I bought A 2017 CPO ES for under $25K, great car. Handles really well, which surprised me, especially in sport mode. No regrets, and I've had Mercedes, Audis and BMWs. Nice review.
@@sergioramirez1693 Bought it near Philadelphia, got it during the early pandemic days when nobody was buying. Now they are asking for $30K for a similar car.
I just bought a 2017 ES 350 with 10,000 miles. Great car and I'm very satisfied. I've had many luxury cars including Mercedes and BMW. This is very comparable to these cars with the added reliability factor Lexus has. Great video!
@@MeynMotorGroup love your videos. I'm a huge Lexus fan. I'm getting an ES after owning an awesome 2013 Toyota Avalon. I've found a 2013 ES with 100k. Miles on it and a 2016 with 150k. I love the 16 but obviously it has a bit more miles. I know you can pile the miles on these cars. Any advise? Both have a good Carfax with documentation
How was your experience with it? How long did you keep it? I just bought a 2017 ES with 95k miles, replacing my 2007 Camry (from new) with 227k miles, same engine. I had hoped to run that Camry to at least 250 maybe 300k, but a bad axle job has caused a click-click sound at take off that Toyota says is in the transmission that they predict could be trouble down the road. I didn't want something with this high miles, so seeing your comment makes me curious. Please say.
Straight to the point! 👍Now it's definitely a no brainer when I'm ready to upgrade from 2007 ES350... Well looking at GS350 but keeping my options open! Thanks again Kevin!
Got rid of my BMW 2 series and bought a used 2014 Lexus ES 350, just drove it home 650 km and it was lovely, I feel so blessed to have this car in my garage.
Great review Kevin.. AS you know my 2013 ES350 is amazing, now with only 38k miles. Original owner took delivery in August 2012, so essentially its 8 years old but it drives like it just rolled off the showroom floor ! Still tight and super quiet.. I have the luxury package which gives me memory drivers seat, heating and cooled front seats, electronic adjustable steering wheel, rear sunshade and more I’m sure I’m missing here. Love it and will be keeping this baby for 10+ years ! The build quality and reliability of Lexus specifically the ES is unparalleled. “Elegant Sedan” is truly remarkable.. Last April when i was looking for a great ES, I was tempted to go 2013 Camry. AT the time the Camry was about $6-7K less than my ES which was $17,995 and i said to myself at 54 years young just spend the extra $ and treat myself ! Knock on wood, ive owned it since APril 2019 and ive only replaced 1 TPM sensor.. changed the oil myself when i hit 33k miles and I’m about to do another oil change today.. Synthetic 0W-20, actually Toyota “brand” oil which ive read is Mobil One but with extra additives added by Toyota specifically for Toyota engines ...
@@Andrew-cg2zl I’ve actually sold that car to carvana about 3 months ago and bought a 2002 ES300 one owner from a small dealership in NJ. I bought that ES350 at a volvo/Mercury dealership in NJ 2 years ago. Not sure if it’s still available on Carvanas website. It had about 42 k Miles when I sold it. If It’s still available I’m sure it’s around $22,000
Just got a CPO 2017 ES 350 in Caviar (metallic black) and I am stoked. It had 66,000 miles all serviced through the logical dealer and I am hoping it lasts for years! I am in love....
Thanks, Kevin! I like that you review used cars.. For those of us who keep our cars for a long time or those of us who buy used, your videos are a valuable resource.
This is an absolute bargain for luxury + reliability under 25k.. these can be had for such a price and it can easily go 100k+ miles... underrated but it's amazing that everyone and their momma is obsessed with SUV's. It allows for sedans to be under priced.
I totally disagree. I own a 05 Volvo XC70 with 230k and I've had it now fives yrs and she runs super freaking mint. My Volvo will out perform most of these new PCs on wheels, on the the road today. Having said, Carvana just delivered my wife's 2015 Lexus ES 350 with only 42k miles and she rides buttery smooth. Volvo and Lexus, two of the best lasting vehicles (if taking care of properly) money can buy.
I still have a B6 Passat but it’s really just engine problems and it’s so picky and gentle in maintenance. The reason I’m thinking of getting a Lexus is because the B6 Passat interior was amazing and I loved it because it’s my first car but it has a rear engine seal that’s leaking oil so even if I could get it fixed for $450, I’ve already put $4,000 into it. The only thing I’ll say that I’ll miss is a digital speedometer. I am just lazy in reading the analogue meter 😂
I was not entirely familiar with the ES 350 when I watched this video last night. I bought a 2014 with 24k miles today for the price of a 50k miles Camry. Absolutely prestine. Such a SOLID and quality car. I will cherish this car for many years.
THE RELIABILITY AND VALUE IS UNREAL. JUST TRADED MY 2016 ES350 FULLY LOADED WITH 86K MILES AND GOT $17,200. WHEN THE SALES GUY CAME BACK AND TOLD ME WE CAN ROLL $17,200 INTO A NEW DEAL I IMMEDIATELY WENT FROM LOOKING AT A 2020 BASE LEXUS ES350 TO A 2020 ES350 F SPORT.
