Hello guys .
I am an owner of 2019 Lexus ES 350 ultra luxury and past 100,000 mi. I bought it as CPO with 50,000 mi on it last year and have been driving since then. No problems whatsoever except regular oil changes. Just wanted to share with you.Thanks

 

Wow, that's some heavy mileage. Drive for work, I guess. Local or long hauls?

 

Thanks for reminding me why I traded my Tesla for a Lexus. 15 service visits in 2.5 year on my 2018 Model S. I have only 13,000km on my '22 ESh but it's been FLAWLESS.

 

That’s a lot of visits. What is the reason?

 

I put about 45,000 mi per year, mostly within the state and some interstate traveling as well. Mostly for work. Obviously. That's why I never buy brand new cars. Depreciation is so fast on my cars 😀

 

I was so tempted to get a hybrid one but I decided to go with a simpler V6. I think the next one will definitely be a hybrid ES350 I am sure. Or maybe RX 350.

 

Fuel up if you want to go another 100K

 

Some would say the Toyota hybrid is more simple/reliable (the transmission if you call it that is very reliable and doesn't have gears or belts like a traditional or CVT, no alternator, no starter, electric driven water pump and power steering, 100K + mile brake life, 4th generation of hybrid technology - with 5th on the way) - but yeah - there is an expensive inverter, batteries as well (these are not too expensive to replace as there are good 3rd party options), and the drive motor(s) to consider.

 

I’m on my second Lexus a 300h now, traded the first at 100k without a single problem and we’ve had two Camrys that went 100k miles each and were also flawless one was also a hybrid.

had a couple BMWs and a Jag, never again.

 

Dang I thought I drive a lot hah. You easily do about 3x more than me each year. Glad to hear your ES still going strong, but not surprised either.

 

It's always therapeutic for me to read posts like this. I sometimes hear the siren song of Audi and BMW, and I miss the more exciting steering and handling of cars in my past. I used to own two Volkswagens, so you'd think I'd be cured (within six years after buying it new, I lost count of the failures on my GTI at 58 — I'm not kidding), but I guess addiction is lifelong.

 

Please tell me your experience with BMW. For a little while I was interested in the new M4 but don’t trust German cars, especially BMW. Did you buy new? What problems did you have and at what mileage?

Thanks

 

Top spec 2018 Model S P100D. Had rattle over bumps (replaced front air struts), replaced steering column stalks because of erratic operation, replaced a steering wheel button that broke, front end rattle over bumps came back they refused to replace the struts again, cracked piece of wood trim on dash, charge port door problems (replaced), DRL started to burn out needed headlight replaced, one key fob outright failed, charge cable that came with car failed completely, spoiler needed replacement because it "lifted" up, replaced the camera on the left front fender due to errors, etc. I could go on, I'm sure there were more, but that's what I remember off the top of my head. It had only about 20,000km (12K miles) on when I got rid of it too, it was not even high mileage.

Just garbage quality overall. Got tired of needing service a month or two after being "fixed" for something else. 1980's Yugos had less problems.

 

I don't get people that buy those pieces of junk.

 

My son in law has an 18 M4 purchased new. Definitely more maintenance costs but it's been reliable so far.
