2008 ES350, bought 11/11 with 35k, now 46k. Only thing I would change is the cold engine noise under acceleration. Dealership doesn't think it's a concern. Got slightly better with synthetic for a few days, now it's back to pretty much normal.
I only have 15 miles a day on a normal day, but this car has become our default for trips, so we sometimes put on 1000 miles in a week travelling. This year we have a trip to DC and a trip to North Carolina scheduled. Been a very solid performer regardless of the above.

Haven't given much additional thought but will talk it over with wife. I will probably be asking in the range of $31-32K in its present like new condition and under warranty til 07-14 with a $50 xfer fee (Lexus Platinum). Please send me a private message (PM) should any further disussion proceed. Thanks. Don

I had the plugs changed at 110,000 miles. I replaced the brakes and rotors at 107,000 miles and had the various TSIBs performed as they arose. In the first few months of ownership I had squeaks in the dash, sunroof, and rear window fixed, and one of the side mirrors was replaced when it stopped moving. Oh, and on our recent trip cross country I had to replace one of the coil packs that failed - $80 and ten minutes at an auto parts store.
That's it. This car has been very reliable. All I do is keep after oil changes and all my other fluids and filters and the occasional headlamp bulb.
