Hello, I picked up my new car on Friday in New Jersey.
Model ES350 with Luxury Package Obsidian (Black) and Parchment (Ivory) Navigation System Package 17-in split 10-spoke alloy wheels with High Gloss Finish Rain Sensor Intermittent Wiper w/ Windshield De-Icer Blind Spot Monitor Intuitive Parking Assist Power rear sunshade High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps Wood and leather-trimmed shift knob and heated steering wheel Alloy Wheel Locks Cargo Net & Carpet Trunk Mat Additional warranty to 8 years / 100,000 miles Matthew 2000 Lexus GS300 1992 Acura Legend 1981 Mercedes 240D |
Ordered a fully loaded 2013 ES350
After many frustrating calls and e-mails I was finally able to place a special order for the 2013 ES350. I wanted all the safety features and nobody has one coming with the Pre-Collision System. Also, with the high end packages most cars come with the 18 inch wheels which are rated at "substantially less than 15,000 miles". I didn't want the heated steering wheels with leather but had to order it because of the Ultra-Luxury package, makes no sense on a custom order but so be it. I had to get VP level assistance from Lexus headquarters because the special order web site that the dealers use is not running yet, it had to be entered manually, what a pain. They said it will be built in October. I waited a year for this car so a few months will not make a difference. I also wanted the full size tire on the alloy wheel as a spare but that is not orderable. Different headquarters people told me it will fit in the spare tire well but one said it will stick up. I guess I will check it out when I get the car and order it later if it fits. I don't want a 100 mile rated spare when I drive 1300 miles from NJ to Fl. The car will be red with parchment interior, Ultra-luxury package and all other features.

My dealer is putting a $600 dealer fee on the invoice. Did yours have that kind of a charge? Thanks robagt |

The Lights did me in!!
Went to look and drove new ES ended up trading in my 06 GS ! Oh well you don't really need a good salesperson because the car really sells itself ! (IMHO) Drove silver ,but bought obsidian with parchment .This gorgeous thing was right in the center of showroom where lights made it scream for you to take it home!! And the rest will be history come Friday PM!!
Obsidian w/parchment Blind spot monitor 18" wheels HID lights rear sunshade Luxury package Park Assist Rain sensing wipers Wood&Leather shift knob... Accy Pkg (trunk mat etc...) MSRP 44322 Got a decent deal with no DOC fees or ADM stickers. At this pricepoint they should sell a ton of ES's !!! vacarman02 (Virginia resident:) but nearest dealers in NC) |

Wish I hadda known...would have ordered sooner.
Just ordered a 2013 ES300h White w/parchment leather...fully loaded, Ultra Luxury package with all options. Didn't realize this package had to be special ordered; :doh:now I'll have to wait :angry:. It should arrive around Thanksgiving or early December. I wanted to see one in person first and they didn't arrive at the dealership until mid-August.

We picked up a Starfire Pearl ES350 on Tuesday. We have had plenty of envious eyes and numerous compliments. We traded in a 2007 IS350 and the extra space is welcoming.
Model ES350 with Luxury Package Starfire Pearl with Parchment interior Navigation System Package w/ Backup camera - 8" 17-in split 10-spoke alloy wheels w/ Liquid Graphite Finish Rain Sensor Intermittent Wiper w/ Windshield De-Icer Blind Spot Monitor w/ Rear Cross Traffic Alert Intuitive Parking Assist Power rear sunshade High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps Wood and leather-trimmed shift knob and heated steering wheel Alloy Wheel Locks Cargo Net & Carpet Trunk Mat For those that like WeatherTech mats, I have put in a product request for the ES350. The only 2013 Lexus they have mats for is the RX. I was told that 2-4 weeks before they are available. |
