The dealer we visited had the tire warning sticker only on cars with the 18" (at least that we noticed)
I'm having a tough time making a decision on the tires. Dealer is going to make me pay the $880 fee for the 18" even if they swap them for 17"
I have read many reviews from people stating the 18" wheels are to be avoided. However, a few have posted the 18" look better and you can just get michelin tires and the drive quality/road noise etc will be the same as the 17"

If it was a special order it would be cheaper for me since i could order it with 17" wheels instead of it coming with 18: (and $880 charge). Dealer told me special orders take 4 months.

I agreed to the deal over the phone 13% off Msrp and went to the dealership to sign papers and take care of financing. I had gotten approval from my credit Union for 2.34% on a 5yr loan. Lexus offered me the 1.9% which I was very pleased with since nobody else had offered a rate that good.
I think I made a mistake though. It seems people have been getting $1,000 for using Lexus financing. It wasn't offered to me as an incentive and I didn't think to ask. I foolishly didn't think to look up threads here on financing until after the deal. If I could do it over again I would have asked for that $1,000.

Thanks..wish I could say it was due to my great skills in negotiating, but not really. However, it did help that a local paper highlighted the ES 350 as a car you could get a good deal on in March due to incentives both to end buyer and dealer.
The US dollar and Canadian dollar fluctuate a lot relative to each other, and right now the Canadian $ has weakened a lot, but car prices (MRSP etc) have not yet moved in relation to the currency changing. A few years ago some Canadians would buy cars in the US as the deals were better, but now that trend has reversed.
In any case, I am delighted with the new purchase and it is my first Lexus. Matador red with parchment interior.
