#2644 of 2727 2009 ES and IS by praz Sep 06, 2008 (10:39 am)
2009 ES and IS was posted on www.lexus.com on 09/05 but not the pricing. The price increase on ES is $200 and on IS is $300 MSRP. Replies to this message: praz (Sep 06, 2008 5:44 pm)

Replying to: praz (Sep 06, 2008 10:39 am) I may be wrong but this is what I found on www.lexus.com..... 2009 ES 350 w/premium plus package(no nav) is cheaper by approximately $800. They have increased the base MSRP by $200 but reduced the premium plus package by $1,000. Premium package is no longer available.
#2646 of 2727 Re: Lexus ES350 Stock Sound System [glevitan] by mdames Sep 26, 2008 (2:43 pm)
Replying to: glevitan (Sep 05, 2008 5:40 am) I have the stock system in my ES350. Like you, I'm no audiphile. But I think the system is fine. It clearly is no Mark Levinson. My wife has the ML system in her SC430. It is a wonderful system. But listening to CD's and the radio in my car is actually good. Not as good as the ML, but it works for me. Unless you really must have a top notch sound system, the standard system should be fine.
#2647 of 2727 Free Car Washes? by toddan Oct 28, 2008 (1:59 pm)
Is it true that any Lexus owner can go to any Lexus Dealer and get a free car wash? Replies to this message: amf1932 (Oct 28, 2008 3:09 pm)

Replying to: toddan (Oct 28, 2008 1:59 pm) No, it's not true! But if you have your car serviced there than, yes. Lexus dealers on not in the business of washing cars.
#2649 of 2727 iPod interface by emedway Nov 05, 2008 (4:15 pm)
The ES comes standard with an IPOD port, but an interface allowing for easier viewing/use is optional. However, the dealer tells me no ES's come from the factory with the IPOD interface, at least in New England where I live. Instead it is a dealer installed accessory. Unfortunately, this both increases the price and requires the dealer to remove and replace the dash. My main concern is the potential for squeaks and rattles later on caused by this procedure. Thoughts?   thanks
#2650 of 2727 Satellite Radio by djdj Nov 05, 2008 (6:49 pm)
I test drove the 2009 ES Monday night (in the rain) and really liked it. Very quiet even with all the water on the road.   I want satellite radio in my next car. The A4 and TL have their modern antennas but the ES doesn't. According to the salesman, the demographics for the ES are for 'older drivers' who don't often purchase satellite radio so Lexus doesn't bother integrating the radio.   I was told that XM radio gets the black box (about 1 inch square on the trunk and that the Sirius radio gets an antenna inside the rear window.   I know you have to pay a lot extra but that is okay. I'd prefer XM but don't want the antenna on the trunk.   Does anyone here have Sat Radio? Which network do you have and where is the antenna?

Replying to: djdj (Nov 05, 2008 6:49 pm) Hi. Since Sirius and XM are merging it probably doesn't make a difference. I have a 2007 350 and had the small black box placed inside the car on the back ledge behind the seats right next to the third brake light. No problems with receptions although at first the dealership said that it wouldn't work there I pressed the issue and found out that their GM had his put there too. Good luck.

Replying to: alien2 (Nov 19, 2008 1:29 pm) I ending up buying a 2008 ES350 with XM. My dealer said they only mount the antenna in the rear package shelf. Works fine once the single got activated. Quite a pain to get that done. The salesman said he has a lot of trouble with XM activations.   Unfortunately we've had a lot of snow in Cleveland and I won't drive the new car in that so its seen a lot of garage time. Maybe tomorrow I'll take it out.   Love it so far. Replies to this message: qkslvr (Dec 17, 2008 8:49 am) djdj (Dec 19, 2008 7:21 pm)
