To the OP(original poster).

Just FYI, some of the members who posted above have decades experience buying cars and have bought a lot of cars.
Believe me, when I get ready to buy another car I will be reaching out for help too and sending private messages to certain members for assistance to get help.

Here is another tactic I heard a while back and may be something to be cautious about.
Person declined all the "DEALER ADD ON's" so the when it came time to sign the paperwork the dealer pulled a FAST ONE.

Handed them a Computer Tablet and were told to sign the documents with a finger or something and was told the paperwork will be emailed to them to save trees or something.
Plz don't do this- THEY ADDED BACK ON ALL THE JUNK and customer didnt know it when they electronically signed.

Recommend seeing the paper documents if buying in person and sign those only after careful inspection to make sure the numbers add up right, just my opinion and ideas.
Add- it's too hard to see what's going on scrolling thru a tablet screen and they have plenty of paper and ink, you can count on it.

So much knowledge on this forum from peeps who know a lot more than me so hopefully you get the help you need.

Maintaining an ES is not expensive, especially if you don't use the dealer. $2,500 is WAY too much.

Congrats and welcome. I think it's a perfect vehicle for retirement. It will last you good and be trouble free so you can spend your time worry about other things if any. Like many here, I've had quite a few Lexus vehicles. All I did was oil change and rotation. You may need to do more if keeping it long but I would do as needed. Their shops are not bad and you can also have it done at Toyota or 3rd party. And if you haven't decided what to get, like many said, decline them all. Not worth it. Too expensive and quality is not as good as outsiders.
