Default Very Impressed with this new 2019 ES350

Was trying to decide between a used LS460, a new 2018 ES 350 Ultra discounted about 10K and this new 2019. Couldn't pass up the deal on this 2019 and drove to NC from Ohio on Saturday. The car is ridiculously improved not that the 14 and 16 Ultra's I had weren't nice but once you drive one you'll understand what I'm talking about. I"m not talking about driving it around the block either. I've had numerous people who have been around other luxury cars, etc say this is the smoothest, quietest car they've been in yet. Again everyone has an opinion and favorite car but I am overly impressed with this one dollar for dollar. If your thinking you can't get thousands off MSRP right now, think again. Feel free to send me a PM and I'll give you the dealership and salesman who went out of their way to sell a car. I've been treated well by some Lexus dealerships but this one topped them all. Happy Driving

You’re clearly informed about the Lexus models. I would like to know if you considered the hybrid Es. I’m torn between saving money in the long run on gas or getting the V6 and not worrying about more complications as some people have said. I’m not worried about acceleration, since I’m coming from a 4cyl Camry. But I do want that luxury quiet ride.

What complications? Please give examples.

Toyota / Lexus hybrids are very good cars -- easy to drive, cheap on fuel and cheap to maintain, good for the environment, and very reliable. I have been driving an ES Hybrid for 4 years now. I would not go back to a "normal" car.

I actually drove the hybrid as well before deciding on this one that day. They were both equally as quiet which shows me the improvements Lexus has made since the last time I drove one 4-5 years ago. On that test drive there was a lot of clicking and different noises that turned me off of it. On this one that is all gone and I can tell you it was really, really quiet. The acceleration was decent but nowhere close to the 302 horsepower gas engine obviously. If your not worried about that which you say your not you surely want to go test drive one as you will be impressed. The battery comes with a 10 year 100,000 warranty so it should be ok as far as reliability. Good luck

The deal was 14% off guys, if you want the dealership and salesman holler at me in private as these guys gave me a no bulls--- price right away without even having my phone number. How many dealers are going to do that for you besides damn near none. I was at the end of the month though so not sure if that played a rule in them meeting a certain number for the sale but I"d have to say it probably did. Got in the car to drive away and they had a gift bag on the back seat with a big Yeti mug, key chains, key sleeves, plastic container with straw etc. Great experience in North Carolina. Was worth the 500 Plus mile drive. Getting a Suntek clearbra installed on it next week as I had great success with the last one on my 2014 although I used Expel for that one.

No trade in, my 2016 Ultra was do to go back in 6 months and obviously Lexus eats the last 3 payments and we worked out what you might call a pretty good deal for me on the last 3 payments especially since I was due to make a payment on Monday...lol. My last 0 money down deal on the 2016 Ultra was great at $480 a month for a 15k lease as well so honestly with the residuals being up back then they really weren't going to make a ton of money on that even though it was in great condition and I was 9000 miles under what I was allowed. My deal was worked out before they even knew I had the lease to turn in.

Can you break down the price from MSRP? What level and options do you have? There's not a pricing thread on the 2019 yet, so maybe you could start one.
