Late last year I got 2011 ES350 base with few options like heated and ventilated seats, full size pare, wood steering, proximity sensors, etc, with 24 miles, for 31.5K in southern California.
Black with parchment interior.

Love the car.....it's little softer compared to my Infiniti it's replacing. first Lexus and so far - after 1000 miles - I am pretty pleased with the choice.

Hello everyone, new guy here. Not new to the Toyota family but new to Lexus. I just bought an 08 with Navigation (got the latest disc), rain sensing wipers, rear shade, park assist...basically everything except Mark Levinson, Laser cruise control, and active head lights. It's a certified pre owned with 50k miles and it's the dark grey color (forget the actual name of the color). So far I love it although my co-workers tell me I bought a Granny car! That's ok, I'm loving the ride of this thing!

Just bought a CPO 2009 ES 350 40K miles tungsten pearl with black interior and navigation. I'm loving the ventilated seats. I was surprised that the 2009 IS and 2008 ES with similar miles were about the same price as the 2009 ES. Got it from Jim Falk Lexus in Beverly Hills.

Only change I want to make is adding a better iPhone integration. The aux input is just not good enough. The dealership wants to charge $800, or I can get the iSimple Gateway installed at Best Buy for $250.

Hey everyone! SO EXCITED! Just leased a brand new 2012 ES350. My first Lexus (and first time owning a vehicle besides Chrysler/Dodge). Made me an offer "I couldn't refuse!"

I'm new to the forums, but I've been a Lexus enthusiast and driver for five years. My2007 ES350 has over 117,000 miles on it; I bought it new. The worst problem it's had is a loose mud flap, fixable with a screwdriver. (The tool kit included in the trunk next to the spare tire is a nice extra feature.) It's Ruby Red Metallic. (I was sad to see this color discontinued, though it looks like it's making a comeback in the new GS, with a different name.) Features include a navigation system and rear spoiler.

My last car was a light blue Toyota Celica. I had been following Lexus as a potential future brand for me when that car was still new, as I liked Toyota's track record for reliability, and I knew I would eventually reach a point at which I could afford to drive a luxury vehicle. To me, part of luxury is not having to worry about whether or not the car will start each morning, and I had read reviews of other premium brands proving to be less reliable than mainstream cars. (This trend has since changed, as brands like Jaguar and Mercedes Benz have gotten much better reviews in the last few years.)

When it came time to replace the Celica, I test drove a Toyota Solara and then compared it to several Lexus models; the difference was immediately noticeable. Not only were the vehicles themselves better, but the dealership experience was substantially better. The Toyota dealership was busy pushing and plugging, trying to get me to buy today. Lexus took their time; the sales rep. was a consultant rather than a pesky huxter; the cars sell themselves. The dealership looks more like a hotel lobby than a car place; given that I rack on miles quickly and thus have frequent maintenance appointments, this is nice. Also nice is that, with advance planning, I can get pick-up and drop-off. That, and with loan cars also being Lexus, I get to see the new features and models.

I expected that the choice would be between the Toyota Solara and a Lexus IS. The IS seemed a natural progression from the sporty Celica. But, having been to spas and having stayed at luxury hotels in Las Vegas spoiled me to nicer interiors, so I found myself preferring the more plushly appointed ES and GS. I test drove an ES350 and a GS300. I liked the GS, but I could not at the time justify to myself the price difference. The difference in the step-up from the Solara to the ES was substantially greater than the step-up from there to the GS. The GS was sportier, but the ES, for all of its reputation as a relaxed sedan, had more engine power and better acceleration than my father's 1989 Pontiac Firebird, and it had a V8.

At the time, I suspected my next car would be a GS450h. The hybrid then was well above my price range, but today I have a reservation on one in the new body style.

I am pretty new to the Club and while surfing through I thought to post some comments :

I made up my mind Lexus ES350 over Mercedeze E350 and ended up buying ES350 before the end of last month. I am impressed with style and luxury so far.
