2007 es350 cpo
Wife got a silver 07 ES350 CPO in 2009. She drove an Avalon prior. Has been a great car so far. I've always joined a club for the DIY's and opinions of other drivers.

Hey guys...!
Just joined...my name's John and the car is actually for my wife Raina....hence the screen name,lol.
We just inherited this from her dad, it's a '08 with a hair under 18k miles. Been kinda scraped up getting in and out of a rather tight SF single-car garage so I've got some bodywork ahead of me and getting the curb rash out of the wheels then having them powdercoated a slightly darker & richer shade called titanium-nickel which should complement the color well, specs are as follows:
Smokey Granite Mica/ Black leather
Premium Pkg
Heated & Ventilated seats
Rear seat airbags
Bluetooth
Full-size spare
Trunk mat
Wheel locks
Already have all the appointments made to make this car shine, I do love the way it drives.
I was in the car biz and actually helped broker this car when he bought it
Thanks,looking forward to asking lots of questions!
John
PS: Oh, it'll replace my wife's '02 Accord EX-L which just turned 60k and was bought new.

New acquisition, Dec. 2013. 2010 ES 350, Tungsten Pearl, two-tone black/grey interior. I used to drive an LS400 (which I loved) but I am dumbfounded by all the advances in this 2010. I love the backup camera--never thought I would use one, but wow, it can be helpful! I am a Lexus girl through and through. I looked at a lot of other cars, including uplines, and nothing could ever compare to Lexus.

Wow...you had your windshield tinted and you live in CA? You must live in SoCal, right?
Looks great but you're not worried about being hassled?
I have an appointment with my tint guy just as soon as the car get's out of the bodyshop late next week but I'm probably just going with 35%-45% tint, whichever one looks best to me on the car.

That won't fly here in NorCal though, and since this is the wife's car, I'll make it look sharp and evenly-balanced but I can't get outrageous...I'd just be asking for trouble.

Hi folks,
New to the forum and Lexus, I just purchased a former loaner from a local dealer.
2012 ES350
Stargazer Black
Saddle Tan
My primary transportation has been a motorcycle for the last few years and my wife's Yukon when I need four wheels, the ES350 drives great and I'm looking forward to reading-up here!
All I have are the pics from the dealer site...

Hey everyone, new owner here.
I bought a used 2007 Lexus ES350 as a gift to myself for taking the bar exam (plus my 2000 Camry was slowly starting to fall apart).
Smokey Granite Mica with grey interior
Nav System
83k miles
Not sure what other options I have because I don't know what comes on them originally.
Always driven Toyotas, had two Camrys, and a 4Runner and all had over 120k when I got them, but they did me well, so I wanted to stay in the family but buy something more fitting for a future attorney.
Had it for a week and am excited to see where it takes me the next few years!
