Try overpriced LG and Samsung Fridges and washers. I've had two GE washer dryers and one frigidaire fridge over thirty years now. leaks over time for the first ones but reliable. My friends had both the fridge and washer replaced within two years. Korean stuff has become junk and a class action is ongoing.
@@rongoesCDNWe have a Samsung dryer and a Samsung washing machine (front loader) for over 7 years now. We use them pretty much daily. Neither one ever had any problems or needed any service so far. 3 Samsung large screen TVs, all working flawless over 5 years so far. Our GE fridge (10 years old) is a POS and the other commercial grade fridge/freezer from SubZero a disaster (over $3k in repairs) for a $10K+ unit.
I have a 2013 GS350 with 104k miles on it. Great car that never seems to need any maintenance other than the occasional wear-and-tear, i.e. brakes, tires, battery.....
Had a low mileage 2012 ES350 and sold it. Never had a single problem with it. I often regret selling it, but I did get a low mileage 2016 RX350 (Luxury Pkg), so I don't feel quite as bad. But I'm keeping this RX until the wheels fall off.
These Lexus's will go forever. I picked a lexus cuz they are just so much quieter which really gets to you on those long drives. 18 hours in a Subaru Baja made me think twice haha
The difference between Lexus and other luxury brands like Mercedes is that a Lexus won't cost you a fortune in repairs because they are built with quality components and they actually care about quality control. Lexus (Toyota) is one of the very few quality car companies left.
Unfortunately Mercedes dont make them like they used to anymore, but still as a European mercedes here are stilla lot better compared to those made in the US i know
Buy the RIGHT BRAND AND KEEP IT FOR AS LING AS ITS RELIABLE. I HAVE A 2015 HONDA ACCORD EX-L V6 COUPE THAT IS 9 YEARS OLD AND pristine! I'll keep her another 9! Maintenance has to be a top priority! Top priority to keep it long long term!
That was my plan. I have a 2013 Accord touring with manual transmission. But I got into an accident in Dec and the insurance company totaled my car 😢 . I really wanted to keep it as long as possible. I love my car.
Saw a 2017 Lexus IS200T for $18k with 40k on it. Needless to say it's only rear wheel drive but it's definitely a fair price. The IS300 with the same engine and transmission costs $41k MSRP if not more. So yeah it's wild.
@@gabevillarreal4779 My 1999 Silverado 2500 has 245k on the odometer and still does all the work everybody in the family needs. I gave $250 for it in 2004. The A/C quit working a few years back and she's picked up a few dents and scrapes over the years, but she has never let us down 😎
Biggest complaint for our 08 with every option except rear window shade....is they PUT ME TO SLEEP! Only 36000 miles on it, showroom condition, but its so quiet and smooth...really a great car.
Please be careful out there. Sadly, I know too many people that have died from crashes when they fell asleep. Pull over and take a short 5-15 minute nap.
@@VideoArchiveGuy Who’s saying you can’t have both, a performance car and a floaty car? I’ve always loved small cars with a go-kart feel, but I’ve always wanted a huge floaty land yacht too. There’s something to be said for both types of cars. Sometimes I want a responsive vehicle and other times I want to stretch out and just cruise like I’m sitting in a recliner on wheels.
Seems like buying a used ES350 thats been sufficiently maintained, could be one of the best bargains out there. A coworker of mine bought a 2013 ES350 with about 170k on it for $9500. The car looks and drives like a new one. I even look underneath and under the hood, it looks mint. I have never seen a car that inexpensive or with that many miles that looked that good all around.
i’m 20 , my 2006 330i bmw (dads old car he let me drive) engine just died. so after a 2 week search i am happy to say a week ago i got a 2010 es350 with 123k miles. car is beautiful, quiet , the SMOOTHEST ride i’ve ever experienced, coming from an e90 on coilovers lol. wanted to keep luxury but go the most reliable i can get , which was lexus. in college now so dont have time for repairs, i believe i made the right choice but either way i am very satisfied , hopefully the lexus holds up !