Your videos are very good and helpful. Also if anyone has scratches on the high gloss plastic you can buff out those scratches easily using Polywatch acrylic polish. This polish is designed to buff out scratches on acrylic watches.
i love the high tech sentences Kevin uses, "It's a high quality Object" "It has pinned down quality" "It looks prestigious" "Blue chip used car* and so on
My mom has a 2015 ES350. She loves it and she always wanted a Lexus. In fact, our family is pretty much a Lexus family now. I have a 2009 IS250, and my sister has a 2014 RX350. Lovely cars. One day my next car will be an RC350 F-Sport. Awesome.
The 2016-2018 Lexus ES350 is by far the best used luxury sedan for the price. The prestige of a Lexus, comfortable quiet interior, luxury amenities like heated and cooled seats. Additionally this car has a N/A V6 off course which will always be smoother and more refined than a turbo 4 competitor. You are paying 3 series money for a car the size of a 5 series. I own a 2006 Toyota Avalon Limited with the 3.5 V6 (same engine as this car) and had absolutely 0 problems. A used ES will probably be my next move after that car.
Bought a fully loaded 2013 ES300H with 58k miles for $16,000 in 2018. It's now at 125k miles. Not a single problem occurred. It takes 87 gas, so $19 for a full tank of gas (Texas gas) that lasts about 500 miles. Super cheap insurance I guess because more old and careful type of people buy this car instead of the teenies. A/C is freezing cold unlike the German's A/C which takes like forever to get to temp. Maintenance is like $150 every 5000 miles. And til now I can trade it in at anytime for $10k-$12k after driving it for 67k miles. Crazy.
I bought an 08 ES350 in June 2019, it's an amazing car and I plan on driving it till it falls apart. The only major issue so far has been the transmission, which needed to be replaced after I put 10k miles on the car because it started slipping badly. The fluid was completely black and burned because the previous owners declined the recommended fluid change at 100k miles at the Lexus dealership, which wasn't disclosed to me nor showed up on the carfax.
I bought a 2017 ultra luxury ES 350. I love the car, but now that I’ve seen the IS 500 is coming out in a few months I’m going to have to trade mine in within the next 2 years. Luckily it’s a Lexus so I’ll still end up with positive equity towards the IS 🙌🏼
The 7th Generation will also be very popular on the used car market down the road. Lots of improvements over this ES (6th Gen). The 2020 model would be most desirable since it has power folding mirrors and Apple Carplay AND Android Auto.
After watching this review I went out and purchased one paid a little more than I would've liked but got an excellent interest rate. I love it, and it rides like "Butter" I already own a 2011 IS250 Lexus so this was the perfect addition to the family.
I just traded in my 2014 BMW 750Li I bought CPO with 30k miles on a 2017 ES350 with 17K miles. BMW was total garbage quality. Literally wont stop breaking down. Feels so good to have a really reliable luxury car now.
The interior not even on par with the IS or GS it’s just a hyped up Avalon that’s made in America the IS an GS both made only in japan follow the roots to Lexus and not a hyped up Toyota
@@Atthewgoop I agree regarding the interior not being as sophisticated as the GS, but I disagree regarding the ES being comparable to an Avalon. My brother owns a Toyota, and if you get out of any Toyota Camry or Avalon and get directly in to any Lexus, you will see just how distinctive Lexus is in comparison to Toyota.Also, Lexus customer services is unmatched.
The Lexus ES is the best car in the business and the best car in the world 🌎 reliable quality and comfort quality and luxury quality and it’s guaranteed headaches free nothing to worry about it’s made solid quality for solid customers made in.japan 🇯🇵
My 2007 ES350 is a freaking champ! A year straight with worn front wheel bearings and then the CV axles were starting and the car kept going! Had them replaced and it feels like a 5 year (new) Lexus!
Im a 23 year old that just bought a 2016 ES350 & i love the smooth ride & great space but i wish i went with the GS being that its a little more sporty. But for sure my next car will be a GS or IS
My Grandpa bought a brand new 90 Lexus LS400 in 89 and passed it on to My Dad who passed it to Me and I’m gonna pass it to My Son. It has 325k Miles and in perfect condition with original paint & Leather except the center armrest has been redone
I absolutely love my 2013 GS350; however, I must admit the interior in the ES is definitely more exquisite compared to the GS. Although, there are plenty of after market tuning and customization for the GS. GS is a drivers car. ES is truly a luxury vehicle and makes driving to your destination pleasurable and worry free. Both have outstanding reliability.
Mack124 the GS is far better then the Es in every way. The Gs has a lot more soft touch material then the Es. The ES is a hyped up Avalon the GS is a perfect car in all its generations
David Caudill Trust me I wouldn’t trade my GS for any ES. Not even the new one. And i have driven that one. As sporty as the new ES looks now, still feels like a car for boring people. I am sorry I just had to say it.
