Let me put it this way. They are on the sticker, so I can only assume they are factory. I always thought they were an addon too until I saw this car on the lot. The car was new.

If you look at the lexus site, they are on the accessory list along with the cargo nets, etc. I think most people don't want them, but I think they look great and they will save my doors. You have to decide how sick a ding will make you feel every time you see one.

Greetings to all . . .

After thorough research, I purchased my 2007 Lesus ES350 this morning from Arrowhead Lesus, Peoria, AZ.

I met a sales rep (Angelo Tedeschi) at 8am and was out the door with my new Lexus at 10am. Angelo was courteous, informative and professional. The purchasing process was satisfying and pleasant

My ES350 has a Starfire Pearl exterior with Cashmere interior.

Besides the stardard features, mine is equipped with:
Navigation System
Voice-Activation with Destination Input
Bluetooth
Rear Camera
Intuitive Parking Assist
Premium Plus Package
Perforated Leather Seats and Trim with Memory
Driver & Front Passenger Seats, Outside Mirrors
Power Tilt Telescoping Steering Wheel
Heated and Ventilated Front Seats
Driver Power Cushion Extender
Rain Sensing Wipers
Wood & Leather Steering Wheel
Preferred Accessory Package
Trunk Mat and Cargo net
Wheel Locks

I will tint the windows tomorrow and then hard-wire my Escort Passport 8500 X50 Radar Detector.

Any other after-market products will be delayed until I become accustomed to the car.

I trust that this beautiful automobile will meet my expectations.

Edited: June 21, now second day of ownership. Tinting done this morning. Car now looks ever more beautiful.

Tomorrow, hard-wire my radar detector.

Hey guys/gals:

I just picked up a 2007 ES350 with only 26 miles on it from Park Place here in Plano, TX. The manual looks pretty intimidating but I'll get over it soon. It's black with the cashmere leather. The car is loaded with the Premium Plus Package with the nav, xenon lights, and rear camera. Now I just have figure out the manual.

Oh I'm going to enjoy this weekend. I even thought about taking tomorrow off of work.

After lurking, and occasionally posting, here for nearly a year I finally got an ES 350 on Friday, August 24!

My previous ride was my beloved 1991 Maxima SE with 156,000 miles. I'd been contemplating a purchase since about March. There was some uncertaintly after reading all the transmission flare threads and a certain amount of "Can I get one more month of driving out of the Maxima?" Well, Monday of that week the question was answered when the old ride failed to start. It was only the battery but that was $50 I refused to spend!

I ended up with a Royal Ruby, Premium Package with Bluetooth, Wood and Leather Steering Wheel, Rear Side Airbags, and the "Preferred Accessory Package. I got it for about $100 over invoice AND I got $500 trade-in for the Maxima (probably twice what it was worth).

I got really good service at Nalley Lexus, Smyrna/Galleria GA. The salesman really gave the benefit of the doubt on the trade-in...

On pick-up day I got a nice surprise. The car we negotiated on was sitting on the showroom floor. Later I called him to find out the manufacture date. After a while he called back and said he was having trouble finding that on the computer and he would need to get back to me later. I told him to look on the door jam and he checked while I waited; he told me I had taught him something! It was a 05/07 build, which sounded okay. I explained I was making sure it was recent as possible so I could capture all possible factory "fixes". So, on Friday morning as I drove up he met me at the door with a "Good news Mr. Robert!" and proceeded to tell me that the previous afternoon they got a delivery, and my exact car was on the truck. He grabbed it for me-- an 07/07 build date with 11 miles!

So to make a long story short, I'm loving the new car (first in 16 years!) and looking forward to the Lexus life...

I just picked up my new Lexus yesterday. I bought it from Lexus of Englewood here in NJ and the buying experience was very good. The car was prepped perfectly and I was thoroughly instructed on all of the features of the automobile.

It is Tungsten Pearl with a black leather interior.

The following options were included:
Premium package (Leather interior trim, memory for driver's seat, mirrors and steering wheel)
Wood & leather steering wheel
Bluetooth
Full size spare
Heated & ventilated front seats
High intensity headlamps w/AFS
Rear side airbags
Preferred accessory package

(I did not need the navigation system)

I also had a remote start system installed (Audiovox)

I have only put about 20 miles on it so far but everything seems to be in perfect working order.

Now all I have to do is sell my 2000 Infinity i30.

What did it say about the Amber Pearl paint? Could you supply a link to this page? I'm very eager to hear about this color, because I bought one with this color at the end of April 2006, and I also never had any problems.....it's been a total pleasure!
