Lex13, Didn't order it actually -- It was in stock at Lexus of New Orleans. Thought about UL, but that would have been a bit of a wait. They had 3 coming in about a month, but not the color I wanted. They advised a 4 month wait if I special-ordered.

Damn dude! Nawluns, LA not that other LA out west. When I saw your location, I made the mistake of thinking CA not LA. I don't know how I could have made such an error seeing that I grew up a few mile upriver in Natchez. Anyway, I hope your new car exceeds your expectations and that it is absent from all of the issues that have been talked about on this forum.

LOL! Yes, the "Southern LA". :-)
Hoping for the best as well. Asked about the tranny issue and my salesmen advised they had two reports early on -- both cars replaced by dealer, but nothing recent. Did notice the chrome trim on the driver side doors was slightly off -- never would have noticed if others here had not reported it. Will have it adjusted at 5k service, as I'm too anxious to even let them detail the car. :-D All else looks great!

On a side note, I have to say that the dealer experience at MB doesn't hold a candle to Lexus.

This is my first post - but I've been reading the forum for a few weeks. I finally got my ES350 yesterday, exactly one month after placing my order. It's freezing here so I didn't get to spend much time in the car since I didn't get it home until later in the evening - but today's another day!! I did figure out how to make a phone call using the bluetooth and maybe today I'll figure out how to begin to use the nav and get somewhere.

I sure hope I have one of the trouble free cars. We looked at G35's, TL's, CTX's and a few others, and my wife didn't like any of the cars as much as the ES 350.