I own a '16 UL w/Pano Roof and I 100% agree with everything said here. The 18's definitely improve the handling but you do feel a bit more bumps. Something that I noticed is this refresh has the newer Gen Lexus steering wheel that doesn't even come on the 2020 IS 350 (go figure lol). Overall, great review! You definitely earned my respect with your facts and my sub.
Nice! That is awesome that you own an Ultra Luxury version of this car. I'm sure your car might come with the double pane glass. And thanks so much for your support my friend. Stay blessed!
@@MeynMotorGroup Thanks man, I'm really happy with it so far, I'm glad I didn't go TLX lol! I'm not sure about the double-pane glass but I'll check my options list. You definitely have my support, your reviews are awesome, well researched and factual. Stay safe, stay blessed!
I bought a 2016 es350 luxury package one with the 18 inch wheels and iv love the car I feel like it's a upgrade from my 09 camry I had never owned a lexus but love it I wanted a ls460 but just couldn't find one in my budget but this one I like very much some things look similar from the ls to the es that's why I was interested in the es the gs did feel smaller to me and didn't go with that one I wanted something closer to the ls460l but this es felt great for what I liked the leg room for. It's true ppl did think it is a 2020 es it had 70k miles and looks and drives like it's new still
@@kolhapure This Channel is the Best!!! I just subscribed, I've taken all their advice and starting filiming Lexus' too. I just uploaded a new video with similar content on my channel. PLZ watch/subscribe and gimme me some feedback/love ! Thank you ! 1 REPLY
Hey Kevin, you being a huge Lexus fan, I know you've gotten the opportunity to peek at the new Lexus is350, well I did yesterday & all I can say is Wow, I want one!
That is a nice es we have a 16 es300H at the dealership for 26k with 54k miles love the Lexus brand and definitely would give our 19 terrain denali for a RX
Thank you for keeping it real. I enjoy watching your videos. Every time I watch one of your videos I’m like “okay that’s the one I want” ...and then you put out another video and again I’m like ...”no that’s the one I want” so many choices. But seriously great video. I can’t stand how nit picky other channels are. My choices are coming down to either Mazda CX-5 (small trunk kinda kills it for me tho), Mazda CX-9 (slower acceleration tho), Toyota RAV4 (slow), Lexus es350 (not used to a sedan). Really want a Lexus rx350 but my uncle has that and I don’t want to copy him lol. So many choices lol
Appreciate that my friend! Yea haha there's no real bad choices anymore but I will say the RX truly is one of the best SUVs especially the 2020. The GX is also an excellent choice but costs a bit more and has amazing resale. I think the biggest negative is the poor gas mileage with that amazing V8. If you don't drive a lot, the GX can be a great choice.
Leased new Oc. 2017, , had it for 2 yrs 30,000 miles. Absolutely no problems, TERRIFIC car (luxury model). A keeper except feral pig (!) wandered on freeway, hit it with right fender, swung around & hit the door, right side air bags popped open, TOTALED!! Stretched and leased Oct. 2019 new platform 2019 model ES 300h instead, GREAT car, couple of notches upgrade over 2017 model. Pig free, a keeper! Wouldn't hesitate to own another 2017 ES 350.
Jeez glad you're safe at first I read federal pigs so I thought some feds caused the accident. But yes great rides for sure the 2019 generation is such a plush ride
Exhaust Sports Auto Lol Yupp bro I think it was a LX on the Hypnotize song in a Lexus LX four in a half bullet proof glass tints if I want some ass he says if I’m not mistaken got to listen to that in the car tomorrow being stuck back on Biggie and old rap/hip hop and r&b songs when music had the best quality bro
Exhaust Sports Auto And Yupp when I found that out he didn’t drive I’m like wow he never got to experience the driving feel I mean don’t get me wrong being driving around was a great feel too I’m sure lol but to me the feel of driving and controlling the car is the best to me
Thanks for the excellent review. Would you say used 2019 ES is worth the price increase compared to 2017? As you know 19’ has a new chassis but I’m just interested to see if you think ‘19 is worth extra 6-7k?
@@MeynMotorGroup ah you think so? I feel like they're definitely less common but by no stretch are they limited edition or some special exclusive car. The aged Lexus design language and the even more aged interior should help it find a snug spot. I can't see it rising in value among enthusiasts because it's a big heavy luxury sedan. If we couldn't save the Chevy SS/Holden Commodore, idk how we save that thing
Well I don't think it's going to go up like the LFA 😅 but I think it will maintain and go up slightly because ever since Lexus announced that they will not be producing anymore V8s, this dealership sold out of ALL their GX460s lol and my friend was looking at getting a used LC and he did a nationwide search on cargurus and there was 120 available and when he checked recently, there were only 60 something used LCs. It will take time because you're the spec sheet freaks will never understand these cars but actually they don't run the used car prices. Used prices I've noticed are dictated by more sensible variables. But we'll see
@@MeynMotorGroup 🤷🏽♂️ yeah time tells all. I've yet to drive a Lexus so I can only go by features and competitor pricing. Engine noise is only worth so much to me personally but people spent dump truck loads of money on old cars - that's for sure. You go on Cars & Bids and you see people having to go pretty high to win something so surpassed by time and technology.
