Hey Scotty!
I'm currently looking for another Car and came across this 2003 ES 300 with the 3.0L V6 and it has 79,896 miles.
I checked out the suspension, brakes, engine, and transmission and it all seems to check out. No leaks.
The engine sounds good and the transmission feels good. Heater and A/C work great.
There is 1 old brittle power steering line which I figured could cost about less than $100 to fix.
The paint/body is strange from what I saw. The seller said it is a rebuilt title because of a front-end accident. He insisted that he fixed everything himself with OEM parts from another ES 300 and to be honest, it doesn't look bad for a DIY'er. As you can see from the pictures there are still a few details that need to be fixed, I would say it would be a couple hundred bucks to get it in decent shape cosmetically.
Also, the 2 rear windows do not work, so that would probably be an expensive fix.
It's a rebuilt title and they are asking $5500 cash, do you think it's a good buy? Thanks!

22 years old with a salvage title, front end pieced together by an amateur after an apparently serious accident, and who knows if the claimed mileage is accurate - they should be paying you to take it off their hands.
@chucktobias Thank you for the advice!!😂😅
