I’m wondering just how many vendors from different parts of the world supply parts to the factory to make these cars. I’ve had two cars now and got to thinking both car are not the same. You take your chances with noisy Engines, Flaring Transmissions, leather quality, wood grain, paint, even the 10 spoke wheels don’t have the same finish. I think the only way to know if you have a good one would to test the car for a week before buying. I know that would never happen. So it’s up to chance if it all works good or your stuck with a car with short comings.

So the es is made in only one factory after all.

How much for those 872's?

Darn, word must have got out you had some of those 872's

you could scratch the x of the X72 into sort of a fat looking 8, might pass.

My Es 350 has a build date of 7/06 and was built in plant 2. I have a loud clacking engine, some trans flair, internal and external wind/rattle.

Where were the engines and transmissions made brfore assembly?

Wow so you have a normal ES huh, Lol My pervious car was a 07/06 build built in plant 2 also. You know I never thought about were the engine was made, but the transmission is made in Japan.