Yea these new cars can't give the sensation of older cars and so far Lexus is the most dated old feeling car so the new car people dont appreciate it but in time the prices will reflect probably but again who knows
Hi, I'm looking at the used cars market right now and trying to decide between this and the Genesis G80, both of them are really similar in price. Which one should I go for as a new grad?
Genesis G80 is by far the most superior luxury car ever made but everyone hates it because it's a "Hyundai" Actually the G80 and G90 annihilates everything in the Lexus lineup but nobody wants to hear that. My choice would be a Certified Pre Owned G80 or one with an extended warranty but if you just like the Lexus badge, then yes the ES 350 CPO is a fine car too
I have seen a listing for this vehicle, from 2017, for $11k. The catch is it’s mileage is 214k miles. Do you think I should consider it ? It is a one owner vehicle as well.
The LS 430 was the pinnacle of Lexus build quality. That being said the 13+ ES 350 is a fantastic car that will have a very low cost of ownership and last for 20 years of regular use.
How would you compare this older ES model from 2013-2017 to a 2018+ camry? Used ES is around the same price as a used newer camry, if you can remember how was the ride quality and overall interior quality of a ES compared to the camry?
Honestly they are kind of better ride was similar but maybe the older ES handled a bit better? Idk they were surprisingly similar. Interior was def better in the ES and engine was better
@@MeynMotorGroup ok thanks. Im looking into those two right now and a used 2014 es and used 2017 es is around the price of a used 2018 camry depending on which model. Those camry interiors are some of the cheapest looking interiors i have ever seen and im looking at older es's and they havent aged a bit in my opinion and somehow look more high quality than a car thats way newer.
Kevin, I Think My Favorite Car At The Moment Is The BMW M8 Coupe', Alex On Autos Just Reviewed The 4 Door...Right After That I Saw A Vid From Europe Where These Two Dudes Raced A M8 Competitor (2 Door) VS A LAMBO URUS & The M8 Came Out The Winner. They Had Previously Raced The URUS VS The Audi RS 6 & The URUS Smoked It....CHEERS!
Man those binmers are just rockets BMW is easily the fastest from Germany and not just in spec sheets or drag racing, you really feel the speed in your gut when you smash on it in the bimmer unlike some of its competitors that claim a similar 0-60
Hi Kevin. Thanks again for your on point reviews . Can you tell me your thoughts on the ease of entering and exiting this car vs the 2019 due to its lower point of gravity on the 2019? How much of a difference is there?
As a person who drove all Lexus cars need your opinion. I have 2006 lexus ls, I'm thinking of getting 2017 es350, what would you say about cabin quietness, wngine sound? I like cruising no racing, ao less engine noise better. You think es350 will be a good replacement or i might not be so happy with it after LS.
What are your thoughts on the new Toyota Camry I have never seen you do a video on them and would like to know your opinion I am looking to get one in the future the XSE trim model they go for around $25-$30k CPO with less than 20k miles a little pricey but worth the money I think.
Sorry forgot to respond because I'm an idiot but actually I have not driven a new camry because my access in this area is so bad. I did drive a 2017 camry hybrid they are nice and comfortable but with that kind of mileage I may have to go ES or just negotiate down on a new XSE
Looking at a 2015 with 80k miles. $13.3k. 2 owner. I would prefer an SUV or GS/sportier car, but I would like to stay around $12k. This seems like too good of a deal to pass up. This would be a daily. Do you think I’ll regret not getting a sportier car or SUV/truck?
Crazy how much they ask for this car is still since its been discontinued and going on 4 years old. 45k to 30k in 3 years isn't a good deal. I can get a 400hp Lincoln MKZ black label AWD for 25k CPO with 30k miles that was 60k msrp 3 years ago.
@@MeynMotorGroup I hear you on that. My local dealer has a 2019 ES 350 ultra luxury with 15k miles for $40k CPO. I might go take a look at it for the heck of it. Still torn on the 2021 TLX advanced 2.0T SH-AWD, Lincoln MKZ black label 3.0T AWD, or Lexus ES 350 ultra luxury. What do you think I should do lol I keep flip flopping because the New tlx redesign & the Lincoln style gets my attention. I guess I should keep emotion out of the purchase and use my head.
Well I think emotion is very important and I think you should wait and try all of them. And in the meantime see what you can negotiate down on a Brand new ES with no miles that's maybe been sitting on the lot. I think they're all great cars I'm surprised so many people like lincolns lol
@@MeynMotorGroup Lincoln is at the point people cross shop with Lexus on crossovers. I'm a fan of there exterior and interior's. The new TLX looks fantastic design wise and tech wise even though they aren't a luxury brand officially now. My flaw with the MKZ is its based off the cheap Ford fusion and made in mexico. Mainly an appearance package for exterior and interior. I guess that leaves the TLX vs ES. Wonder if the TLX is now on par with the ES on quality for the same price?

