Just purchased a 2007 ES350 from a friend that is moving up to the 2013 model of the same car. It's Black Sapphire with Cashmere interior. Ultra Luxury model with 84K miles and impeccable service history at the Lexus dealership.
Previous vehicle was a 2002 Toyota Tacoma Xtracab SR5, TRD, 4x4, V6. I bought it new and drove it 136K miles (on the original timing belt, BTW). Sold it on Craigslist for $8,300. It was in very good condition, overall.

just purchased!
2008 ES 350
Love it!
Royal Ruby Metallic / Cashmere Interior
Premium Plus Package with Heated and ventilated front seats. Includes:
- Leather-trimmed interior
- Heated and ventilated front seats
- Driver's seat power cushion extender
- Lexus Memory System to control power driver's and front passenger's
seats (except lumbar), outside mirrors and steering wheel
- Electrochromic outside mirrors with tilt-down in reverse
- Rain-sensing intermittent windshield wipers with mist cycle
Additional Options:
- Lexus voice-activated DVD Navigation System
- High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps and Dual-swivel Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
- Wood- and leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift ****
- Preferred Accessory Package (includes Cargo net, Trunk mat and Wheel locks)
I got a screaming deal on it...it had 55000 original miles, I paid $19000 for it, after the pre-buy inspection from Lexus from a private party. Took it to a body shop, got all the dings out, did the 60,000 service and new tires, so with that ...another $1500...it's still a screaming deal. Car looks absolutely brand new...one owner, elderly couple.
I'm happy.
Love it!

Excellent Screaming Deal . . .
WOW, next time I'll let you do my car buying!
I bought 2008 ES350 w/66K miles and CPO for $26K, same options as you. Bought from a dealer, hence the higher price.
Black Saphire w/grey interior.
very happy with the ES. Great MPG too.
prior auto: M-B CL500 - 2004
got tired of repair costs.

New ES Owner
Hello all,
I purchased a 2009 ES 350, Matador Red Mica w/ black interior. One owner, 24k miles - looks like new. I feel like I got a good deal on it - googled the VIN and saw that it had been offered a few months before by a Lexus dealer as CPO at a much higher price. I purchased it from an out-of state dealership. I took a one-way flight, the salesman picked me up at the airport, and I drove it 650 miles home.

Just got my 2010 es350 around 2-3 months ago right after I graduated college. Must say I am loving it so far. Added my image as an attachment.
For the color mine is Truffle Mica (Grey)
Has the Premium Plus Package with a lot more features than I want to type out right now :P
Haven't really modded it yet. This is actually the first car I have ever purchased under my name :P
Throughout high school and college I used my dad's camry and then his maxima when he got a new car. So coming from those, my Lexus feels incredible when I drive it. I am an IT Systems Engineer so the included tech in the car I am loving. I programmed my droid to automate a few things when I get in the car and I must say its wicked cool coming from my past cars. Anyways looking forward to learning more about my Lexus and things I can mod it with!

So Happy With My New Lexus!
I am a first-time Lexus owner and purchased my brand new 2012 Lexus in late April. It is the Mica Red with the parchment interior, has the beautiful chrome wheels, and has everything on it but the more powerful audio system and the double sunroof. Since I'm a big OU Sooner fan (surprise!), I love the colors. I love everything about this car and I loved my previous car, which was a 2006 Toyota Solara SLE with 29,000 miles on it. Whoever bought that car got a great car, too!
I love this forum and wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and an absolutely great New Year!

Whoa, what a Christmas present to myself. Sold my 99 Honda Accord with 200k miles on it, and got an 08 ES350 with 58,000 on it. It is black (obsidian) with a cashmere interior. Came loaded with the ultra premium package, and was a local, one owner car. What's a fellow to do with 2 moon roofs??
