Whats up everyone, im new to this Forum, looks pretty tight, im thinking about gettin a ES300 2004 for a lease about 3 years, but im not sure bout it, i get my licneses on the 29th of april and im 16, *took segment 2 too late* i like the lexus looks on this ES alot specally the front end and the side, how do they drive pretty smooth? im also lookn in the autotrader, and they have a used one with 35 miles on it, black on black what i want, 2004, for 32Grand and its 359 a month a lease, so im figuring if one with 35 miles on it is 359 a month and costs 32 grand, then one with 0 miles on it and cost 35 grand should be about 400 a month, do you think? i would like the 35mile one, but i know by the time i get my licneses it will be sold lol sorry for typing so much, hopefully you understand what im typin? lol thanks

I don't suggest leasing any vehicle... because after your lease is up you're stuck with nothing. And if you haven't taken perfect care of the car they'll make you pay for whatevers wrong with it. Just get a used ES (or something else) cheap... yeah, it's payments... but at least it's yours when you're done paying.

Thumbs up

Although I agree with TC, leasing is a pretty good option when you want to get more car for less money but unfortunately end up owning nothing at the lease end as mentioned (with the exception of the buy back option). In that price range you would be hard pressed to beat the quality & value of the Lexus with a nice touch of class I might add.

Convince your father of the qualities of a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle.

Congrats on your new MB! Don't worry about the size of the wheel that will fit... there's a lot more that matters about the car you drive and the person you are.

nice looking wheels, but chrome really isn't my thing, neither are spinners... so I really can't say. But hey, its your car. What else matters?