I was not entirely familiar with the ES 350 when I watched this video last night. I bought a 2014 with 24k miles today for the price of a 50k miles Camry. Absolutely prestine. Such a SOLID and quality car. I will cherish this car for many years.
THE RELIABILITY AND VALUE IS UNREAL. JUST TRADED MY 2016 ES350 FULLY LOADED WITH 86K MILES AND GOT $17,200. WHEN THE SALES GUY CAME BACK AND TOLD ME WE CAN ROLL $17,200 INTO A NEW DEAL I IMMEDIATELY WENT FROM LOOKING AT A 2020 BASE LEXUS ES350 TO A 2020 ES350 F SPORT.
Was it worth it?
Your videos are very good and helpful. Also if anyone has scratches on the high gloss plastic you can buff out those scratches easily using Polywatch acrylic polish. This polish is designed to buff out scratches on acrylic watches.
i love the high tech sentences Kevin uses,
"It's a high quality Object"
"It has pinned down quality"
"It looks prestigious"
"Blue chip used car*
and so on
Lolol 😆 glad you liked that my friend
@Victor Bravo the SHEER swagger is what I should have said 😆
I just bought an all black with peanut butter interior. I’m in love.
💚💙⚡️
My mom has a 2015 ES350. She loves it and she always wanted a Lexus. In fact, our family is pretty much a Lexus family now. I have a 2009 IS250, and my sister has a 2014 RX350. Lovely cars. One day my next car will be an RC350 F-Sport. Awesome.
The 2016-2018 Lexus ES350 is by far the best used luxury sedan for the price. The prestige of a Lexus, comfortable quiet interior, luxury amenities like heated and cooled seats. Additionally this car has a N/A V6 off course which will always be smoother and more refined than a turbo 4 competitor. You are paying 3 series money for a car the size of a 5 series. I own a 2006 Toyota Avalon Limited with the 3.5 V6 (same engine as this car) and had absolutely 0 problems. A used ES will probably be my next move after that car.
For sure!
I bought 2017 es 350 CPO last year with 30 K on it...almost like new, I luv it!!!
30k
Bought a fully loaded 2013 ES300H with 58k miles for $16,000 in 2018. It's now at 125k miles. Not a single problem occurred. It takes 87 gas, so $19 for a full tank of gas (Texas gas) that lasts about 500 miles. Super cheap insurance I guess because more old and careful type of people buy this car instead of the teenies. A/C is freezing cold unlike the German's A/C which takes like forever to get to temp. Maintenance is like $150 every 5000 miles. And til now I can trade it in at anytime for $10k-$12k after driving it for 67k miles. Crazy.
And that's how you do it 👏
Those hybrid ESs have the lowest cost of ownership of any Lexus that I'm aware of. Amazing gas mileage on regular gas and the brakes last for 200k!
I bought an 08 ES350 in June 2019, it's an amazing car and I plan on driving it till it falls apart. The only major issue so far has been the transmission, which needed to be replaced after I put 10k miles on the car because it started slipping badly. The fluid was completely black and burned because the previous owners declined the recommended fluid change at 100k miles at the Lexus dealership, which wasn't disclosed to me nor showed up on the carfax.
Are they going to replace it for free?
The ES is such a great car. I’m thinking about getting this once I’m done with my Corolla.
I did this 😂
I bought a 2017 ultra luxury ES 350. I love the car, but now that I’ve seen the IS 500 is coming out in a few months I’m going to have to trade mine in within the next 2 years. Luckily it’s a Lexus so I’ll still end up with positive equity towards the IS 🙌🏼
The 7th Generation will also be very popular on the used car market down the road. Lots of improvements over this ES (6th Gen). The 2020 model would be most desirable since it has power folding mirrors and Apple Carplay AND Android Auto.
Oh yes 2020 ES one of the best cars ever made honestly
I have a 2015 Lexus ES350 170k miles running like new no problems. Lovenit
That's awesome! Glad it's treating you well
After watching this review I went out and purchased one paid a little more than I would've liked but got an excellent interest rate. I love it, and it rides like "Butter" I already own a 2011 IS250 Lexus so this was the perfect addition to the family.
I just traded in my 2014 BMW 750Li I bought CPO with 30k miles on a 2017
ES350 with 17K miles. BMW was total garbage quality. Literally wont
stop breaking down. Feels so good to have a really reliable luxury car
now.
BMW--Breaking My Wallet!!
Another comprehensive review. If someone hasn't placed a deposit on this thing after seeing this video I'm shocked! Lovely motor
Thank you! And funny enough I was back there today to review a CT200h and a gentleman was looking at that exact car I reviewed 😆
I got a ES 2017 just because the INTERIOR just LUXURY and Beautiful!! better than IS and GS! And yes regular Fuel!