I've owned two Toyotas: A '91 V6 Camry, and currently, a 2005 Corolla S. They are the best cars I've ever owned or driven. I would have got another Corolla, except that they have a CVT, or a Camry except for the "crushed hour-glass" grilles (normally, I don't worry too much about styling, but the grilles and the over-hung front ends were just too much). I went to look at Mazda3s. I'm impressed with them, but the dealer tried to sell me a SUV even though I don't want one. Also, I don't care about the "infotainment" systems. I have dozens of CDs and never listen to the radio, but it seems that NONE of the new cars has a CD player in it.
I would love to have Scotty for my neighbor. My cars would be running like new. And ill be on him all day long trying to get all that knowledge he have. Scotty you need a pupil...
I already did, got my 2023 ES300h Ultra Luxury trim in April 2023. Love the vehicle and am getting 42+ MPG and have already changed the oil & filter twice. Going tomorrow to get the free Lexus 10K service for my third oil & filter change. LOL 🤔😎
What type of driving do you do? Flat area highways? 42+ is insane - huge dealbreaker, I'd buy the ES over everything else for that. Hate being at the pump all the time.
Just bought a 2017 ES 350 myself with 56,000. Wanted that 2GR-FE engine specifically because I'm not sure I trust anything new. Almost all manufacturers are making are these tiny displacement turbocharged CVT nonsense drivetrains.
Not Executive Sports sedan. EXECUTIVE SEDAN IS WHAT ES STANDS FOR. ITS NOT A SPORTS CAR AT ALL. ITS A COMFORTABLE LUXURY SEDAN THAT IS UKTRA RELIABLE AND RIDES BEAUTIFULLY!
@@Jasona1976 The Avalon is based on the Camry chassis. So are several other Toyota vehicle classes. The point is that some are worth the uprate to Lexus and several aren't. The ES series is very much worth the uptick as you get additional value for the badge.
The first ES, the ES250 was based on the Camry of that generation until Toyota released the Avalon which never came as a 4 cylinder model like Camry's did but the Avalon was based on the Camry and subsequent Lexus ES models were based on the Avalon with the same 3.0 liter V6 initially then the 3.5 liter V6 offered in the Camry but standard on the Avalon. My mom still drives her 1999 Avalon and the engine is just as smooth as it was when new.
I loved that engine in the RAV4- completely unnecessary and it was so quick when you were the only person in the car! So quick and they stopped including because people were buying RAV4 instead of the Highlander. Would be interesting to know whether the Lexus version had a tune for the higher octane fuel.
I find that my Lexus is not trouble free, but I like the vehicle so much it's a no brainer to fix whatever breaks vs buying something different. 2011 GX.
They generally don't have problems with cats because they don't burn oil. My IS has around 90K. It's the first car I've had in a while that doesn't burn oil. Good job Toyota 👍👍👍👍👍
Explain why this man shows up in a older Lexus that looks neat and clean. Debris free. Yesterday some guy showed up in a a new Corolla and it looked like he had owned it for 10 years wires, cups, wrappers and crap everywhere. Wouldn't you take 5 minutes B4 showing up at Scotty's for a video?
Fuel Fact all ES models run on Regular 87 gas. Yes 87. Google it, confusion over the word RECOMMEND that isn't the same as REQUIRED that is 95% of Lexus other models. Most owners are unaware, for fun when told they will be in denial because they believe it will damage the engine.
The interior build quality and ride quality and overall experience is a completely different experience than what you get in the Camry. Love the camry but it's simply not an ES!
I have an '07 es 350 that's stuck in my driveway right now and I can't even figure out of it even has a shift cable--no parts at rock auto and the auto parts place can't even find the part in the catalog. #3 misfire's have come up several times in 2 years and coils/plugs have been replaced. My mechanic thinks it's taking in coolant through a head gasket. I want it to be a good car. I'm below poverty level right now.
