Default Anything new on the ES330 02-05 transmission issue and ECM memory?

Hi all,

I am a new member.

I am planning to buy a pre-owned 05 ES330 and have test driven about 10 cars so far. I was vaguely aware of the transmission issues but was puzzled when I found that each car that I drove seemed a bit different. At first I thought that I was crazy. But, from reading this thread, it appears that a lot of it may depend on what was "learned" from the previous owner, as well as whether the car has had any flash updates from the original. As far as the "learning", can much of this be corrected by unplugging the battery cable? As far as the flash, if I get a car under the Lexus Pre-Certified Warranty program, will that cover it?

Or, should I change my plan and buy a different lexus (or another brand??!)

other than this issue, I love the ES

thanks
