New ES350 with a short 10-day supply

An old f_rts response.
Look at it this way, most of us old folks (I'm 70) want to stay young at heart. Buying a sporty car is one way I can feel younger.
Most of you young people profess to wanting to live a long prosperous life. Most of you exercise- sometimes fanatically, stay slim, watch the fats, etc.etc.
Get ready for the big disappointment of having the young generation dump on you for still being alive if your over 60.
There is a disconnect here somewhere.

Based on that scanned pie chart, and some rough calculations I did, average ES buyer age is about 53. That's lower than the Avalon, and I believe lower than the last-gen ES as well. Don't forget Baby Boomers possess a huge amount of money, compared to younger people. Also, IS average buyer age is a lot lower, I forget the exact number. Couple of years back, average Avalon buyer age was around 65, so Toyota is achieving it's goals of lowering average age for it's new models.

My first car at age 18 was a Buick. My current car is definitely not a Buick.

She IS buying a cool car. The ES350 is a stylin' luxury ride. Does the fact that people over 50 own it make it any less beautiful outside, comfortable inside, technologically up-to-date, safe, reliable, or anything else? The car stands on its own merits, no matter who is driving it.

It's not too late. If she wants, you guys can cancel the order on the ES and get an IS or some other brand of car that's cool.

FWIW, my car is even less cool, and arguably the least cool car you can buy -- a Volvo XC90. I'm a huge nerd, though.

Nah, she only thinks she wants a cool car. She has no interest in driving fast, feeling the road, or hearing the engine. The Infiniti or BMW are much cooler, but she just wants to be coddled. The ES is definitely the right car for her, but she'd be happier if Paris Hilton was driving one instead of Betty White.

Bob,
Your dealership is lying to you. The trans problem is HUGE for Lexus no matter how big or small your dealership is. My father-in-law got a replacement car from Lexus for his trans problem!!!!
