Sometimes our expectations can be problematic in themselves.

Best car I ever bought was a 1976 Pontiac Catalina... $300 new, ran great for the better part of 2.5 years and I sold it on the street for $750.

Man I wish I still had that car...

Wow, are you saying that you bought that car in 1976 new from a dealer for $300, and after driving it for for 2.5 years it appretiated and more than doubled in value to $750 for which you sold it?!? Amazing!!!

There is also a intermentent rattle in the back that is driving me crazy that they supposedly fixed, but didn't. I am very disappointed in my Lexus experience even though they are standing behind their product. I expected more out of the supposedly No 1 luxury manufacturer. .

i'm scheduled in a couple weeks to get the rattle in the back fixed. i don't have any faith in them fixing it though.

My magic 8 ball says i'm gonna bring it back to the dealer again and again and again. it's just gonna be a perpetual headache with this piece of **it car.

If i were you, i would not pick up another es350. You're gonna get the same crap.
