Hi there.
We are just in the process of buying a '94 ES300. It has 77k miles and is in very nice condition. We would like some advice, however, before we sign on the dotted line!
We think the price is ok (£4k). At the moment we drive a Toyota Hilux Surf which, for a diesel, is too thirsty. We get about 18mpg or less. Can anyone give us some rough figures for a sensibly driven ES? The dealer said 28-36 mpg, but is this just a ploy to sell it to us? Messages we have read on here suggest that they are also very thirsty!
Also the cruise isn't working properly due to a faulty ECU. What is this like to replace and how easy is it to get hold of one?
One last thing, it is badged on the back as a Lexus ES300 but the alloys have Toyota on the hubs. Does this mean it's a re-badged Windom?
Any help greatfully appreciated - we are due to pick the car up on Tuesday (3rd Aug) so any advice before then would be good :)
Many thanks
Rob and Jo
