Yeah I bought an ES cause I did NOT want a connection to the road. Lexus was bragging how its tuned on their special race track.. NO we don't want that. We want OLD man ES stuff. i spent my years grinding out at the track and canyon with prepped cars.
i'm old now and i want the ES to float like one of those old lincoln town cars.. or like a Lexus back in the day. stupid youtube reviewers crying about track times
First time Lexus owner. 2022 ES 350 delivered on 1/1/22 just in time for December to Remember with single-digit miles
Looking for a quiet ride, reliable, spacious, no-fuss, tech-enough(Android Auto + Touch), multi-thousand mile, highest value and best depreciation (62% residual in 5 years) car, the ES 350 beat the BMW 5-"too small in the back" series and the E-"cheap interior" class in everything I cared about.
Test drove the 350 and 300h, the latter's mileage improvement is amazing but I couldn't stand the engine cutting in and out. Smoothness is key for me.
For me, Blue Mica exterior with Palomino interior looks gorgeous, then Caviar was 2nd and Cloudburst was 3rd. I say "Black is boring, white is white, and blue is just right"
Base + 18" wheels + Premium Package + Wood Trim + accessories....bought for MSRP and minimal typical dealer add-on....would've wanted ML and other specific options but you can't be choosy in these times.....
My local dealer didn't have the specific car in-stock so they worked hard and found one within a week right off the production line going to another dealer and made it happen.
My salesman along with their sales manager and finance person were upstanding. What I was quoted out the door after negotiation from day one, did not change 1 cent during closing in finance. No high pressure tactics.
What a great experience as a first-time customer and refreshing start for my Lexus ownership
I wish an aftermarket would come in and create a screw on/clip on LED fog light to go in the bottom outside corners of the grill. It would blend in and look OE. Or even a bezel to replace the outside ones that have integrated fog lights--and no not for actual fog. just for aesthetics.
Hi group!
Short time reader, first time poster. ( I think)
Just picked up my special order. Ordered 11/02/21, built 1/04/22, arrived 1/18/22.
2022 ES 350 Ultra Lux.
Cloudburst Gray, black w/ black open pore wood trim.
My add ons were:
Triple Beam LED Headlamps
Smart Access Card Key
Navigation/Mark Levinson Audio Package
I opted for regular moonroof over the panoramic glass roof.
MSRP $54,265
Disc. $4873 + Rebate $1500 = $6373
Purchase price $47,892
I call that a “Unicorn Deal!” (In this market anyway!)
My previous Lexus, which I cashed out a year early on my lease to the tune of $8500 in equity/profit, was a 2019 ES 350 Lux. Nebula Gray Pearl with Chateau (Shimamoku Brown)
Had almost every option with the exception of triple beams.
I had the power rear sunshade only.
3 standard features only available on Ult. Lux. (2019 models) and no other trim level (even as options) were Semi-aniline leather, manual side window sunshade and lateral performance dampers.
I also had the pano roof and that being the reason I didn’t order my new one with one! Looks nice but had to have it replaced twice and had noise issues.
MSRP $52,008
Disc. + Rebate = $11,382
Purchase price $40,626
I call that a “Unicorn Deal!”
Build date 2/2019
Sold 12/27/2019
Now if I can only figure out a way to change/update my username.
***EDIT*** Some of the photos are the lower quality versions that I edited by accident. You can't tell until you see them on the big screen. I'll correct that soon.
