Lexus charges $150 for an oil change???? Oh my, what have I gotten myself into? That is crazy.

Not to worry. Go to any Toyota dealer and get the oil change for about $32.00. Camry with V6 engine is the same as the engine in the E350 so they have the proper filter and oil.
 
Good luck with it. I think you'll really like the car.

Correct - lots cheaper at Toyota. However, my Lexus dealer charges ~$50 for the oil change...$150? Something smells.

Hello all. I'm a member of the Lexus family, as I've had my '07
RX350 for a little over a year. I took my car in today to be serviced and my loaner car was an '08 ES350.
 
After spending the better part of the day pretty much running all
over town on errands in the ES, I can report that I didn't experience a single problem or any type of "hiccups" in the tranny of the ES. In fact, I noticed that it doesn't seem to
have the annoying engine-braking drag that I do have on the RX.
 
So I think the '08 ES350's should be fine!!

My dealer won't give in! by lexusbunny

I am so amazed how people can pay so much less than what the dealer asks for! The 2008 ES350 I want with premium plus (MSRP $42122 Invoice $36,917 before advertising fee). I offered $38,000 plus the upgraded tint that they offer (worth about $250) and they won't give in! I guess the dealers in Houston are more greedy.

I could not get the Houston dealers to deal with me either. I bought from Plano.

Have you tried buying through an internet site? Get price quotes from several internet sites.

Boston ES350 Purcchase price paid this week by dinoeck

OK folks, I found this forum invaluable to establish "real world" pricing this week when I bought my black/black ES350... So here are my final details:
 
2008 ES 350 with a premium package +
Full size spare
Rear seat air bags
HID lighting
Heated & ventilated front seats
Bluetooth
Cargo net & Mat
6 CD audio
 
Sticker was $38,502.
 
Paid $33,739 + $259 doc fee + TTL
 
Purchased from Herb Chambers Lexus. Shopped Ira Lexus, Lexus of Northboro, Lexus of Watertown and Lexus of Westport, CT (Via Costco purchase program).
 
The internet saleswoman at Herb Chambers basically said "call me last and I will take $500 off your lowest price" -- which she did.
 
I can tell you this: Watertown, Westport and Northboro TOLD me to buy from Herb Chambers at that price. They ALL said "that price is less than what we pay for the cars, you found yourself a great deal". At that point I guess I figured I had hit rock bottom (3 dealers opting out from a "I will drive there and buy now" phone call!).
 
So far, the car is flawless (oops, hope I don't jinx myself) and I have been amazed at the gas mileage (~28mpg for real-world not-all-highway driving)
 
Good luck to the rest of you!
 
Dino
