Default 2014 es 350

Almost done with this beauty. Just a few more changes and a nice set of rims and shes ready to go. Looking to either put 19s or 20s on her. Concave with wider wheels in the rear. Any opinions on rim styles or sizes would be appreciated. Let me know what you guys think.

Sorry for the angle of the pics.

Wider wheels for the rear sounds like a bad idea on a FWD. You should keep them the same all the way around.

Hi all. Just picked up a 2014 300h. I'm coming from a '14 Kia Optima SX ( non-turbo). I was looking for a hybrid and almost picked up a Optima hybrid. Wife talked me out of the Kia and I couldn't be happier.

Every option except the ML stereo, 37k on the clock. Couldn't beat the L certified warranty and financing, plus they gave me more $$ than anyone else would on my trade.

I loved my Optima, but honestly, not even comparable. Did a 35% tint same day. I'm going to see how I like it as I'm coming from 20% all around.

Hi, We just purchased the 2016 ES 350 in Eminent white pearl with the black leather interior. It has all the bells and whistles. Mark Levinson is very decent with imaging , separation and depth.

Thanks Guys.
Moving from 15 year old Honda accord ( and 2005 honda pilot), it is such a pleasure to drive this.

Howdy folks,
Just bought a CPO 2013 ES 350. I've been lurking on the forum for a few weeks now, reading as much as humanly possible. Love the site - thanks for being so helpful!

Hi - Brand new here. Hoping to soon be the new owner of a CPO 2013 ES350, Deep Sea Mica exterior, parchment interior; Luxury Package and Nav system, plus some misc. extras (BSM, HID headlamps, parking assist, etc). 18,600 miles. One-owner, lease return. CARFAX is clean, no accidents. Any thoughts on a fair price? Dealer is asking $32,900. Tires are brand new 17" Michelin Primacy. Brakes are "almost brand new". I love this car, but don't want to pay more than I should. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum! I'm not looking to sell, but for that price I may consider selling my 2013 UL with less than 17k miles. j/k, but I would say that's about 5 to 6k too high, if not more. I'm no expert, but a quick search on KBB seems to confirm this.

That seems a bit high, which part of the country are you in? The new tires are great, I'd say that adds about $1,000. From what I've read on tire rack, those are great tires but they wear quickly. Mine are originals and there's no way they're getting to the 60,000 tread wear rating - I'd be surprised if they get to 40,000 miles. I used an online pricing tool for my recent purchase (2013 CPO, 23k miles, nebula/black w luxury,nav, BSM,xenons,backup camera, moldings). I don't remember the site I used, but it showed the dealer pricing for my specific car(I think it used the VIN) and it was originally priced at 31,999, then it sat for a few weeks so they dropped it a couple thousand and I got it for a little less than that. Pricing will depend on the geographic area I believe. Good luck! I've already taken mine on 3 long (200+Mile) road trips since I bought in late May and I love it.
