All three dealers told me that when I need the oil changed or anything done to the car for the first 50k miles they will come to my home/office and drop off a loaner and take my car. I was surprised Sewell will do this because I am a good 30 min drive with out traffic from them.
 
My neighbor has two Lexus cars and they come to his house every time he needs an oil change, he said it’s the greatest service.
 
I went there last week to have my new plates put on, they also washed it and I was out the door in 30 min.
 
They will hand wash your car anytime. If I lived next to the dealer I would be there every Sat morning to have my car washed.

P.S. The real kicker is that you do not have to replace the gas in the loaner.

I am looking for a Black exterior / Light Gray interior combination.
 
Although this is a possible combination in the ES350 catalog (both 2007 and 2008), local dealers here in Northern California are telling me the ES350 is only available as Black/Cashmere (tan) or Black/Black combinations for the Western United States. Anyone else experience this situation?
 
P.S. I recall a member here from Texas who recently purchased a 2007 ES350 Black/Light Gray combination.

Bluetooth Option by fastcavette

Does the bluetooth option automatically "give" you the 6-CD option as well?
 
It's not altogether clear according to the Lexus website or the brochure...

They're lying. I went to Glendale and asked for black on black and the dude said its doesn't come that way.
We went to Oxnard....they had it on the lot.
Call up Shabnam Riz at Oxnard....they have it on the lot.
Tell them Mark from Valencia told you to call.
Call info....805 area code.

This is pretty much how all the systems with Nav are set up, at least in this area.
 
I had given up on getting a decent price on a 2008, so I started searching for used cars. I found a 2007 with Nav listed on AutoTrader by Sewell. I called and got a salesman. He said that car was sold. I asked him to look for any cars with Nav in either Smoky Granite or Black Sapphire. An hour or so later he emailed me back with the above 2008, and quoted $38422 selling price. I was a little stunned, since nobody was discounting 2008s here, including Sewell. I called him back and he verified that this was the offer on the '08. I managed to overcome my surprise, and asked him if he could move any further down on the price. He said he thought he could get $38000 even approved. Would I take the deal at $38000? I said if you can get that at $38000, I will immediately come down and buy the car. He called back 10 minutes later, dropping the other shoe. He told me that the sales manager had "by mistake" quoted the car thinking it was a 2007, and they are not offering that kind of deal on 2008s. However... since they already made the offer (by email) they would honor it. Which they did.
 
Sewell is a class operation, so I tend to believe this story. They told me there was no profit in the deal, but they felt honor bound to go through with it. I felt honor bound to accept it. Personally, I think there was a little bit of hold-back left, but I cannot verify that right now. All in all it seemed like a very sweet deal considering the newness of the model.
 
The care is amazing. I highly recommend the Nav option. I think it will be worth it to us.
 
Later I had a dealer in Austin tell me that $38000 was definitely a great deal for me, and not very profitable for the dealer.

Yes I bought black exterior, and light gray interior. That did not seem to be a problem. It came off the boat in Long Beach so I don't know why CA dealers cannot get it unless they are sold out.
