Traded in the ES350 for a new 2026 Genesis G80 3.5T – A Twin Turbo V6 with 375 HP. The top of the line G80. I did not take as big a hit on my 2025 Lexus ES350 as I thought I might. They gave me $47 Grand for the Lexus. (I paid $53.6 Grand for the Lexus). So in the end I had to pony up around $35 Grand and it was worth every penny.

I am absolutely loving this car. The seats are prefect ! - The cabin is whisper quiet and the Sound System is spectacular! And it drives and feels like a true luxury car.

 

NICE!!! don't like the look of the wheels though it took me back to 2000s era.

 

That's one way to solve the seat problem. Good luck with the G80
How did you pay $35k with $47k trade in from $53.6k purchase? What else do we not know from this deal?

 

I fixed up my post a bit.... I paid $53.6 Grand for the Lexus......

 

Clarity helped, now I see
Thanks

 

How much are your new rims gonna cost?

 

You appear to have responded to the wrong thread. Why would I buy new 'rims'. Do you mean wheels? WTF ?

 

Yes. Those rims are absolutely horrific. I just assumed you’d be replacing those.

 

Apparently OP didn’t appreciate negative feedback on his new trade-in/purchase humblebrag post, and sent me a PM with a simple “F you”.

LOL.

Enjoy your Genesis.

 

Agreed, at first I thought they were aftermarket rims from a riced out car

 

I actually don’t mind the rims / wheels — they’re interesting to me but definitely different for sure and something I’ve never seen or noticed before.

No doubt they’ll be a pita to keep clean inside the little square designs, or whatever you want to call them.

A matter of individual taste, I see.

 

I recall the rims come as part of a "Street Cool" package with matching upgraded exhaust system for extra presence.

how do you clean those little pockets in the wheels

 

I like how Genesis sell there cars fully loaded !
was looking at the 2026 g90 and only option was lighted door sills.!!! Everything else was standard .
imported came out with louder exhaust it’s called ricer..(I don’t meant the fart cans I meant tanabe apexi full exhaust etc!)
also had aluminum spoilers and carbon fiber parts rice..
bmw and Mercedes comes out like this and it’s cool??(double standards)”?
sorry but I can’t stand these idiot blasting there car from one stop light to another down the block making it rumble and fart..!!
most people here (or other car forums)don’t even own a car or one that’s in the same decade .
my es seat are comfortable to me maybe cause I’m not a fat person (5.9 150 pounds)and there designers are from a Japan so makes sense to me.!
OP got a new car that he likes cause he tried the es and wasn’t happy.
im happy for him he got his money worth!!!
and how does he clean the wheel properly with a soap water and a rag like everyone else!!!
