Default Hi!

I am the proud new owner of a 2015 Lexus ES350 Crafted that was picked up 3 weeks ago. First vehicle I've bought myself, very happy with it thus far!

Purchased from and driving in Houston, TX.

Default Rear sensor plastic casing

The plastic casing around my rear sensor on my back bumper got tore out...any ideas on how to find a new one without buying a brand new sensor?
The dealership wants $300, it looks like you can buy a used sensor on ebay cheap but all I need is the plastic o ring casing.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Lexus world I'm a new arrival and happy to have found this forum!

I just picked up a '13 ES 350 off 2-year lease. It has 9600 miles and seems to have most every option, although there are so many individual things I can't really be sure. All I know is that it has the NAV unit, the perforated heated/cooled leather seats, the rear mechanical sun shade, fog lamps, etc. Any way to tell if I have everything one from that year could come with?

It will be primarily my wife's car. She is coming from a Buick LaCrosse. My main ride is a '08 Jaguar S-Type 4.2l V8 (you know, no substitute for cubic... ;-). If you aren't familiar with that car it is more like a Lexus GS and is sportier than an ES.

I've had lots of cars though the ages: '68 Austin Healey Sprite, '68 Pontiac GTO, couple of SAABs, couple of VW Sciroccos, couple of Chevy Citation X-11s, a Dodge Spirit R/T, a Ford Taurus, a Mitsubishi Diamante, and the Buick.

Happy to be here, looking forward to learning all about Lexus ownership!

Hello to all my fellow Lexus owners. My wife and I just took delivery of our new "post retirement" wheels, a 2015 ES350 from Lexus of Naperville. She has been in our garage since last Friday's delivery as the window tint needed five days to "cure" and we have two other cars to drive in the interim, but I sure do love seeing her in the garage when I walk through. She is a silver beauty with black leather interior and a luxury/navigation package. Lots to learn about all the bells and whistles so I'll likely be asking lots of questions of you "veterans" out there.

pab12 and Eolafan, congratulations on your purchases and welcome to Club Lexus.

As far as the 2013 ES goes, the top package is the UL version, you can tell that one by the manual sun shades on the rear door windows.

It's a 350 the glass roof might be more noticeable.

Congrats! I live not far from that dealer. I asked in another thread, but never saw a response. Do you live in Eola? I think there's only a handful off houses and a post office there.

I have the same car, special ordered in late 2012 because few of them were imported with the radar controlled cruise control which is a wonderful convenience and safety feature, especially on long trips. I also value the automatic high beam dimming when cars are coming from the other direction, lane departure alert and blind side monitor. The sensing of people or cars behind and to the side of the car is also great.
