Looking to buy a 2025 Ultra Luxury es350. I heard there were some options that are not included in the UL package and were additional. Could anyone please tell me what options are available for the UL? I would hate to pay 57k for a vehicle to find I should have paid the extra 1k to get a feature that I would have really wanted.

Thanks for any help

The easiest most concrete way is to go on Lexus site and build the car and it will show you options to add. You can also see what the UL contains. Also going to Lexus dealer websites you can view the window sticker of UL vehicle and it will show the UL features and most normal options that are put on car.

You can also go to the top of this page, click on “Tools” and select “VIN Decoder” from the dropdown menu to see what is included in that specific build for a vehicle already manufactured. But, yes do use the “build your lexus” link on the lexus.com website…it will show you what is possible. You can also open up the current brochure available online. Don’t forget to read the small print!

When on that site, be sure to add your zip code, because different areas of the country sometimes get different option configurations shipped to them, based on previous demand. I had a friend in Atlanta who had a difficult time finding a four wheel drive RX, because most of the cars shipped to the southern states are front wheel drive.

The options you are referring to are accessories. Lexus installs some of these and includes them on the window sticker. They are listed some places as "port installed options". Some are listed at the link below.

If the MSRP is $57,000, it probably has pretty much all the available options, though I have not checked to see if the 25's have higher prices than the 24's. Some paint colors cost extra and not all UL cars have an expensive color. I have the sticker for a 24 ES350 UL that I did not buy that is typical of the cars I was considering last year. They pretty much all had the same option list. The MSRP was $56,490 and it had a standard cost color (caviar). The price would be $56,990 if it was cloudburst gray. Here is the sticker so you can see the option list that added $4,410 to the UL base price of $50,930. For what it is worth, I bought a luxury trim with options that made it almost the same as a UL. My MSRP was $55,190, mostly because I do not have the triple beam headlights. The only feature that is unique to the UL is the rear side window shades. When you are shopping for cars on the Internet, just looking at the advertised MSRP will tell you a lot about what options the cars have.

For factory installed options not included in an ES 350 Ultra Luxury go to the (US) Lexus ES web page, scroll down to the styles section and click on “COMPARE STYLES” to get a FEATURES comparison table. Expand the table’s sections and look at the ES 350 Ultra Luxury column. (Depending upon your display size you may need to scroll the column heading to see the ES 350 Ultra Luxury column.) Every feature in that column with a check mark is a standard feature and anything with a boxed O is a factory installed option. There’s just three high cost options, panoramic glass roof, triple beam headlights, and Mark Levinson audio system, and two lesser cost options, color-keyed rear spoiler and Smart Access key card. Lately, quite a few, if not most, Ultra Luxury models are built with all those options but you need to verify the ES’s window sticker you’re buying includes those options you want.

There is also quite a few port installed options that I believe Lexus classifies as Accessories. Things such as carpeted or all weather floor and trunk mats, illuminated front door and trunk sills, cargo net, Lexus dash camera, etc. Some of those accessories are pretty much a standard include with every ES (e.g., carpeted floor and trunk mats, key fob gloves) and others seemingly depend upon the whims of local dealers installing things to bump up the vehicle’s list price. It isn’t necessarily critical that Accessory type features be already installed/included in the delivered to you ES since they can be purchased and added on later.

To mirror grp52's comments. It sounds like you're looking for a list of features or equipment that are never included as standard on the Ultra Luxury trim, regardless of its configuration. I've posted details on this frequently. To reiterate, while the following items can certainly be added to a vehicle (and would be charged accordingly), they are not part of the standard equipment package for the Ultra Luxury trim. The only exception is the color-keyed rear spoiler, which is standard on Hybrid and F Sport models, but the rest are always optional add-ons.

Now, because of their popularity, you will almost always find options like the Mark Levinson sound system, panoramic glass roof, and smart access key card already added as installed equipment to vehicles in dealer inventory. However, it's important to remember that officially and technically, these are still optional upgrades and not standard equipment on the Ultra Luxury trim itself.

I'm looking to purchase a 2025 ES 350 Ultra Luxury, but of course at the best price (aren't we all!). Has anyone recently purchased one? I'm seeing MSRP at $56,799 and I know there's room to lower the price.

I'm looking for legitimate sale prices. Preferably in the Dallas area or even in Texas but open to other areas of the country.

All ES350 is generally 8% - 10% off from MSRP, of course highly varies based on time and location.
A Blue Fsport handling ES350 with Red interior, of course is gonna sit in a the lot for forever, and they will let it go for 10%+ off MSRP.
A dark ES350 UL will probably sell quicker, hence it's hard to get 10%+ discount, but it's not impossible, especially you have multiple dealerships within 100 miles radius.
I'd always contact multiple places, ask for 12-15% off, will take 10%, and willing to settle at 8% if I can't wait or it's a tough find.

That was my experience. There were a few ES350 ULs on the lot when I went shopping, but the dark blue ES350 UL fully loaded with a nice tan interior, on the showroom floor, was clearly the most elegant. I bought it and drove it home that day.
Two years earlier, a friend and his wife made Lexus their last stop on a car shopping tour, loved and immediately bought a dark blue ES350 off the showroom floor on a Friday night (they stayed open late so they could drive it home).
Although white/silver/grey cars seem to be be au courant, the dark colors still have a solid fan base.

Smart move. That’s the most elegant and handsome color combo, and I think on most sedans in general. It’s less common now, but it will be more appealing over time.

That's exactly what I'm looking to buy, blue exterior/macadamia interior. I know it's coming in within the next week, dealer has been informative. MSRP at $56,799 so it's loaded. I'm looking to get best deal in the Dallas. Any suggestions on price point or percentage off of MSRP?
