Default New '08 ES owner

Second Lexus in the garage. 2008 350 Premium Plus with 128k on it. Purchased for 9500 before fees and taxes.

I have to say this car is quieter and smoother than I had imagined it would be. I drive an 04 LS, and while the ES is not as quiet and smooth as the LS, it is pretty close. I attribute some of the road noise to the Michelin Premier tires (Michelin Defender T&H is a much quieter tire). The seats are comfortable, with ample cushioning and support. This was a 1-owner vehicle, and it is obvious the other owner was rather small.

Looking forward to many years of enjoyment out of this one.

Congrats - -they're clearly great cars with thoughtful engineering.

We've had 4 of the ES models and enjoy the one we have now- just hit 100k.

i bought a 2008 ES 350 new 10 years ago. Got 210,000+ miles on it now. Never had one problem! Runs, drives, rides and looks like a brand new car! I did just buy a new 2018 ES 350 UL, but I kept the 08. Just couldn’t let go of such a great car!,
