ES300 with stick shift?

[gang$tarr]

did any lexus ES300 come with stick shift? Cause i hate automatic and it seems like they're all auto when i look for them

[gang$tarr]

oh and how long do you think one with 180,000 - 200,000 KMs would last..... i'm not sure what the conversion is to miles, but it would probably be like 120,000-135,000 miles

I doubt ES300 would come with a stick since its a *luxury* car..
Since its a Japanese car, it should last for quite sometime

The ES300 did come with a stick shift... only about 200 were ever made for the US market... not sure about the Japanese market though

Yes there are some in stick shift. I actually own one. It's a 1992 ES300 with a 5-Speed manual transmission. Theyre very rare as you have notice though. I have NEVER seen another one anywhere whether it be online or in a magazine. Everyone is surprised that it is a stick shift because its a "luxury" sedan. I bought it used but I know that Lexus manufactured them because in the owners manual, there are sections describing how to operate an automatic car and a manual car. Its a nice car thats fun to drive. Hope you find/found one.

Yes I have seen a couple on eBay. That would be an ultimate ride! I think they were the earlier models like the 93-96 maybe

I have a 1992 ES300 with a manual transmission fully loaded. Bought it around 100k miles in 2002, and still using it at 220K miles. Recently spent about $3K on new A/C system, New clutch, Cat converter, and front suspension. Runs just fine. Everything works on the car, incl. all the bulbs, sunroof, etc.If someone gives me a good offer I will sell it.
