Replying to: timwilmath (Mar 19, 2009 9:03 am) NAV and ML stereo are separate options; not necessarily bundled together. I have NAV but regular stereo.   I agree the standard stereo is lackluster; my 2003 Audi A4's standard radio far exceeds this. However, I find when I up the volume (I do tend to like the volume a little high), that the stereo's sound fills in and it isn't so bad. Personally, I also find the quiet of the car helps too.   There isn't anything you can do about it since the ML stereo has more speakers.

Replying to: djdj (Mar 20, 2009 5:11 pm) Since I posted this I went to an after-market audio store. Guy recommended adding a sub-woofer with amp. The cost would be about $500, but he said the improvement would be significant. I think I'll give that a try.. Replies to this message: djdj (Mar 21, 2009 11:17 am) timwilmath (Mar 28, 2009 3:29 pm)

#2685 of 2727 ES-350 from Avalon Limited by avalonfan Mar 28, 2009 (1:12 pm)
I just acquired a '09 ES-350 loaded except for rear window shade & the upgraded headlights. Experior color is dark blue with the light tan interior. A nice looking rig, to be sure. I traded in a 2005 Toyota Avalon Limited, fully loaded. Blizard Pearl with Ivory interior. My Avalon was a perfect trouble free ride, but the lease was up and the '09 Limited didn't measure up to the ES-350's quality and ammenities. The '09 Limited was dated. I have less than 3000 miles on the ES, but so far I am very happy with the ride. The smaller interior space, compared to the Avy has taken a bit to get use to, but the interior finish and quality outshines the Avalon, as does the quiet ride. My gas miliage is also 2-3 miles per gallon better than the Avalon. My dealership in Bellevue, Wa attached a VIP sticker to the car windshield, and they do offer free car washes 7 days a week. No limit. The service department looks more like a hospital surgery suite than a car service department. They provide a loanaer car and shuttles depending upon how long they need to keep your car. I rate my experience purchasing the Lexus as top notch and look forward to many years of service from the car.

Replying to: timwilmath (Mar 20, 2009 5:29 pm) I wasn't too thrilled with the "standard" Lexus ES350 sound system, so I went to an after-market audio shop (Audio Itch in Tampa Florida) and had them install a sub-woofer and 200 watt amp in the trunk. The cost was about $550. What an incredible difference. It really punched up the lows and makes the sound much richer and fuller. If you aren't real happy with your sound system, you might try that.   Tim

#2688 of 2727 Need help!! by lexusnut Apr 02, 2009 (3:54 pm)
Hi People, I need your help, I am buying a lexus es 350 ultra package with ML audio system. The MSRP is 44, 094. The best offer I have received is 39,500. They are offering it to me at 6.0%Apr despite the fact that my brother ( who is cosigning the car) has perfect credit. My own credit is excellent as well. Do you guys think it is a good deal.   Also what do you think about the car and specially the panoramic roof and ML system. Id appreciate if someone who owns a similar lexus posts their feedback on these features and others.   Thanks Replies to this message: ateeqahmad (Apr 02, 2009 4:09 pm) noisylcar (Apr 03, 2009 4:04 am) noisylcar (Apr 03, 2009 4:15 am)

Replying to: lexusnut (Apr 02, 2009 3:54 pm) Hello,   I got the exact same deal for my ES350 2008. Even the 6.00% APR. The only thing different between your deal and mine is the MSRP. When i configure the lexus on www.lexus.com , I get 41K MSRP.   If you are getting more discounts, grab it. This car runs superbly!!!

Replying to: lexusnut (Apr 02, 2009 3:54 pm) when they bring the car for you to drive they have it running/warmed up. when this is done the tolerances have tightned and the noise is gone. when you have it at home and "cold start" it the car will have the noise. on my car it makes the noise for 1o or 12 minutes each time