My 2008 ES350 bankrupted me. I spent US $19,000 over the past 5 years. I bought it used with 110,000 mi. Now it's sitting on its 3rd transmission. 270,000mi
Yes .... but the interiors shrivel up in the Florida sun whether it's leather or nulux; doesn't matter. Leather seems to do better but whatever. And the used parts are very expensive compared to other cars. I hate my Lexus for this reason. Driving around a nice car that looks like crap because I don't want to spend hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars on replacement door panels and seats after 8 years. Sonny's not wrong, the reason I have this car is because I drive so much and need something to leverage the gas. Otherwise I'd have some big SUV.
picked up a 2008 es 350 with 120k kilometers on it. has the luxury package, i don't think there's an option it doesn't have. It cost what the new ones interest alone would have cost me..
I have a 02 es300 and its the only car i have, it has a slight knock,im pretty sure its not a rod knock, it was sluggish til i did some stuff with it today, but it just wont die.
Mr. Scotty, how are you. Is it wise to purchase a 2009 ES 350 Lexus with 122, 199 miles ? I have not checked it out yet, I only tested drive it. Drives smooth. Only thing that I noticed is that when it’s in drive mode but stop in the traffic, the engine makes a woo sound, when it begins to drive again, all woo sounds stop. Can you give me an advice?
My lexus 2014 350 es had to hv a $10,000+ transmission put in it 2 years ago, ANDDDDD it's acting up again, hoping it's not the transmission again, I'm taking it for a diagnosis tomorrow oh I hope it's ok, I love the car and can't afford another transmission, at least not one from the lexus dealership.
Any issues? Yours was ONE OF the last to be built in JAPAN! Personally, they are not as solid now that they are built in Kentucky along side the camry and avalon before it was discontinued.
@gabevillarreal4779 no I used valvoline that's what I was offered at the oil change place by my house but watched them do it since the oil change was done at brakemax wanted to try something new so did a engine flush then valvoline oil change with valvoline additive and did a valvoline engine filter and valvoline cabin filter too. I prefer mobil one better but did valvoline everything to try it out for the first time but everything else on my other list did it all at the lexus dealership.
Which car kills people, does it sneak out at night and run down people ? OR do people fall asleep and kill themselves or others in the SMOOTH Lexus? Scotty , SCOTTY
I got my 2012 ES350 back in 2020, it had 72k on it and I paid 15k out the door, got it for the dealership where it was bought new. It still has the original window sticker at almost 39k when new. I really didn’t know just how good these cars were until I have owned one for a while. Now I know why people don’t want to get rid of them and also why they keep a decent resale value. Now at 140k the car is running great, seems like these things get better and better as they rack up the miles.
Honda civic is made in Canada. And there CVT is built in Mexico. Please talk about that. And this auto stop crap. So I leased the civic. Don't trust it even though the dealer throws in drive train lifetime free if vehicle is purchased. So who knows in 3 years. Last two leases were Corollas. But they did not have any.
if you don’t need a suv 🚙 don’t unless you like living at the pump. Two suv’s need v-8’s not itty bitty v-6 turbo’s means boom 💥 goes the dynamite trying to move heavy vehicles
Suv are lifted mini vans without the sliding doors. After driving big vans and trucks at the end of the day, a nice sedan or coupe calms the nerves. Aside from seeing jacked up 4X4 bumpers at noggin height. Intimidating is why suv's are popular.
Just realised the car make model Kia Rio translates to mean BE HAPPY?!😂😂 it’s the lowest quality cheapest base tuna can economy tin car on the market! Aside from the fiat coupe
You're absolutely right! I worked for Toyota/Lexus head office back in 2004 and I've seen documents referring to this model as the Executive Sedan. If anybody says otherwise, they're simply guessing!
I bought my wife a 2003 es 300 that is in great shape has 200k and only paid 5k but it is still like new 😂 let me bring it to you to check out im in northwest Nc?
