Okay I've had a 2008 Ruby red premium plus which I just traded for a 2012 Starfire Pearl. Not UL but the equivalent of a premium plus. I paid 3K less then I paid for my 08. . Love these cars.

Congrats on the new car. Let us know your thoughts on the 2012 vs. the 2008.

I had an '07 and traded for a '10 and thought all of the small changes that were made over the model years made the car even better overall..

Default I bit the Bullet

I decided to move on up. I have a 2001 ES300, I just bought a 2009 Midnight Blue ES300. It has everything but satellite. I want to add that and an Ipod integration. Any ideas on anything else that i can add

Well I have had it a week today and would say I like the center arm rest and the way it opens and the fact it's bigger, much better. I also like not having to pay $350 for iPod integration and the Bluetooth streaming is great. I also paid like 300 bucks for the satellite integration in the 2008 and this one, of course, came with the shark fin.

I especially love that I got to keep my chrome OEM ultralux wheels and put them on the new car.

The fact I paid like 4k less for the same level vehicle is the icing on the cake.

Default 2007 Lexus ES350

Been here before but never posted anything. I've had my 2007 Lexus ES350 since 2007 and I can easily say it's the best car I've ever had. I get a lot of compliments everywhere I go! I need to drop it, smog the taillights and get some better speakers. Welcome to Club Lexus! ES350 owner roll call & member introduction thread, POST HERE-009.jpg

Smile Just got a 2008 ES350

Just picked up this Lexus ES350 from Lexus of West Palm Beach, great car with only 37k miles! I've owned most of the major brands over the years and just traded in my BMW for this one. I hope I made the right choice! So far so good. I want to darken the tint add spoiler and side moldings, and maybe get larger wheels one day. It's Ruby Red with Beige Interior

Bought a 2012 ES350 couple of weeks ago in Dallas area. Tungsten pearls with light grey leather, nav, park assist, bluetooth, XM, heated/cooled seats and rear sunshade. I was looking for a low mileage CPO but with all the incentives and discounts, the new one came cheaper than any 2010+ CPO I could find.

Upgraded from 05 ES330. Loved the car but the lack of hesitation alone is worth the upgrade.

Bought a lightly used 2011 ES350 today - 10,750mi. Satin cashmere with tan interior, cooled/heated seats (yay!! cooled), nav, park assist, bluetooth. Got home and found there's no owners manual. D'OH. Trying to figure out how to get it to play my ipod-like Sandisk portable and also program the garage door opener.

I didn't get a great price, I didn't get a bad price. I got what I wanted for a fair price. I'm happy with it. Very nice dealer, stand up guy. Not a Lexus dealership.


Wish list: remote start (can they do that?), maybe tinted windows, twenty years younger.
