On Dec. 31, 2007, I purchased and will be picking it up either today or tomorrow a 2008 ES350 with the following: Black Sapphire Pearl - cashmere interior Ultimate Luxury Package NAV/Mark Levinson Parking Assist Preferred Accessory Package All Weather Mats The price was $40K, before taxes and title/tags/etc. I have been guarenteed that the title/tags/etc would not exceed $155. Lexus is matching a loan quote of 5% that I got through USAA. |

Hello all, first post here now that I am a happy owner of the 350 (so far). I purchases the 350 with the Premium package, and the accessories such as trunk net. The one seriously disappointing part of the buying experience was that you really are stuck with the 3 packages they offer, you can't add things like the rear sun shade. MSRP Before Options: $33,720 MSRP w/Options $37,700 Color: Smokey Granite Mica with Black Leather I paid $33,000 including dealer delivery fees, but not including DMV fees and tax. This was from Westminister Lexus in Orange County. |

| Has Lexus ever offered any incentives? | |
| I live in the Columbus, Ohio area and am looking at purchasing an ES 350. The dealerships here don't seem to want to deal much. Has anyone had any luck or are you aware of any other dealership in Ohio that will deal. | |

I read this thread extensively before buying my 2007 ES350 last spring, but nowhere did anyone mention their experience with the Navigation System. I know this forum is for another topic, but if you don't search specifically for info on the Nav System you might not know it is a very pretty, but very bad system . It has one positive feature; its wonderful touch display. BUT... first and worst, its inputs are all disabled above 6 mph including dialing by Bluetooth, entering a destination, and changing a destination. If you think its voice recognition system will substitute I'll tell you that the voice recognition system has not once understood a spoken street name in many, many tries. You can not enter or change a destination until you pull over, period. This really sucks. Its database, in spite of purportedly being larger than any other, cannot find addresses my much older, bottom-of-the-line Garmin can. There is no function to go direct to a city without putting in an address. You'll want to do this all the time on a trip. If you enter a street number it doesn't know it just sits there making you guess over and over until you enter a good number, rather than telling you the range it knows as does the Garmin. The only time I used it the POI database took me to FOUR pizza restaurants before I found one still in business. I would strongly advise you skip the Lexus Nav System, primarily because the way they have allowed their lawyers to convince them we cannot drive and touch a screen at the same time. This thing turns into a $2,400 lump of greyed-out buttons above 6 mph. In many cases pulling over is more dangerous than programming while you drive. If you need a nav system buy a Garmin. If you insist on a built-in unit, buy an Acura which is programmable underway. If you doubt what I say, Google will find you plenty of dissatisfied buyers. I hope this helps you keep from wasting $2400 like I did. This thing makes me so mad I now refuse to hit I Agree to make it work. By the way, Lexus requires you to agree to obey all traffic laws in order to use their navigation system. Huh?
