#1 of 10 2010 ES350 News and Changes by smarty666 Jul 30, 2009 (6:57 am)
I was trying to find out if anyone has heard about when Lexus is going to bring out the 2010 ES350? Since the 2010 Camry has already been brought out I would expect it would be soon. Also, does anyone know what changes are going to be made with the refreshing? Replies to this message: jreyna (Jul 30, 2009 6:22 pm)

go to www.burlappcars.com got a pic of the nip/tuck on the front and rear of the 2010 ES350. Buy one now. the new one's grille looks out of place on the ES.

I agree, if what I have seen of the refresh for the 2010 ES is to believed, then the 07-09 models definitely look much better IMO...

#8 of 10 Is it just me or are Lexus starting to look "down market"? by easypar Nov 13, 2009 (6:14 pm)
Went by our local Lexus store to check out the possibility of replacing my just sold ride with either a new Lexus. I was looking at ES, IS and GS and we were underwhelmed!   Walking down the aisle to check out the various options and how the exterior paint look my wife claimed they all made her yawn! She has an RX, 2004 in Bamboo Pearl and we were going to buy an 06 GS in Flint Mica (that might not have been the name in 06) but got money thrown at me to keep working so I had to settle for something that wouldn't lose all its value at 55,000 miles per year.   Those were sharp looking colors, and the array of colors offered on the Lexus website all look as good, ON THE COMPUTER. In person they are BORING. I was suprised that they have as many colors as they do, 10. More is not better.   I guess the proof of their scimping is in the prices on offer. I don't recall what an ES ran back in 04, but I doubt if they're 1000 more now, and it shows. Especially when you consider the slide of the dollar against the yen.   As we left the lot my wife said that the Subaru Legacy, at 10,000 less looked as good or better and the Nissan Maxima looked to be a better value.   Is it just me or do others feel the same way.
#9 of 10 2010 ES350 Pros & Cons by goomba1 Nov 27, 2009 (10:32 pm)
I just purchased a 2010 ES350, after looking at MB E350, BMW 5 series, Audi A6, Buick LaCrosse and Nissan Maxima (the new Acura is too ugly so didn't even check it out). The ES350 had the best features I wanted for the money. The new features that made me wait for 2010 instead of going for a 2009 (that was 2 months ago) were HDD NAV, the stability control "off" button (to get out of snow better) and the WAY NICER interior wood gives a much nicer ambiance -- the darker wood is so nice compared to the reddish wood.
#10 of 10 Seeking advice on getting a pre-owned (certified) ES 350 by jonaay1 Nov 30, 2009 (7:40 am)
I have mostly purchased new cars in the past (Camry's) and generally keep them for 8-10 years and average between 5K and 12K a year. However, my wife would like to own a pre-owned Lexus ES 350 ('07 - '09) and we're finding comparing apples to apples on a used Lexus much more challenging than any new car purchase.    The only option we'd like to get is Navigation and back-up sensors.   Other than checking the Carfax reports, can anyone give us some advice on whether we should consider a particular year (i.e. '07-'09) and/or price range to get the "best value?" Are the '07s virtually identical to the '08s and '09s or was there a problem with a particular year?   (We've seen '08s from as low as 29K up to 36K and '07s from 24K to 32K. We were thinking that an '07 might give us the same Lexus quality we're looking for - for less, but if it makes more sense to go for an '08 or even '09, we're open.   Any thoughts you might have on these and some additional questions below would be very much appreciated.   I.E. Does it really pay to get the dealer "certification" or purchase from a private party and have it thoroughly checked out by a private mechanice?   Assuming service records are available in most cases, if the pre-owned was a "loaner," is that less desirable than a corporate lease or is a vehicle that had been owned by one person preferable to a leased car? Are we better off accepting a higher mileage vehicle (i.e 30,000-50,000) for a price concession or just sticking with under 20K?         Thanks for your feedback!
