Finally made the deal
Here it is. I wanted a CPO 2015 ES 350 and found one at a reasonable price ($27.3K) with 19.2K miles. From prior experience in the family with these kind of cars, CPO was important to me. In this area, white works the best due to warm weather. Planning to keep it until the door falls off (just like my previous 20 year old Corolla, where the door didn't fall off but the plastic inside was all cracking up and window actuators stopped working, and it needed new catalytic converter).
Love these features:
1. Integration with iPhone and apps
2. Keyless entry (didn't know about it until my hand touched the groove and that locked the car, and with a simple holding the door, it opened): I know, nothing new to you all, but to me it was a quite a revelation. I don't read manuals, especially the 700 page thick ones.
3. NuLuxe seats: very comfortable

Dan, I would suggest you at least look over the manual. There are some features or settings you can do, and some that the dealer has to do. There is a section in the book on this. Some dealers charge for changes, but you are supposed to get it done free when you buy a car. Ask your service guy about it.

Thanks. It is hard to take an engineer out of me. We never read manuals and just start fiddling with the stuff. But you are right, I should at least try to flip through it. I was amazed how painless was syncing of my iphone via bluetooth, and how easy it was to program garage door opener (didn't need manual for that). But I think, I have to force myself to read through (not looking forward to that at all).

DanZ, LOL, its really not that bad and you don't have to do it all at once. I sure didn't. They do word things a little confusingly here and there though... And you'll find some cool features you may not know about.

Sweet ride! I have a 17 white also (no spoiler) and irs an amazing machine. She is my new love!!
I found the same mind-blowing features as my previous car was an 06 Honda Accord EX V6. Seems like the ES has some standard features, but the quality and ride is far from standard in my opinion.
Lots of luck with her!
