I agree with 2007es350. You should attempt to get lexus to buyback your cars. If they refuse, persue the lemon law. I was as fed up as you were a few months back and I almost took a 10k loss to trade in my ES. Thankfully, I let my head cool a bit and got lexus to do the right thing and buyback my problematic car. It does take a bit of effort, but the end result will be worth it.
Alternatively, if you really want to unload it, I would suggest trading it in now, or private party it before the '08's come out and devalue your car even more!

I agree it is.
At first though, knowing dunno's photoshop skills, I thought he had combined a GS and LS and blended the two car pics together...LOL
dunno, go get the scoop on them for us, find out if they pass the no annoying issue muster.

FWIW - auto markets are changing rapidly... China and India have hella nice rides in the sub $5000 USD range.
Wait till you get to drive the new Chery... They copy everyone and are CHEAP! You will soon be able to buy 4-5 of these for the price of an ES... At that cost, who cares? They become damn near disposable. I love the way they use Westerners to advertise the car.
The logo even looks frighteningly Toyota....

Farwell ES350 UL, Hello GS350.
Long story short my dealership called back this afternoon with an offer that was to good to pass up. Traded in the ES and got a good return on my ES purchase price. Discounted the GS350 4K and made me a super good deal on a set of 20” expensive rims that were already on the car. Mercury Metallic / Black Interior fully loaded ML, NAV, PA, XM, HID, RS Needless to say I’m totally jazzed about the deal and car.
Finally 8 months of chaos is over for me. I feel like I’ve graduated from ES350 boot camp and ready for a better time. Don’t know what else to say tonight, so I’ll try to post some pictures tomorrow some time. Good night all.

It's the Hyundai Genesis. Currently have some details up here about it (you may have to scroll down a bit).

Thanks guys, there I was yesterday at work wondering what in the heck I was going to do about this ES. Then my wife called with the offer from the dealership, do you what that GS you keep looking at for $$$$. They met my offer of 2 days ago.
Suddenly it was like the sun came out after a long storm. Went to the dealership and did the paperwork again, seems like I was just there 4 weeks ago with the ES. Anyway drove it to work today and love the car. My biggest disappointment with the ES from the start besides the trans was “where’s the wood!!” I happy to say I have all the wood I wanted now. I want to thank each and every one of you for the support, laughs, information, and most of all being there for me.
I’m not leaving the ES forum because it’s home, sure I’ll look at the GS stuff but this home. Ok enough of the emotional stuff have a look at some of the quick pictures I took. Thanks again guys.