Scotty I’ve been watching you for 5 years now. Love your videos ! Thanks to you I own a Honda accord now. Got tired of working on my own vehicles so now I have one that doesn’t need work 😂
Opinions are mixed, from what I've seen for this generation (2016-2018) US builds, some owners complain about things like body panels, things not being flush, abnormal sounds/rattles here and there. Others claim there is no difference

Yes .... but the interiors shrivel up in the Florida sun whether it's leather or nulux; doesn't matter. Leather seems to do better but whatever. And the used parts are very expensive compared to other cars. I hate my Lexus for this reason. Driving around a nice car that looks like crap because I don't want to spend hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars on replacement door panels and seats after 8 years. Sonny's not wrong, the reason I have this car is because I drive so much and need something to leverage the gas. Otherwise I'd have some big SUV.
What’s your opinion about
Toyota Fortuner 2024 ?
picked up a 2008 es 350 with 120k kilometers on it.
has the luxury package, i don't think there's an option it doesn't have.
It cost what the new ones interest alone would have cost me..
Dealers do not reset codes either, the 2 codes are got were from some warranty service many years ago ...
I have a 02 es300 and its the only car i have, it has a slight knock,im pretty sure its not a rod knock, it was sluggish til i did some stuff with it today, but it just wont die.
i have a couple avalons, a couple Mercedes Benz's (Her a C me an E) and a lexus es350. No suv for me (and a vw ghia and a gmc envoy)
I'm in Houston Texas can you look at my car it's not starting
Car was so quiet and comfy he fell asleep while driving. The ES is the only that haven’t screwed up yet
So what car killed thousands?
This car killed thousands of dollars by falling asleep on the wheel.
Idk but a limo killed princess dianna
Killed thousands of German luxury car sales
Scotty is a master of all of us to watch his valuable video. Sit back and enjoy.
It 🤐
Lord Save The Manual Transmissions
Mr. Scotty, how are you. Is it wise to purchase a 2009 ES 350 Lexus with 122, 199 miles ? I have not checked it out yet, I only tested drive it. Drives smooth. Only thing that I noticed is that when it’s in drive mode but stop in the traffic, the engine makes a woo sound, when it begins to drive again, all woo sounds stop. Can you give me an advice?
My lexus 2014 350 es had to hv a $10,000+ transmission put in it 2 years ago, ANDDDDD it's acting up again, hoping it's not the transmission again, I'm taking it for a diagnosis tomorrow oh I hope it's ok, I love the car and can't afford another transmission, at least not one from the lexus dealership.
That's my car 2013 lexus es 350 187600 miles 😂❤🎉
Mine is a gray color tho😂❤🎉
Any issues? Yours was ONE OF the last to be built in JAPAN! Personally, they are not as solid now that they are built in Kentucky along side the camry and avalon before it was discontinued.
And recently did a engine flush before the oil change too incase if it hadn't been done by the previous owner before but still drives like a dream.
@@bryanczarnecki7570 did you use BG44k engine flush!?
@gabevillarreal4779 no I used valvoline that's what I was offered at the oil change place by my house but watched them do it since the oil change was done at brakemax wanted to try something new so did a engine flush then valvoline oil change with valvoline additive and did a valvoline engine filter and valvoline cabin filter too. I prefer mobil one better but did valvoline everything to try it out for the first time but everything else on my other list did it all at the lexus dealership.
Which car kills people, does it sneak out at night and run down people ? OR do people fall asleep and kill themselves or others in the SMOOTH Lexus? Scotty , SCOTTY
I got my 2012 ES350 back in 2020, it had 72k on it and I paid 15k out the door, got it for the dealership where it was bought new. It still has the original window sticker at almost 39k when new. I really didn’t know just how good these cars were until I have owned one for a while. Now I know why people don’t want to get rid of them and also why they keep a decent resale value. Now at 140k the car is running great, seems like these things get better and better as they rack up the miles.
