Has there ever been an F version of ES?
I am new to the forum. I live in New Zealand, having moved 5 years ago from California. I have owned several Lexus cars over the years, and really prefer them above all others. Right now, I have no Lexus.
I have been talking to a guy here in NZ who does a lot of trading in used Lexus cars. He is trying to sell me a car he is bringing in from Singapore, it is not in country yet. He says it is a 2004-2005 (first registered in Singapore in Dec 2004) ES300F, which he says has more bells and whistles than usual, and he is asking a premium price.
I know that Lexus has introduced some F versions, notably the IS-F. But has there ever been an ES-F? If I go for this deal, what am I getting into? I cannot check out the car yet, it is not in NZ yet, and the seller is about 1000 km away from me.

Aperantly there was such a model, as recent as 2006 at least, but not in the North American market. I just did a quick Google search and found several for sale in NZ.
Not sure what the differences are between the es300 andes300f but a ore thorough Google search should clarify it

Also, i looked into it, and the 'es300f' doesn't have anything specific change wise vs. our top-of-the-line ES300/330. I guess for the markets over there, its made to signify that it comes with leather, A/C, ABS, sound system, etc.

it looks pretty much the same as ES330 in the US market.

Thanks for the replies. I have googled up a lot more information for myself.
It seems the F is a trim option designation, and most of the ES300F cars I can find are in Singapore. The car in question is in NZ now, and I have seen pictures. Looks sharp! I probably will go ahead with the purchase.
I wish I could find a listing somewhere of what is included in the F option.
