Yeah, $5 worth of plastic. Johnson Lexus wanted $250 installed. I got them to throw it in for free.

The color matches perfectly and I like the look, so I'm happy with it.

ES350 Roll Call

Picked the following up June 22nd...

Crystal White / Cashmere Interior
-Intuative Parking Assist
-Navigation / Mark Levinson Premium Audio Pkg.
-Luxury Package
-Preferred Accessory pkg.

This car has everything but the radar controlled cruise control...And we love it! ($10K in options)
We traded our 03 BMW 530i. It was definately a "spartan" ride compared to the ES350.

I love the ventilated seats here in Texas as did the client I showed houses to yesterday.
I sold my 10 year-old Avalon to a friend and he is thrilled with it - still looked and ran great with 94K miles.

My wife "refused to exit" also!

Waasup Y'all

Hello everyone, Just picked up an ES 350 2 weeks ago! you might remember me from long ago when I was raving over the IS 300... well now I've finally got a lexus, and it's the ES 350!

I love this car. Smokey Granite, black interior, mark levinson/panoramic sunroof/upgraded wheels and I picked it up for $300 over invoice... A great deal on a great car!

I'm just starting to play with it, and figure out all the little undocumented features

I've already figured out how to override the navigation lock while driving, and I'm sure the rest will come soon

No pics yet, but I'll post some up soon!

In the driveway....

Tungsten Pearl
Gray Interior
Ultra Package
Park Assist
$2,800 below MSRP, which I thought was okay given that the car was specially ordered for the ultra package (none on the lot), plus $300 for tint.
