Just picked up a Starfire White Pearl 2011 ES350 (w/ premium package?). Thought I would get a grown up car since I am a grown up...haha. I also have a 2008 Subaru FSTi w/ 300AWHP. I guess that covers both sides of the spectrum...haha.
Thinking about getting another set of wheels and tires for the Lexus. Do the newer ES350 wheels fit? Looking for some OEM 18" wheels. Otherwise, looking at the Advanti Racing B1 Lupos in 18x8.
The wife and I needed a new car and after some shopping decided on a certified, one owner Lexus:
2012 ES350 - certified, one owner
We wanted a sun roof, good stereo system, 3rd party wheels.
Found this 2012 ES350 with 11k on the clock. Wife loved it right off. Doesn't have the high end radio (no NAV system), so I'm open to suggestions for a 3rd party radio upgrade.
I'd like to customize the headlights European style, and install some illuminated door sills. Any suggestions there appreciated.
I'll upgrade the wheels when this first set of Michelins wear out, but with new rubber on the "certified" car, I can wait.
Otherwise it's got all the standard Lexus bells and whistles. Has the 24 valve V6 and I'm impressed with the performance.
I'm retired and restore Fieros for a hobby, so I've got the sport's car end covered. Also have a one owner (me) 1994 Olds convertible - Florida car which satisfies the Florida convertible needs (nothing but obsolete name plates for me)! Ride a Harley when I really have an urge (in Florida that's about 360 days a year)!
Figure at my age it's the last car I'll have to buy so going with the Lexus seemed a natural!
My name Andy. One month ago my wife and I, we bought 2007 ES350 grey/pearl color.
I was thinking about this car for a long time, and it seemed to me that it is almost perfect choice. In my mind perfect choice blend of two cars ES350 and LS460 Those two cars has both advantages.
So I am very happy guy now, my previous car was Toyota Corolla 2004 which I improved a lot (soundproofing, new great speakers, new shocks, brakes, and many, many other things and I took a long time to do things right. Guy that bought my car don't know how lucky he is.
And now I have ES350. Have to admit this is not the car that you can improve a lot. It is already very good car. One thing I notice immediately speakers not that good and to change them (front three) well... at the moment I have not even slightest idea how to change them
Also, I have some other minor staff that needs to be corrected but it is for another thread.
Anyway, happy to have this car and happy to be on this great forum. You guys great!
I pulled the trigger and now have a 1 owner 2007 ES350. 93K on the OD.
It is clean clean clean. Drives awesome.
I came from a Mustang Cobra Drag Racing background. had that 1998 cobra for 16 years since new. Had 48K on it when I sold it. Lots of Modding going on there.
Not really looking to mod out the Lexus but definitely looking to maintain it. I wonder how long that will last.
Our other car is a 2004 RX330. (106K) I'm all of the sudden a Lexus guy.

Previously drove a BMW 528i. I've had the Lexus 3 weeks now and i'm enjoying it so far!
Hello, just purchased a 2008 Lexus ES350 w/ Navigation and Mark Levinson audio system. It's is Royal Ruby Metallic and Had a low 39k miles. Looking forward to this car, purchased the Lexus Extra Care Platinum coverage, do you all think the Extra coverage is worth it? I know I can cancel at anytime and get prorated funds back.
My family just got a 2011 ES350 with Navi last week. It's a CPO vehicle with 22,xxx miles on it. CPO warranty for 3yrs/100k, extended that to 6yrs/100k. The car rides so smooth. It's white with ivory leather. Heated/Cooled seats.

I also own a 2008 Lexus ES350 which I bought new back in 2008. I now have 35,400 miles with no problem whatsoever. I'm never a fan of buying extended warranty. My advice is cancel the warranty and save the money you will be paying for the warranty. Maintain the car as recommended in the manual and I'm pretty sure you will have the same success as mine does. Good luck.
Waiting on final paperwork from neighbor to buy his leased 2012 ES350. He has leased many 350s and each time he is ready to trade one in he checks with me to see if I want it. I always do but finally pulled the trigger this time. It is black with Nav, new tires, and satellite radio. It has around 35k miles on it. Going to get it waxed, tinted and leather treated bit don't plan on adding much more to it unless I see some ideas on here that others love. Have wanted this car for years so hope I am not disappointed!
Drove a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer with no additional equipment so this is a huge upgrade!
I purchased a 2008 LEXUS ES350 Color: Silver w/Tan interior. miles: 132,500
GPS navigation package w/backup cam. Price 10,000.00 Dealer: Forth Worth Nissan
Still trying to figure things out as this is my first time with a keyless start car (keep reaching to put the key in the ignition, lol). No owners manual or records at all. I only got 1 key FOB also.
I just bought and successfully programmed a used remote myself from ebay now I have 2 FOB's.
The car runs great, but to be cautious since I don't have any maint. history I will be getting the 120K service done at Park Place Lexus soon.
Other vehicles: 2002 GMC Envoy SLT, 1997 Toyota Camry, 1995 Nissan Altima.
Just bought a 2007 Lexus ES 350
40,000 Miles on it
Smokey Granite Mica / Grey Interior
Love the car. It's my first Lexus. I also own 3 other cars for my family including 2002 Toyota avalon, 2005 Infiniti QX56, 2011 Honda Accord. The ES 350 is a little on the boring side but its comfort and smooth ride make up for its lack in thrill!
Nav voice activated with blue tooth and rear camera.
Lexus premium audio system (no Mark Levinson...bummer)
Park assist
rear seat side airbags.
rear sun shade.
Rear spoiler.
Full sized spare.
HID headlights with AFS,,,whatever that is....
wood and leather steering wheel.
Preferred accessory package but missing the cargo net.
Nice car....but now the bad news....
no dealer service records after 3485 miles.....at least, none to be found from this site.
And, it only has one key....and its the transmitter kind.....the car is push button start. Got one ordered, but holy sheeet its expensive for a key!