Nice!
The interior not even on par with the IS or GS it’s just a hyped up Avalon that’s made in America the IS an GS both made only in japan follow the roots to Lexus and not a hyped up Toyota
@@Atthewgoop I agree regarding the interior not being as sophisticated as the GS, but I disagree regarding the ES being comparable to an Avalon. My brother owns a Toyota, and if you get out of any Toyota Camry or Avalon and get directly in to any Lexus, you will see just how distinctive Lexus is in comparison to Toyota.Also, Lexus customer services is unmatched.
I'm looking for one and stumbled upon this video and thanks for the review
Thank you my friend appreciate you stopping by!
My mom just bought a 15 es350 it has power like a sports car
That's nice!
The Lexus ES is the best car in the business and the best car in the world 🌎 reliable quality and comfort quality and luxury quality and it’s guaranteed headaches free nothing to worry about it’s made solid quality for solid customers made in.japan 🇯🇵
It is a very good car 😂
The ES was one of the only Lexus that’s made in America
My 2007 ES350 is a freaking champ! A year straight with worn front wheel bearings and then the CV axles were starting and the car kept going! Had them replaced and it feels like a 5 year (new) Lexus!
That is a wonderful run-on sentence.
Yeah, the ES is made in America. Been that way for many years now. The GS however, is made in Japan.
Excellent review man!!!
Just picked up a 2013 ES 350, and I must say it is beautiful! Real leather and wood trim. Got in white with peanut interior 😊😊😊
Im a 23 year old that just bought a 2016 ES350 & i love the smooth ride & great space but i wish i went with the GS being that its a little more sporty. But for sure my next car will be a GS or IS
My Grandpa bought a brand new 90 Lexus LS400 in 89 and passed it on to My Dad who passed it to Me and I’m gonna pass it to My Son. It has 325k Miles and in perfect condition with original paint & Leather except the center armrest has been redone
I absolutely love my 2013 GS350; however, I must admit the interior in the ES is definitely more exquisite compared to the GS.
Although, there are plenty of after market tuning and customization for the GS.
GS is a drivers car.
ES is truly a luxury vehicle and makes driving to your destination pleasurable and worry free.
Both have outstanding reliability.
Nice! Yea great rides
Mack124 the GS is far better then the Es in every way. The Gs has a lot more soft touch material then the Es. The ES is a hyped up Avalon the GS is a perfect car in all its generations
@@Atthewgoop Well somebody owns a GS
@@MeynMotorGroup I also own a GS, but I don't know what Mack is talking about. The ES has a cheaper interior compared to the GS.
David Caudill Trust me I wouldn’t trade my GS for any ES. Not even the new one. And i have driven that one. As sporty as the new ES looks now, still feels like a car for boring people.
I am sorry I just had to say it.
I own a '16 UL w/Pano Roof and I 100% agree with everything said here. The 18's definitely improve the handling but you do feel a bit more bumps. Something that I noticed is this refresh has the newer Gen Lexus steering wheel that doesn't even come on the 2020 IS 350 (go figure lol). Overall, great review! You definitely earned my respect with your facts and my sub.
Nice! That is awesome that you own an Ultra Luxury version of this car. I'm sure your car might come with the double pane glass. And thanks so much for your support my friend. Stay blessed!
@@MeynMotorGroup Thanks man, I'm really happy with it so far, I'm glad I didn't go TLX lol! I'm not sure about the double-pane glass but I'll check my options list. You definitely have my support, your reviews are awesome, well researched and factual. Stay safe, stay blessed!
Yea way better than a TLX lol and thanks again humbled to hear that!
Exhaust Sports Auto 💯
Thanks Kevin. I am finalizing purchase of a 2017 ES 350!!
Best review so far
Thanks!
Got the 2016 ultra luxury. Mark Levinson system piano roof love the car
I bought a 2016 es350 luxury package one with the 18 inch wheels and iv love the car I feel like it's a upgrade from my 09 camry I had never owned a lexus but love it I wanted a ls460 but just couldn't find one in my budget but this one I like very much some things look similar from the ls to the es that's why I was interested in the es the gs did feel smaller to me and didn't go with that one I wanted something closer to the ls460l but this es felt great for what I liked the leg room for. It's true ppl did think it is a 2020 es it had 70k miles and looks and drives like it's new still
Massive congrats my friend, the ES is really a great choice in the luxury market
My mom has a 2007 ES350. It's a great car that has been as reliable as possible.
I'd like to buy this for my mom one day
That is admirable!
Great thought.. All the best.

Excellent review!
Thanks!
I've got a 2016 ultra luxury pkg ES 350 & I love it.
deff picking up the new 2022 es350 in 3 years lol. I love the absolute class that the car has love the refresh and back taillights.
It is a great ride for sure!
That's my plan too; to get a 2022 CPO in couple or 3 years, it will have touchscreen. My 2017 ES has been excellent ride so far!!
