Is Lexus ES 330 Truly Hard To Maintain? by KabirHakeem(op): 1:12pm On Jan 21, 2023

Hello Nairaland,

I need an advice, I am trying to purchase a clean 2005 lexus es330, but a mechanic advised against it and told me to buy a camry instead (Be it same year or a muscle).

According to him, lexus es330 is expensive to maintain and harder to get a good mechanic on the street in emergency situations.

Please share your advice from your experience.

It uses same engine/gear as Camry V6 of same years.

It is a better performance car than I4 Camry.

Price of body and legs are more expensive than Camry of same years

All cars are hard to maintain if the driver isn't careful. With relation to this car, maintenance is same as the average Camry car

1. You need to change your mechanic. If your mechanic doesn't know that the Lexus is the upscale Camry, he might not be equipped enough for your car. What will he say If you said you wanted to get a Benz or BMW?

2. Maybe you give your mechanic the vibe of someone who can't fuel the 3.3 litre Lexus. That is why he thinks you might not be able to "maintain" it.

3. The body parts, fueling, and maintenance might be a bit higher than the Camry tho. That's a fact.

3. Most Nigerian mechanics are not innovative. They all believe Toyota is the best thing after soft bread and slightly burnt ewa agonyin. cool

. I don't blame him.

4. Lastly, the Lexus Es 330 is a good, reliable and comfortable cruiser. I assure you. Go for it bro. Take an updated mechanic with you to inspect and shine your eyes and don't buy a lemon. No good car is hard to maintain.

Congratulations on your new car. Na me first wish you o. Bless up... cool

Do a proper prepurchase inspection before purchasing.
No perfect car out there as all vehicles have their peculiar issues.

Precisely!

I know how much I've spent on my car. (Shaa, just know you'll spend MONEY a lot as long as car is concerned) no be bicycle you won buy lol.

The thing is that, once it's in a good condition, you'll love everything about it. But if it develops one fault and you keep procrastinating on repairing it, you'll spend so much for it because it will develop other issues.

The parts are not cheap like Toyota corolla them and so on. that's why if you own a Lexus, you should always handle it with care and avoid bad roads that tamper with the beneath of the car.

OP, if that's the car you posted, damn! It's so clean, the person that owned it knows how to handle cars like egg unlike me 😅😅

I even plan on buying a Toyota sef, Lexus is good but I'm someone that don't like using one particular thing for long.

That's the opinion of a local mechanic.

Truth is that these luxury brands need
careful attention. Maintain one engine oil
brand, service regularly and don't allow
too many people drive it.

Any issue you have with it, go to modern
technicians for diagnostics and you will
find that you only need to change a part.
If you allow roadside mechanic touch am,
your own don finish..
