Good day to you all! I've had my Lexus for about a month now.

I have a 2010 Lexus ES350, fully loaded.
Dark gray exterior, black and tan interior.
Sadly I have no pictures at the moment.

Previously I had a 2008 Scion tC! I'm not sure what else to post.

Hello Everyone!!

I'm a first time Lexus owner and just bought a used 2008 ES350 black with the taupe interior, chrome Lexus rims, with Navi unit with 86k miles on it. I'm not sure what other bells and whistles are in the car but so far I love it!! I've been lurking on the forum for the past few days looking for tips to help me make a decision to go through with the purchase. Glad I did!! My former daily was a 2006 Toyota Sequoia. I'm a Toyota guy so this was the natural progression. Looking forward to learning more about this machine and get pointers on how to make it more to "mine".

Default 2008 with 49K miles

Hi All,
I just purchased a 2008 ES with 49,000 miles from the original owner, a close relative. She's a realtor and didn't feel right about driving clients around with the still-unresolved Takata air bag issue. So, she decided to buy something else (new Lincoln Continental) and I got the Lexus. No accidents - runs and looks great. The color is pearl white with tan leather.

So far I am impressed with the refinement of this car, although I sometimes miss the utility of my former SUV. I hope that Lexus will be able to fix the Takata inflator soon.
Cheers!

Default New To Lexus

Hello,

I recently "inherited" a 2007 ES 350 with 23,500 miles (that's correct - 23,500). It is black with a tan interior, and appears to have all of the available options (although I could be wrong).

I've had the vehicle since mid October. So far it is extremely enjoyable. the ride is spectacular, and the car has quite a bit of power, at least compared to the 2013 Hyundai Sonata from which I came. I had to replace the tires already, which was disappointing, but I had to replace the OEM tires in the Sonata before 30k miles as well. I'm struggling getting used to the lower gas mileage (used to @ 32 MPG on the Sonata), but as long as gasoline stays relatively inexpensive, it's not that hard to swallow.

I've read through a number of threads so far, and have learned quite a bit. It always amazes me how willing people are to give of themselves to help strangers. So thanks in advance to all from whom I will benefit.

Congratulations, and use it well. I bought my new Ultra Luxury ES350 in April 2006 and it now has only 21325 miles on it. The low mileage is because I usually travel by plane. Lexus Corporation told me that they only made 376 ES350 with my color, and with all the extra equipment afforded in this model.

I too bought my 07' ES350 with only 23,000 miles on it in May 2016. However, I've already put 15,000 miles on it Won't stay low-mileage for long!

Yeah, mine isn't going to stay low mileage for long either. I put a tad less than 100,000 miles on the Sonata in about 3 and a half years.

Thanks for the warm welcome, folks!

Thanks for organizing a site for some of us "not so mechanical" people where we can get information on some simple, basic issues that might not require a trip to the dealership.

Cool 2009 ES 350 Premium Package

Just got my much awaited first Lexus. I did my research on a lot of cars.. This one stood out to me. This thing drives like cutting a piece of butter lol. I'm all about getting the best bang for your buck. And this is one of them.

Black 2009 ES 350 99k
White/ Cashmere Interior
Tinted Windows / 4300k LED Fogs / Icey Blue Daytime Running Lights / Custom Illuminated Lexus branded shift **** / Lexus door holograms / Upgraded LED puddle Lights

Premium Package
Heated/Cooled Seats
HID lights with AFS
Wood / Leather option
Bluetooth
Preferred Accessory Pack
XM Radio
All weather mats
Navigation / Back up Camera
All the bells and Whistles.

I will say, I'm surprised this version doest not have the rear sun shade.. But none the less, it is very well equipped.
I am upgrade from a much loved 2002 Acura TL 3.2. Which is an amazing car itself with 292,000k on the dash and still kicking.
The Lexus ES 350 to me is like the TL on Steroids lol.
Glad to be a part of this community as I'm sure we will all be a great help to each other. Happy Driving!! (Pics in my gallery, I will add more soon.)