Hey Kevin, you being a huge Lexus fan, I know you've gotten the opportunity to peek at the new Lexus is350, well I did yesterday & all I can say is Wow, I want one!
Haven't seen it in person but I did a brief video when it came out I love it!
Haven't seen it in person but I did a brief video when it came out I love it!
I drive an is250 and love it.
As you should!
Great review!! Thank You! 👍🏽💯
Best review on You Tube! Well articulated! Awesome! Keep up the good work. Positive review!
Thanks for saying it is not based on the Camry or Avalon. The ES 350 2008 is a great car. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching!
That is a nice es we have a 16 es300H at the dealership for 26k with 54k miles love the Lexus brand and definitely would give our 19 terrain denali for a RX
Thank you for keeping it real. I enjoy watching your videos. Every time I watch one of your videos I’m like “okay that’s the one I want” ...and then you put out another video and again I’m like ...”no that’s the one I want” so many choices. But seriously great video. I can’t stand how nit picky other channels are. My choices are coming down to either Mazda CX-5 (small trunk kinda kills it for me tho), Mazda CX-9 (slower acceleration tho), Toyota RAV4 (slow), Lexus es350 (not used to a sedan). Really want a Lexus rx350 but my uncle has that and I don’t want to copy him lol. So many choices lol
Appreciate that my friend! Yea haha there's no real bad choices anymore but I will say the RX truly is one of the best SUVs especially the 2020.
The GX is also an excellent choice but costs a bit more and has amazing resale. I think the biggest negative is the poor gas mileage with that amazing V8. If you don't drive a lot, the GX can be a great choice.
Lol real talk
Leased new Oc. 2017, , had it for 2 yrs 30,000 miles.
Absolutely no problems, TERRIFIC car (luxury model). A keeper except feral pig (!) wandered on freeway, hit it with right fender, swung around & hit the door, right side air bags popped open, TOTALED!!
Stretched and leased Oct. 2019 new platform 2019 model ES 300h instead, GREAT car, couple of notches upgrade over 2017 model. Pig free, a keeper! Wouldn't hesitate to own another 2017 ES 350.
Jeez glad you're safe at first I read federal pigs so I thought some feds caused the accident.
But yes great rides for sure the 2019 generation is such a plush ride
Great review. Thank you
Glad you found value with it my friend!
Great review! Can you please try reviewing the 2020 Lexus GX 460
Will be working on it!
Exhaust Sports Auto Man that’ll be Great your really be riding like Biggie bro lol Big Baller Style 👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Biggie did have a GX didnt he haha even tho he didn't drive he had a bunch of little Lexus cars to be chauffeured around in
Exhaust Sports Auto Lol Yupp bro I think it was a LX on the Hypnotize song in a Lexus LX four in a half bullet proof glass tints if I want some ass he says if I’m not mistaken got to listen to that in the car tomorrow being stuck back on Biggie and old rap/hip hop and r&b songs when music had the best quality bro
Exhaust Sports Auto And Yupp when I found that out he didn’t drive I’m like wow he never got to experience the driving feel I mean don’t get me wrong being driving around was a great feel too I’m sure lol but to me the feel of driving and controlling the car is the best to me
Yes it is. I have a 2016. Excellent Car
another great review ,keep them coming !
Can you find a CT200h to review ? i would like to ear your thoughts on that car
Yes! Going to work on that soon!
Thanks for the excellent review.
Would you say used 2019 ES is worth the price increase compared to 2017?
As you know 19’ has a new chassis but I’m just interested to see if you think ‘19 is worth extra 6-7k?
Can't wait until the GSF becomes the holy grail of CPO luxury 😈
It already is but those things will start creeping up in value since they won't be made anymore. And there's not many for sale in the used market
@@MeynMotorGroup ah you think so? I feel like they're definitely less common but by no stretch are they limited edition or some special exclusive car. The aged Lexus design language and the even more aged interior should help it find a snug spot. I can't see it rising in value among enthusiasts because it's a big heavy luxury sedan. If we couldn't save the Chevy SS/Holden Commodore, idk how we save that thing
Well I don't think it's going to go up like the LFA 😅 but I think it will maintain and go up slightly because ever since Lexus announced that they will not be producing anymore V8s, this dealership sold out of ALL their GX460s lol and my friend was looking at getting a used LC and he did a nationwide search on cargurus and there was 120 available and when he checked recently, there were only 60 something used LCs. It will take time because you're the spec sheet freaks will never understand these cars but actually they don't run the used car prices. Used prices I've noticed are dictated by more sensible variables. But we'll see
@@MeynMotorGroup 🤷🏽♂️ yeah time tells all. I've yet to drive a Lexus so I can only go by features and competitor pricing. Engine noise is only worth so much to me personally but people spent dump truck loads of money on old cars - that's for sure. You go on Cars & Bids and you see people having to go pretty high to win something so surpassed by time and technology.
