No navigation but I only wanted something basic anyway.

My current vehicle is a 2008 Odyssey with 225000KM with rust at gas cap and one wheel arch.....but still our daily driver.

Regrettably when I was searching online for the ES I saw a couple of SC examples, I have to admit I was blown away by the shape particularly a white model with the roof up. I also saw a black one with the roof stuck in the closed position for sale that could only be opened by hand. So I will be looking to buy in about two years time, even one with a stuck roof.

Hello from Orillia. She's GORGEOUS!! Amazing find!

I also love the Avalon, but a good old used ES with lower mileage/well-maintained would be a delight to own, obviously. Comfort and reliability are #1 concerns to me.

Thank you and it's great to be here! I'm north of Toronto, Canada (near Orillia, Ontario, in case anyone here is in the GTA or elsewhere in the vicinity).

Hi Jeff, I live south of Ottawa and know nothing of reliability other than what I have read in various reviews. What I do know is that my 2007 ES350 is very comfortable does not look outdated and is a great drive. I bought with the intention of just driving on weekends in the summer but when my Oddy dies I will use it as a daily driver. Good luck on your search but I have noticed that 2010-2016 cars are few and far between.........due to lack of new cars on the market.

Regards
Paul.

In my research it seemed the Toyota Camry was only a few hundred cheaper for the same mileage, with less features so I went for the Lexus.
I have schedule the TSB for the passenger airbag replacement at Downtown Lexus. also I've scheduled the 96k service for Thursday at Meccano Autoworks in Mississauga, I'll keep you posted on the service.
Happy to be here.
And now I'm the new owner of this fantastic and amazing car!
So far, only thing I needed to fix on this was that the 'nator stopped 'nator-ing, it probably wore out due to age.

Default 2009 ES350 in Socal

Hello all my Es350 Owners and members
I have a Maroon 09 Es350 I bought it with 65k on the odometer in 2017
Only 1owner before me and was kept garaged and very well maintained I have kept that tradition going ! I added a few customizations in my 4 years of ownership that u may judge for yourselves.
It has beige leather and carpet inside very clean still which I do my own labor and sweat ! Lol . I have ceramic pads and drilled and riveted performance braking from R1 Concepts in Cerritos ca I have new Goodyear Eagles , with some clean black rims , I installed Hyper-Street 2 Coilover kit , a Performance Chip with a New Lexus Trans from overseas ,tinted windows , and some other minor changes I think makes it a sleeper with what I think is beauty and it's a blast to drive on the road .

2012 ES350

Matador Red Mica exterior, the interior plastics are medium grey with light tan leather.


It only had one package, I haven't changed anything on it yet, but I just got it in April.

My son just got his license, so I still have my previous cars (2006 Outback with LL Bean and H6 motor, and an 06 base Matrix.) Wife got the Lexus and I moved from the Matrix to the Outback, which I'm still getting used to.

No pictures since my wife works near a quarry and it's always dirty

Hey all,

Didn't just purchase my car but I'm new to the forum so figured I'd post here.

2009 ES350
Starfire Pearl on Black Interior
If I remember correctly, it has the 2nd highest package (no Mark Levinson audio/panoramic roof).
Will hit 200K KM (located in GTA, Canada btw) this week most likely!

Hello,

I just picked up a 2012 base ES350, with Nav, non ML. 190k miles. Needed a car with low payments.

Love the car so far. Way nicer than my 2012 Prius C.
