Good choice of exterior color.

Your steering wheel is on the wrong side.

I am so jealous of your nav unit.

Congratulations on buying a terrific automobile at a great price. It is worth the wait and delivery frustration. Sorry you don't get the larger engine down under.

Cool

Congrats! I think the 4th gen has the best looking interior. And I, too, covet your NAV/Headunit there.
Nice buy!

Thanks guys. Asia-Pacific never received the ES330. Indeed Australia did not get the ES350 at all. The ES is discontinued line over here. Thus, I can boast that I have a current model!

As for my car, it's great. Except that I had to buy a new set of tyres. The ones given to me by the dealership were unevenly worn. The back two were down past the tread wear indicator. I tried to replace just the back two at first but there was still an undulating vibration and road noise, so I had the last two changed as well. I can't believe that Melbourne City Lexus would give me a car with worn tyres.

I am still waiting for my CD cartridge and my cigarette lighter, which they forgot to give me. Once I receive them then at least I will not have to deal with them ever again. They can rest assured that all my friends and colleagues will be on notice about the service I received from this dealership. It has quite simply been the worst that I have ever experienced in relation to any make of car.

But, at the end of the day, I have my car now and it's great. The sat nav is excellent, but I'm already used to it from my old Camry. It would be great if it was a gen 5 nav so that I could have the hi-res screen. But, I don't really care that much.

Next step, will be trying to get some xenon look-alike globes. Other than that...I am going to keep her stock.
