Hi Guys,
We have finally decided that we will be getting a new ES 350 in the near future. The dealer is now doing a search for a Ruby Red UL with the ML audio and rear spoiler.
I have really enjoied all the post about the 350 and they have been a help in making our decision. The pictures everyone posted is just awsome.
Keep your fingers crossed that he will find one soon.

Welcome hybridhaul,

That’s one hard UL to find, the Ruby Red is a awesome color with the black glass roof. I wanted one of those Ruby Red Ul’s my self a few months ago but my dealer said I would have to special order it. Once it’s been located I’m sure your going to really enjoy it.

Ruby Red UL with the ML audio and rear spoiler.
That's my DREAM car...with the cashmere interior. Good luck in your quest.

We are really pumped about it. I know it may be a hard combination to find but hopefully the dealer will be able to locate one soon. If not, I guess we will just have to have it special ordered.

I wanted the Smoky Granite Mica with black interior and that was a little hard to locate. But I waited and I am glad because you definitely want to have right color combo accordance to your taste. Good luck.

I agree, if you can wait get the color combo you really want. What interior color would you get with the Ruby? I personally like the black interior which looks great with the glass roof. If I had to do it again, I would do Ruby/Black UL.

Well, It appears that the Dealer I was talking to is trying to give me the run around. I talked to him yesterday and he said that the Ruby red isn't available and it would be a 4-6 month wait to get one. He also stated that The SGM is available but it would be a 3-4 month wait on this color. The kicker is....he now wants a $500-1000 deposit before he does any more searching for one. So much for Internet dealers.
We have a local dealer (100 miles away) and he said the dude was full of crap. I have an appointment with him Friday afternoon. In the meantime, he is putting out feelers and seeing if one can be located.

How unfortunate!

Hopefully, you can find the one you want soon...

Good luck!

Isnt this amazing, My local dealer said he can get a SMG/black in 5-6 days.
He also stated that Ruby red with black will have to be special ordered as none is available. It looks like it may be the SGM. Since this is for my wife, and SMG is her first color choice......
