In 2006 I bought my first Lexus. It was a 1995 Lexus ES300 with faded paint and terrible interior. I babied that thing. Paint correction and washes and waxes made her my baby. After the Lexus was sent to greener pastures I bought a 2006 Toyota Corolla. Boring car but it got me through college. Then came my VW Passat. By far my worst automotive experience. October of 2015 I bought a 2013 BMW 528i. I loved it but was searching for something more. My wife and I are expecting our first child so I definitely wanted something safe, reliable, and that I enjoyed driving everyday. So, a casual trip to just "check out" some cars ended up with me in a 2017 Lexus ES350 in Obsidian/black interior and the premium package. Needless to say I am very happy to be back in the Lexus family. Now. Onto some pictures

And Finally: Here she is:




Fresh Tint!!

 

Nice choice for your new car. You and the wife will enjoy the Lexus which may become her daily drive. The 4 year old Bimmer may start costing you in maintenance and repairs after the warranty period and free services, but still a fun car to drive.

 

Great looking car and a wise choice. Lexus has now been #1 in reliability ranked by J D Power for six years in a row. They are also the third least expensive to maintain behind two other Toyota products.

i bought her a 2015 RDX last year that she loves. So I might be safe for a while.

 

Thanks Freds430. My 95 ES300 had over 275K miles on her before I had to get rid of her. I can only imagine how far this one will take me

 

Welcome back! Congrats on the baby and new ES!

 

Nice car ! Excellent choice.

 

Thanks Mike728!

 

Thank you Thank you. I've had it a little under a week and have been loving it so far. Side note, when i dropped the car off for tint dealer gave me an RX350. WOW! That thing is nice. We are now thinking about trading in the wife's RDX for it. Fully Lexus family FTW!

 

Have an ES350 (2016) now. My next vehicle might be the RX350. Heard a lot of good things about them, and I know a couple of people who have them.

 

Its really a great vehicle. The redesign is awesome IMO. It has a great ride nice and quiet. My loaner was non f-sport but with the premium package & Nav. You should definitely do it. I don't think you'd regret it. If you need a sales guy and are based in Texas i can recommend my guy to you. Let me know

 

Congratulations on the new Lexus.. AND Congrats on the baby....

Thanks Poppa! The wife and I are very excited!!! Welcoming a baby BOY in July!
