I bought my first Lexus about a week ago from Lexus of North Miami. It is a 2009 ES, CPO with 24k. Good service records and 4 new tires. I paid $23.5k. It is pretty well optioned out, no sonar cruise, no pano sunroof and no levinson but everything else. (I really wish it had Levinson but just getting Nav was hard enough to find) The car is in extremely good shape and was purchased originally in late 2009. I traded in a 2004 Audi A6 which was becoming too much of a liability.

So far so great. I had a lot of trouble initially finding a comfortable seat position- I am 6-3 250#s and the seat just seemed too high up for me. I was able to finally work this out (or get used to it) and now feel great when in the car. I am super impressed with the ride quality, quietness and while the car has zero feel for the road I feel that it handles surprisingly well. Torque steer is ridiculous but that is not a big deal for me. Tocuhscreen and nav are nice. Voice recognition isn't as accurate as our Acura.

The name of the game was to get into something safe, reliable and warrantied that could fit my wife and two young kids and all of their crap comfortably. This car has really fit the bill perfectly and I hope to drive it for a while.

Love the color combination as it was on our 2007 Ultra. Now have a 2011 non Ultra, red mica / tan interior. Good luck with it.

Thanks guys. I was getting on the expressway this morning and was able to accerlate pretty hard from 35-80mph all while on the speakerphone. Cabin is so quiet you can continue a conversation while doing this! Really impressive. I like the car more and more every day.

Welcome! Wow, you got a better price then me, but other than that, my car looks just like yours. I'm loving it. I recently tinted the windows and love the look of the car even more.
