Default New to this forum 2007 ES 350

I bought my ES in 2016 with 85 k miles
Currently it has 196 k miles
My previous car was a 1990 LS 400 - I loved it!
My ES is rough around the edges, but runs like a champ!

Very nice. I just traded my 2012 in for a 2019. It was a great car and I think you will love yours.

Good luck.

Brucelee1— I bought a 2012 ES350 just a year and a half ago. I have this idea that it represents a sort of end of an era for the model. Is there anything you miss about it compared to the 2019? For example does the newer one still have the side mirror puddle lamps that I get such a kick out of, etc.? Thanks!

It is really too early to tell.

I love the simplicity and classic design of the 12;s interior. The 19 is busier, though the materials are really top notch.

The ride is also better, cabin is quieter. That said, the 12 is the bomb.

Howdy!

Just purchased a 2009 Tungsten Pearl ES350 with about 91K KMs (57k miles) with the Ultra Luxury Package I believe. Came with a lot of options such as heated/cooled seats, pano roof, navigation, etc. Have a Model 3 and Model Y and adding this as it is replacing our old 2007 Camry XLE. Some photos attached!

Congrats.
I never saw a 5ES with the rear ashtrays. Is that an UL thing?

Thank you! Not entirely sure to be honest, but if the only difference is the package then perhaps!

I just did some research and found out that Korean/Taiwan/Brazilian markets got left and right rear ashtrays.
MSRP for one is $884.

My 2007 Lexus has ashtrays, I thought this was in all Lexus. Well, mine was sent to Brazil, and has less things that I see in US models as HID lights (mine ha halogen lamps), headlights washers, multimedia radio, TPMS, back camera and some other things I do not remember by now. Unfortunately, here in Brazil, most of the luxury cars are sold missing a lot of accessories that are normal in US, Canada and Japan.

Default 09 Lexus ES350

I recently bout a 2009 Lexus Es350 with 90k miles, and I LOVE IT! But I would like to make it a little quicker. Any suggestions? And the fact that you have to buy an adapter for bluetooth is outrageous
