For what u paid at auction, it was a great pick up!! My 2010 (same color) just passed 103K and driving only 5-7K miles per year, it could last another two decades. Last year I veered away from regular & began using premium gas, definitely makes a difference. It now gets 34 mpg on the highway. I intend to hold on to it as a backup vehicle when I upgrade to an RX.
I have a 2010 as she is at 164k, and since I work from home, I don't have to put so many miles, and wear and tear on her. I love this car, but I refuse to ever drive a 4-cylinder Lexus. I hope they continue to utilize the V-6 engine in the ES 350.
my 2011 es350 has 151,000 miles and I am keeping my car for a long time and it rides like a cloud 🥰 very comfortable and smooth sedan and still looks great
I love this 2009-2012 body style, its so sleek, and sexy looking. I love just staring at my car, it has such sharp lines running from the rear roof to the trunk. The 2013-2018 body style I was not fond of. They got rid of the chrome door handles, and the lower door chrome trim. This style is classy, and still gets looks today, people love this car.
I will never ever get rid of my 2010 ES 350, is the best, and smoothest car, I've ever owned and driven. Mine is at about 164,000 miles, and still drives like brand new, I love being isolated from the road, and these cars have the most amazing build quality! My leather seats are getting worn too, and some wear and tear things need to be done, but you would not even know mechanical things need to be replaced, as the engine alone is a beast!! Lexus driver for life.
I had a MDX about 8 years ago bought it with 135k miles but it drove like brand new until I sold it with close to 200k miles . It was a REAL good handling suv with the awd option and in bad weather and snow . No complaints . I also have driven rx350 which is quieter and smoother but obvious I’m talking about used models not new :). Both are top notch choices and both are what my grandma Whos almost 70 wants next
Saabkyle04 had a 2007, so a pre refresh ES. These are great cars, will run forever. Grandparents had a 2005 Avalon Limited, and it was a good car. Also had a 2002 Camry XLE and a 2011 Camry LE, also good cars.
That is the one thing I love about Lexus, and there are certain features that I always have to have and I love the power tilt, and telescopic steering wheel. The only thing I have a complaint about is that it doesn’t have the easy entry access for the seat so the driver seat doesn’t slide forward or back with the memory settings, just the steering wheel comes down and out. It’s not a big deal but I miss that feature.
My grandfather bought an 02 Camry XLE brand new. He passed last year and I inherited the car with 85k miles. Did a bunch of maintenance on it but was still a solid car. I passed it down to my niece and it's her daily driver. Such a solid car.
Still a great car. For about $1,000 bet you could have it looking like new. I asked the Lexus dealer who they use for seat repair and get the seats re done. Also, there’s a website. Bumpers that deliver. For $300 they send you a new bumper that is already painted to color match your car.
I’ve been trying to make a decision whether to move on from my 2010 Camry with 230k miles. I drive about 30k a year these days but I’m thinking I’ll just keep her running.
Eh at this point just run it til it dies, just do the bare minimum and keep up with the fluids and she should hold out a good bit longer for you. And it’s definitely not a bad car, audio system is quite good in that gen and it’s a relatively attractive and good looking car (In terms of a Camry looking good) and comfortable as hell. There’s a guy somewhere on RUclips who’s got a 2011 with 400k miles and she runs just like new, great cars
@@hayden93 yeah it’s running great. Biggest issue is there’s an AC leak somewhere in the system I need to get fixed and will most likely have to drop a few thousand
@@kiwiinterstates3190 I’m having an issue with my Lexus ES 350 something with the AC belt it’s squeaks when the AC is on and it needs to be replaced and apparently they have to lift out my engine to get to it and I was already quoted three grand but then again that’s with labor so I’m just letting it be because the car runs fine.
Dude. I had to let her go. I never could get the check engine light traction control light and I think DCS light to go off? Can’t remember exactly it was a myriad of warning lights caused the cruise control to be inop. The thing is the problem came and went often and I never could get anybody to figure out what it was so I sold it for three grand a couple years ago.

Might get one next year Love that one
get one, you will not regret it. If you can try and find the ultra-luxury model. From 2010-2012 it is nearly impossible to find an Ultra Luxury model.

at this point keep your Camry. Toyota engines are unbreakable, and I certainly don't want a car payment anytime soon again ever lol.

LS460 @ 6:48
I wish mine had the rear power sunshade peasant blocker. That’s the only thing mine is mossing . I had that in my Nissan Maxima. I miss it so much.
How about your Infiniti M

@@JoesGoldenGarage Well I just got a 2007 Infiniti M35X, and I found some of your videos helpful. Well all the best.
