It's almost that time of year... Has anyone found any deals on all weather floor mats? The best I found is at my local dealership and it's the same as Sewell's online price of $109.

Thanks!

 

Funny you mention this. I just bought the OEM mats off ebay. They were sent straight from a dealer. They look nice but definitely are more on the flimsy side. My Audi mats are much thicker/rugged and made up for the price. These are just a bit thin and flat, don't have higher ridges on the outside. They are nice looking though and say Lexus ES. Look on ebay just type 2013 lexus es mats, I paid $89.99 with free shipping I believe.

 

Get weathertech floor liners. They cost a little more, but are definitely worth it. I paid about 175 through Toyota.

The only problem with Weathertech is that they put their name on the mat and you see it every time you get in the car... Ughhh.
I bought custom cut clear vinyl at Carid. http://www.carid.com/custom-floor-ma...ts-162656.html

 

I have the Weathertech all-weather mats (not the liners) in both my ES and GX. I don't need the added protection up the sides of the liners. The mats have deep grooves that contain moisture, mud, etc., and I think that they look much nicer than the liners. With the mats, the Weathertech name on the mat is much more discrete than it is on the liner. It is molded into the rubber and positioned at the very back edge of the mat. Frankly, until I read the post quoted above, I didn't even realize that they had their name on the mat.

In any case, I highly recommend the all-weather mats. They sell for about $100. Weathertech sometimes does run promotions. They are available either directly through Weathertech or through a number of other retailers. When I've bought mine, I've found that the best prices I could find were if I bought them directly from Weathertech.

 

I agree, the large shiny emblem is a negative, but for me it is only a minor drawback. I live in PNW, and with the amount of wet weather we get, maximum floor protection is important. I don't know of another system that provides the amount of coverage that these floor liners do(If there is, I'd like to hear about it!). I had the lexus all-weather mats, but since they just cover the main floor, dirt and debris still works its way into and under the corners of the mats, so you end up having to pull them and vacuum the carpets quite often.

 

Thanks for your responses. I will check eBay. I definitely want the OEM mats since they are pretty and they will function enough for everyday use during a Southern California winter (not really a winter at all). I have an F-350 with thick rubber mats for the times I am in really dirty conditions.

Thanks again!

 

The Lexus rubber mats work fine for rain, or some light snow/mud. I like my mats, and I think they look nice on the ES.

 

Thanks for the input. I am near the coast and get some rain every now and again.

 

LisaES350, i may be interested in selling my OEM all-weather mats since i'm thinking about upgrading to the weathertech liners.

 

Are you in the SoCal area?

 

unfortunately no. I'm near chicago. but i have the box that the matts were originally shipped to me in.

pm me if you're interested.

 

I just got home with our new 2014 es350. Definitely want to order the weathertech mats. Anyone know where the best deal is before I make the purchase?

 

When I've shopped for Weathertech mats for both my ES and my GX, I've found that pricing is pretty similar regardless of where you buy them. Generally, I found that, if I bought directly from Weathertech, the price was a few dollars lower than if I bought their mats from someone else. Some of the other retailers offer free shipping. So, the total price comes out to be pretty similar, but Weathertech occasionally offers free shipping promotions. As I said in a previous post, I've bought mine directly from Weathertech.

 

Ive ordered 4 sets so far and my last set of weathertech floor liners was purchased from KB car stuff and I paid $169 shipped for front and rear sets. I even called weathertech and they obviously couldn't beat it.
