quality vehicles in Japan came out in this era.
Everything is great but the front cupholders
If after 20 years they work, I find no objection... In fact, if everything works after 20 years, you must be driving a Toyota/ Lexus. Yes they age but like good wine, slowly. Just service them with new fluids when the book instructs. This is the key to buying any vehicle, Service history !
I need a 2nd opinion. Is this car, 2005 with navigation, ML audio with 222k miles, 1 owner, Lexus dealer maintained worth 4900$. (Timing belt & water pump replaced at 180k). White ext, tan interior
2007 es350 228k miles, transmission sometimes shoots high rpm when cold engine
Timing service can be challenging, i want a es350 is timing chain ⛓️
2004 es330 195k miles $2800 is that a fair price? Another question were this model & year made in Japan??
That’s a good bargain, better have a mechanic look it over or watch a Scotty Kilmer video!
Is this more reliable than a 2001 Toyota celica?
The Toyota celiac of that year is just a coupe version of the Corolla of that year , in which is it reliable? Yes but I believe it’s less expensive to maintain.
Yes because you have Toyota reliability with Lexus’ extra quality. But the Celica would be cheaper.
@@luxurreview thank you. I bought one for 3000 160k miles. How long you think it’s gonna last more. It’s in great condition.
@@SaadAhmed-qu9wm how is the car so far? I’m about to look at an 04 for $3.7k w/ 150k miles
@@asbodo32 I sold it. I had to put alot money in it. Not worth 3.7k. Buy it for 2.5k
These puppies were made in Japan. The ES now is made in the US. Good luck with that
How much would you guys pay or ask to pay for a 2005 Lexus ES 330 FWD w/ 23k miles. That's not a typo, it only has 23K miles!! Super clean. I believe they have it listed for $14k?
14k is reasonable….just purchased an 03 with 18,500 miles for 10k…needed timing belt, fluids , brakes tires etc
Someone has one in my area for 3500 with only 126k miles I'm thinking of getting it ...same color and eveyrhing
Worth ut
that is a good deal they’re really reliable I got 2 of them Rx350 and es330 they both have a high mileage but run like a new car good on gas
@@mightypawa hey brother i just bought the same car es330 2016 with 96000 miles. Have u had any major issues with this car ?
Looking at a 2006 ES330 to buy for $5,000 with 246,000 miles. Should I or should I not go for it?
Try to get it at a lower price and make sure it’s loaded (or close to it).
Why are you wearing headphones like the baby driver :3
Thinking of buying 2004 with 63k miles w/ rebuilt title at $5500 is it worth that much
no lmao
@@myhkeith Ok
Why is it a rebuilt title?
Hey, is this specific car in the video for sale?
Nope
Bentley and Rolls Royce both $$$$$ pits.
Is it louder than a corolla for road noise?
I haven’t been in a Corolla but I would imagine the Corolla is worse
Your accent 👍
Mercedes Are really good car
what he says at 10:36 - 10:44 about loving extra wood and his genny not satifying his craving for wood lmfaooooo i dont think any car is gonna do that for you buddy, maybe that place in colorado can help you out Q
It is a Toyota...😅😂
Just bought one for $6,000
As a buyer I hate Lexus resale value, as on owner I love it 😆
I wouldn't touch a car with that milage.
Don't care what it is....
