1994 Lexus ES300, thoughts ?

Europeanfag here

I'm going to work in the US for 4 months. My boss is going to lend me a nice 2nd gen 1994 Lexus ES300. What are your thoughts about this whip ? I heard it has sluggish performance. Is that true ?

its a fuckin camry, there isn't much to expect

> mfw I thought I would drive a powerful american car and I'm stuck with that japanese piece of shit

>Lexus
>American

you might have autism, my friend.

It's still probably twice as powerful as the shitboxes we have over here.

I mean a car made for the north american market, something with a powerful v8, not a 90hp renault clio, shithead

>I made an uneducated statement, but you are the shithead

Okay friend.
The ES300 from that era has an NA 3.0 V6 which should make around 180-190 hp. If that doesn't satisfy you, you can go eat a dick, shithead.

I drive one in the winter. Its a very solid car. Decent power, comfy ride, and pretty nice inside.

get an LS400 man

they are fucking plush and haul ass pretty good.

Just get a 93 or later. 91-92 have shit brakes.

98-2000 is best because it's way faster.

Not OP, but what do you think of this?

What should I keep an eye out for if I go for a test drive? Any issues besides the brakes?

Not Op but do you know how to read you dumb cuck

why would he buy a car when he's only going to be in the US for 4 months

Getting a 404 on that URL

Where does he say he doesn't want to buy a car?

Why is he even asking if he doesn't want options?

you're dumb

Yeah, it's a Camry.

Speed limit is 65mph/ 105kph on the east coast anyways. Nobody dares faster either since so many police lurk in the forests.

On the west of the Mississippi you can cruise at 85-90mph ~ 140/kph on the left hand lane, thats the general speed traffic goes and police do not enforce speed limits there like they did maybe 10 years. Even a shitty car like your corporate loaner will go along with traffic.

Let me give you a quick rundown.

>Somewhat quick, but cucked by the 3spd auto with overdive
>These engines are sludgers, if its sludged chances are it burns oil too
>It can be fixed and desludged but its a decent bit of work to fix the offending valve cover
>Spark plugs are a bitch to change
>Struts are probably going to need replacement
>An o2 sensor may need replacement, for some reason i always see bank 1, sensor 1
>Comfy as all hell
>Parts are quite cheap mechanically and easy to find since its literally a fucking v6 camry
>The nakamichi sound system is hard as fuck to find parts for
>Use 89-91 octane or the knock sensors will lose their shit
>Gas mileage is surprisingly decent


Don't expect a car to hoon in, OP.

It's more of a comfy DD with a decent bit of power behind it.

The car is bullet proof as long as it kept up on maintainance.

>Speed limit is 65mph on the east coast anyways. Nobody dares faster either since so many police lurk in the forests.

Lmao. What the fuck are you talking about? I've lived in the VA/MD/DC area all my life and this is not my experience.

you couldve just said you live in the DMV mate and if anything esp in VA you don't want to speed there because you'll get absolutely fucked.

I do 10 mph over all the time and have only received two tickets in my life.

>54 in a 35
>74 in a 55

Paid the fines and moved on with my life. Not that big a deal.

My best friend had the camry v6 of that generation and this is pretty accurate. It took us like 10 hours to do the valve covers and spark plugs lol. The whole intake manifold has to come apart and the back cylinders are pretty close to the firewall

It's so comfy though

>didn't get a traffic lawyer

>so poor that you can't pay 150 bucks and move on with your life
>time is money

Does it have direct injection?

Enjoy your insurance premiums

no

Good car, good price.
Just watch out for rust, if there isnt any buy it.

>Enjoy your insurance premiums

I pay roughly $78/mo for a 300+ horsepower car you dumb nigger. I think I'm doing alright with my two speeding tickets.

If Im a Nigger than you are a cuck.

Butthurt that my premium isn't sky high?
