Back in 1992 in Canada, that 300E was close to $80,000. The ES300 was about $30,000. The 300E should have been MUCH more car right out of the box. Even compared to a 190E, the Lexus was $15,000 less. If I got 200K-miles out of that ES300, I would be pretty pleased on a cost/mile basis. I have seen plenty of older ES300's with that mileage, and they are pretty used up, but still have some life left in them. To their credit, all the electrical gizmos seem to work. If only we could transplant some of the Lexus power accessories into a car with a Mercedes engine.
