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.)

Welcome to the family! Enjoy your beautiful ES350. Feel free to PM with any mod questions that you may have.

Hi all, Just picked up a gently used 2007 ES350, couldn't be happier! Has NAV etc. fun to see all the tips and tricks to this wonderful ride. Starfire Pearl is in amazing condition, 91k, just doing the front brakes and oil/filter. Buddy who is a mechanic came
with me and was crazy about its condition. Looking forward to reading all the tricks and tips. Psyched! This is her on the lot, paid way less than what they owned it for six months ago.

2007 ES-350 Dark gray with very light gray leather interior. I have always been partial to white but this was such a creampuff for a 10 year old car I couldn't pass it up. It literally looks like it did the day it rolled on the dealer's lot new. Had 92k on it when I bought it. luxury package Navigation, bluetooth, heated/cooled seats, etc. but missing XM and want to add it. The first and only other owner had every service record from Lexus dealer. The only thing that I have had done since I bought it was to have the TPMS wheel sensors replaced. Most of the time the TPMS batteries on these only last 5-7 years and there was at least one that wasn't transmitting.

I have a 2012 Ram Outdoorsman for hunting and fishing. I had an C220 M/B for almost 20 years and it was getting tired. Have been looking at Lexus for some time and had done some research that showed the cost to maintain a Lexus was so much less than the M/B that it was a no brainer to go with the Lexus. I have been maintaining my trucks, cars, tractors, and airplanes for over 60 years and I plan to keep on doing so. But the newer vehicles are so much more reliable that I may not have to wrench so much in the future. I will be buying service manuals and looking for information and help as I get into my new car. And offering any tips that I come across as I care for this creampuff.

Hello,

newer to Post,

Have a 2008 ES 350 , 108K miles , pearl white, beige interior... its been a mule, and rides like a dream. It's actually wife's car, and she's (the car) starting to ask for a little attention. Did couple front end stabilizer links...brakes, some simple stuff, but this weekend she's getting new struts, towers, bushing., and decided to re-use the old springs... Want to keep this car, she's paid for , run's like a champ, so this ones a keeper.. I'm also a Bimmer enthusiast, but this Lexus has been a very impressive unit, Like it a lot... I'm sure to be referncening the forum for info on reat struts... Opted for the KYB OEM replacement shocks,,, and Lexus Mounts and Links.. I did some after market link on the front, and it's already tired, there's a difference,

Good day,
Ohio ES350

Default 2008 ES 350 for my teenager

Last week we picked up a 2008 ES 350 for my teenage son, who is getting his drivers license next month. It's in pretty good share with 110,000, single owner, everything working. It is Golden Almond Methalic, with Cashmere interior. All the recalls have been done with the exception of the Front Passenger Airbag Inflator one, which still needs a resolution.

I have noticed that the TPMS Reset Switch test yellow light is on all the time - I assume this is normal and indicates that the system is active? The actual TPMS warning light on the board is off as it should be.

Edit: As far as previous cars... obviously this is my son's first car. The other two cars in the household are a 2013 Toyota Highlander and a 2013 Honda CR-V. I had an old LS400 for years and I loved it. Lexus cars made in Japan are fantastic.

Default 2007 es350

Hello all. I am not new to Club Lexus as i have previously owned GS models but am new to the ES model and glad to be back in a Lexus.

i just purchased this 2007 ES350. The car is clean inside / out and low miles for the year. After signing all the paper work for the purchase I was given the inspection report from the dealer and everything checks out as in good working order. The only comment was about the wheels being aftermarket and some possible rubbing. I did not notice any rubbing at all during a 10 minute test drive on local streets. The rims have the Toyota stamp on them so not sure what they mean by aftermarket. I think these may be IS rims but not sure and hoping someone can chime in. Also, the tires look beefier than what I like (245/45/18) but I will wait to change until i wear these out.

I also noticed the headlight color temps don't match. The right looks like 5000 color temp, whereas driver side appear to be more of a 4300 color temp. The right side bulb was replaced recently so not sure if this is why. but i can live with this for now.

Good to be back and Thanks.
Marc
