Hello, I am Rickey. I am the owner of a used ES 350 bought a month ago. It has 211K miles on it and at the moment has a new complete brake job done on it and is considered my project car. Interior is in very good condition. The engine is in good shape and it drives good. I will be providing more information and pictures as I continue working on the car. Glad to be a part of this forum. Thanks.

Jacek here. This is my second Copart purchase and a first Lexus I have ever owned.
I got a 2010 Lexus ES350 with just 22k miles. Car has full service history at Grapevine (TX) Park Place Lexus. The owner did not drive much in the 12 years, but still changed oil almost every year. Interior looks brand new.
The car has salvage title but damage is just the rear bumper.
Got it for $6500, but total came up to $8400 with all the nasty Copart fees.

Previously had luck with a 2005 Audi A4 convertible with 42k miles from Copart, so hopefully this will also turn out to be a nice car too.

Default 2007 es350

Hey All:

I'm back on the forum!
Previous:
1999 RX300 (2013-17)
2010 HS250H (2017-20)

Picked up a 2007 ES350 yesterday 148k miles, pretty nice all around minus a scratch and small dent here and there.
Needs a car-wash!

Talking 2010 es 350

Just picked up my ES 350 for $6500. It needs to be repainted, the suspension is shot, the seat bottoms need replacing, and I think my thermostat needs replacing as it is overheating although it is freezing outside. I will post other threads about those issues, but thanks for this resource!

It is red and I previously drove a 2002 Toyota Sienna.

How much did you pay for the 2012? 15K miles is very low.

14k with Camry trade in. The Camry had 120k miles and pretty beat up. 19k~ total value? Might not be the best deal around, but I sure as hell am happy!! Can't wait to register the car as a classic in 9 years lol

Default New Member Hello!

Hello! I just purchased a 2010 Peridot Mica (green) ES 350 and am absolutely in love. It replaces my similarly-colored Camry, which I had to pass down to my twin sons. Looking forward to seeing what I can learn here.

Good luck with it. I LOVE my 2012 ES which I have had for five years. An awesome vehicle.