Which scan tool works best for Lexus?
the shifter is turned backwards😂
should i get a lexis 250 2010 155k miles ?
Honda civic is made in Canada. And there CVT is built in Mexico. Please talk about that. And this auto stop crap. So I leased the civic. Don't trust it even though the dealer throws in drive train lifetime free if vehicle is purchased. So who knows in 3 years. Last two leases were Corollas. But they did not have any.
If Scotty was in handcuffs he couldn't talk.
I have suv. Love it.
Does ES stand for Executive Sports or Executive Sedan? Also the new ES 350 is made in the USA. Not posting this as an affront to Scotty.
I looked it up and it is Executive Sedan.
@@jamest6850 Thank-you.
Scotty Lexus recommends oil every 10k. Should I do that or change oil sooner?
Sooner. Oil is cheap. Engines are expensive.
Thought they stopped making in Japan around 2007?
I think 2016 is when they started to change over to USA
if you don’t need a suv 🚙 don’t unless you like living at the pump. Two suv’s need v-8’s not itty bitty v-6 turbo’s means boom 💥 goes the dynamite trying to move heavy vehicles
To have less codes on a car, we must think of manual transmission.
Suv are lifted mini vans without the sliding doors. After driving big vans and trucks at the end of the day, a nice sedan or coupe calms the nerves.
Aside from seeing jacked up 4X4 bumpers at noggin height. Intimidating is why suv's are popular.
Scotty what do you think of the LC 500?
Can you not tell how absolutely wasted he was during this video?!?
i like it. nice rig.
❤@This.
Just realised the car make model Kia Rio translates to mean BE HAPPY?!😂😂 it’s the lowest quality cheapest base tuna can economy tin car on the market! Aside from the fiat coupe
My 1983 Toyota Sr5 5 speed 22R 2 wheel drive truck is still going
How many miles on that truck?
81 Toyota long bed
Sr5 still good.
@@keithdunn926 mine is a long bed too
I have a 84 sr5 long bed still zips Sips gas doesn’t burn oil
Nice automobile !
I believe ES stands for Executive Sedan.
Elegant sedan they told me this at the Lexus dealership when I bought my car there.
Executive SEDAN it is!
You're absolutely right! I worked for Toyota/Lexus head office back in 2004 and I've seen documents referring to this model as the Executive Sedan. If anybody says otherwise, they're simply guessing!
Scotty meant to say, "This cat has killed thousands." Referring to his family member who died a while back.
2014 with 158K for $18K?! 😱
I bought my wife a 2003 es 300 that is in great shape has 200k and only paid 5k but it is still like new 😂 let me bring it to you to check out im in northwest Nc?
Christine?
Good video, Scotty. Would like to see more one trucks.
That's the car I always wanted😊
How did it kill anybody? Jesus Christ Scotty!
Well done scotty. Thanks for the video 👍
Scotty I’ve been watching you for 5 years now. Love your videos ! Thanks to you I own a Honda accord now. Got tired of working on my own vehicles so now I have one that doesn’t need work 😂
Hey Scotty, what’s your opinion on ES 350 build in the USA 🇺🇸 now in days? Any concerns about built quality or trust Lexus quality ? Thanks
Opinions are mixed, from what I've seen for this generation (2016-2018) US builds, some owners complain about things like body panels, things not being flush, abnormal sounds/rattles here and there. Others claim there is no difference
Just finished Scotty's "Don't buy a Lexus, buy a Toyota" video. I'm so confused.
😂
Lexus uses a LOT more technology than their Toyota cars ...
There will always be a es in my garage
158k miles and 18k in the hole sounds like he got ripped off!
I own a 2015 Lexus ES250 it has 53000km on tap Im from South Africa and had Mercs ,BMW and Audi but Lexus is by far better than these German cars
How much is your fuel consumption on your es250?
Scotty where are your golden sneakers?
Why would anyone drive to California?
Come for the weather, stay for the homeless
