Ultra Luxury package
I went to see an 2013 ES 350 Ultra luxury in person over the weekend - and it doesn't make sense. It really seems like they're double dipping and charging for features twice.
From the brochure and on the PR detailed specifications on what each option package includes, the ultra luxury package INCLUDES such things as: Park assist, Rain sensing wipers, HID headlights, semi analin heated and ventilated seats, power trunk lid, power rear sunshade, manual rear door sunshades, wood & leather heated steering wheel and shift ****, and panoramic roof. All these in one package for well over $2900.
And yet from the sticker, they're charging additionally for power trunk, HID lights, park assist, heated leather and wood steering wheel and shift ****, and rain sensing wipers.
If those are not included (even though it says they are) but REQUIRED, then what exactly does the Ultra luxury package of features give you for over $2900???
The ultra luxury package does not include but REQUIRES the additional navigation system AND mark levinson sound system for over $3000. - that everyone can see and agree on.
But this is double charging for features. This didn't happen on the previous generation ES ultra luxury package that included basic luxury features!

The Ultra Luxury package is much cheaper than in previous years. Lexus has pulled out several features and priced them separately. The most comprehensive listing can be found on the NADA web site where you can build a vehicle, it will tell you which options are included and which are required. I just custom ordered a fully loaded ES350 and went through this in great detail. The one mistake on the NADA web site is that the price of the powered rear sunshade is listed when you build the car even though it is part of the UL package. However, it is not added to the price when you finished building the car.

Breaks it down pretty well...I don't see how this can lead anyone to believe they are being charged for the same options twice.
