1998 Lexus ES 300 Base

Vehicle Description:

Meet ''Golden Nugget,'' the 1998 Lexus ES300 that's been quietly compounding interest in reliability since dial-up was peak tech. This champagne-gold sedan (168,511 gentle miles) still glides like it's late for a '90s R&B video shoot. Under the hood, the legendary 3.0L V6 hums smoother than your uncle's jazz collection, while the butter-soft leather interior smells faintly of success and whatever cologne was on sale at Macy's in 2001. Power everything works-windows, locks-moonroof-because Lexus apparently offended the gremlins who usually haunt 27-year-old cars. The aftermarket stereo still bumps; bring your mixtapes. Cold A/C, hot heat, and a trunk big enough for three bodies or one Costco run-your call. No moonroof, no recent spa days. Honest rust on the rear wheel arches surface stuff, not structural; call it ''patina with a side of character.'' Door ding shaped like Florida, dashboard glow that rivals a Lite-Brite. Drives straight, rides plush, sips premium like it's on a wine tour. Perfect for cruising campus, confusing valet guys, or flexing ''I paid cash'' energy. Gold never goes out of style; neither does not breaking down. yet.
