Hi I just got a es350 with 100000 miles on it.
Red. Interior.
No issues until I changed the plugs. It ran for several days and threw a P0500 code.
It also has pending P0300, P0301, P0305 ( yes the back side). Anyway the second repair I broke the #3 COP. Can someone get me the wiring diagram.?
The car is out of Arizona and suffering from pack rat damage and brittle plastics.
Previous car is a 2007 RX350 that my daughter now drives.
Before that had a 2003 IS300, but it was too low for me at 6'1". New ISs are probably a different story.
Pleases help me - I am addicted and thinking of adding an LX, GX or LS to the family without giving up the RX or ES!
Hello,
I was a Club Lexus many years ago but wasn’t an active member. I re-joined recently. I am the original owner of my ES. Fully loaded. Black/Black. Looks like new. The car has been a great realible vehicle. 150,800 miles so far and no mechanical problems to date. Serviced by the dealer as scheduled. The car was handed down to my 19 year old. Great car.
Bought a 2009 ES350 on Saturday! Starfire Pearl Exterior, Cream Interior. Has Bluetooth, Premium Plus Package, Rear Sunshade, and full size spare tire. It's got almost 107K miles on it, and when I had my mechanic look it over before I purchased it, he said it needed nothing! Upgraded from a 2008 Volvo S40 2.4i, endless money pit..
Greetings! I bought at 2012 Silver ES 350 with 56,000 miles. It does not have the navigation--I believe it has the first tier of options like the perforated leather and the park assist. I have driven it a few days and it is so much nicer on my 75 mile daily commute compared to my 2013 Mazda5 that I traded--the Mazda was a very reliable car but a noisy economy car at heart. The first day I picked up my kids from school in the ES they both said "Wow it's quiet in here."
Earlier in the 21st century I owned a 1996 GS300; bought it in 2001 (I think) with 53,000 miles and sold it in 2004 at around 90,000. (Amazingly my forum user name is still active even though I haven't logged in in more than 14 years!) That thing was built like a tank and had the thickest leather on the seats I've ever seen. The ES certainly drives in a more refined manner.
I have been reading the posts on the 5th gen ES forum and have found them very helpful already, including how to turn down the bluetooth phone volume.
Hello. Last week I bought a 07 ES350 (Starfire Pearl exterior, Casmere interior, Premier Plus Package with some other options) with 128K miles. This is a very quiet car. I already plan on replacing some front and rear suspension parts next week to overhaul the car to make it feel more like a low mileage ES350. I will then be ready to pile up the miles in this car.

3rd owner. 2nd owner bought car with 77k on it 5 months ago. Because of his job he put 50K miles on it in 5 months. sold it to me for $8000. runs like a top. after buffing it, now looks like shiny new penny. Im pleased.
Our 1st Lexus was a 1998 ES300. Sold it with 272k miles and still running strong. Sold only because the “boss” wanted a newer one. She didn’t like the Illinois rust on the rear fenders.
I never buy new cars so I got a 2008 ES350 In FL (no IL rust anywhere). I love this car. It is actually the boss’s car. Mine is a 2003 Ford ZX2 (stick shift) I used as a commuter vehicle. I retired a couple of weeks ago so we might not need the ZX2 any more.
The car is white with tan interior. No special accessories. All stock and I like it that way.
I do have some little issues that I will post later on this forum for some help before adventuring into the unknown.

Fcesar56, congrats on your new, (to you) ES350. I see you're in Illinois...……..so am I!!! Arlington Heights to be exact. I love my 2011...….Matador Red Mica exterior; black leather interior. It being almost 9 years old, it's got some blemishes which I hope to eliminate this summer. It's not totally optioned out, but it's got what I need, and it runs on 87 octane gas, first year for it, so fuel costs won't kill me. Enjoy your new LEXUS! johnj1020
Hi John,
I'm in Harvard, near the Wi border. Thanks for the warm welcome.
i'm a little puzzled. You said the 2011 is the first year for 87 octane gas.
The manual on mine recommends 91 octane RON. This is used in Europe.
In US we use the average between RON and MON that what you see on the pumps (R+M)/2.
91 octane RON is very close to 87 stated in our pumps.
My 98 ES300 was the same. I always used 87 Octane. I alway got an average in the mid 26 mpg on the highway.
Only trip back from FL with my "new" ES350 I got 27.2 only first tank and 34.4 on my last one. Average of the 1,250 mile trip 30.3 (The tank milage is true based on the pump and miles. The trip average true and on the car dash was almost the same). Only using regular gas.
I drive normally just shy of 10 over the limit. Most of my trip was close to 80 mph. The last leg I had a lot of very heavy and fast moving traffic. ( Indianapolis, contractions on I65 and Chicago) so I had great drifting, thats the reason for very high milage.
I thought all the options I have on my car were standard. Now I'm not sure. I have a high end stereo with SAT. leather/heated full power seats (both). bluetooth, heater mirrors, sun/moon roof, dual climate control, traction control. TPMS (mine is not working).