Yea these new cars can't give the sensation of older cars and so far Lexus is the most dated old feeling car so the new car people dont appreciate it but in time the prices will reflect probably but again who knows
You made the "others" review the LC500 😂
Hi, I'm looking at the used cars market right now and trying to decide between this and the Genesis G80, both of them are really similar in price. Which one should I go for as a new grad?
Genesis G80 is by far the most superior luxury car ever made but everyone hates it because it's a "Hyundai" Actually the G80 and G90 annihilates everything in the Lexus lineup but nobody wants to hear that.
My choice would be a Certified Pre Owned G80 or one with an extended warranty but if you just like the Lexus badge, then yes the ES 350 CPO is a fine car too
You simply can't say Lexus & Genesis in the same sentence. Get the Lexus hands down. Not even a question
I heard the 16+ is quitter than the previous years with more sound deadening behind the engine, correct me if I am wrong.
I would love to know this as well
Compare ‘13-15 vs ‘16-18 please
Hey Meyn, at what mileage should the spark plugs be replaced on these '13 - '17 ES350 models ?!? Many Thanks Yo ! 🚘🔍. . . . 💯
Is the 17” tire or the 18” tire quieter. Idk anything about cars but I want a quiet comfortable car so I want a preowned Lexus.
I have seen a listing for this vehicle, from 2017, for $11k. The catch is it’s mileage is 214k miles. Do you think I should consider it ? It is a one owner vehicle as well.
I'm going from an is350. Thoughts on power difference?
I want one of these so bad but I’m gonna get the Avalon because the insurance is gonna be 1/2 the price 😃
coming from an ls430, is the difference in quality, road noise and rattles noticeable?
Oh no way LS 430 is better in every way this is just newer lol 😆
@@MeynMotorGroup ahhh okay so really an upgrade would be an sclass.... just gotta wait to find one black on black 2014
Yea i swear that's the only real upgrade in the luxury car segment, CPO with all the warranties of course 😆
The LS 430 was the pinnacle of Lexus build quality. That being said the 13+ ES 350 is a fantastic car that will have a very low cost of ownership and last for 20 years of regular use.
Precisely
Kevin how is this model for long distance travel, the comfort?
Good day Kelvin, nice review can I get 40 to 50 thousands miles like what is the price pls
How would you compare this older ES model from 2013-2017 to a 2018+ camry? Used ES is around the same price as a used newer camry, if you can remember how was the ride quality and overall interior quality of a ES compared to the camry?
Honestly they are kind of better ride was similar but maybe the older ES handled a bit better? Idk they were surprisingly similar. Interior was def better in the ES and engine was better
@@MeynMotorGroup ok thanks. Im looking into those two right now and a used 2014 es and used 2017 es is around the price of a used 2018 camry depending on which model. Those camry interiors are some of the cheapest looking interiors i have ever seen and im looking at older es's and they havent aged a bit in my opinion and somehow look more high quality than a car thats way newer.
Kevin, I Think My Favorite Car At The Moment Is The BMW M8 Coupe', Alex On Autos Just Reviewed The 4 Door...Right After That I Saw A Vid From Europe Where These Two Dudes Raced A M8 Competitor (2 Door) VS A LAMBO URUS & The M8 Came Out The Winner. They Had Previously Raced The URUS VS The Audi RS 6 & The URUS Smoked It....CHEERS!
Man those binmers are just rockets BMW is easily the fastest from Germany and not just in spec sheets or drag racing, you really feel the speed in your gut when you smash on it in the bimmer unlike some of its competitors that claim a similar 0-60
Lexus should have standard memory seats and navi on this car.
Doesn't it have memory seats standard?
Hi Kevin. Thanks again for your on point reviews . Can you tell me your thoughts on the ease of entering and exiting this car vs the 2019 due to its lower point of gravity on the 2019? How much of a difference is there?
Thank you my friend. I feel this is 5% higher up than the new ES but similar and easy to get in and out
Fam... im planning to get a used lexus es 250 2016. Im pretty particular about milage. So I'm planning to get a 4-cylinder . Should I get it or not
As a person who drove all Lexus cars need your opinion. I have 2006 lexus ls, I'm thinking of getting 2017 es350, what would you say about cabin quietness, wngine sound?
I like cruising no racing, ao less engine noise better.
You think es350 will be a good replacement or i might not be so happy with it after LS.
ES would be louder than the 06 LS I feel like but idk test drive one yourself see if you like it
@@MeynMotorGroup that's a no no. Too much to compromise louder, fwd, plus cost, I'll keep my eyes peeled for 460. Thanks for the answer👋👍
I love my 2008!!
Is there a possibility of you doing a review of an Audi 2018-20 A6? preferably the V6 option? Thanks!
If I can find one my friend!
I’m trying to decide between a CPO Lexus ES 350 with 63k miles, or a brand new Camry, 4 cylinder. Which, in your opinion? Thanks in advance.
Get the Camry
I have lexus 2013 Rx350 so far at 69,000 miles the power liftgate motor is scrwed already
There asking for a 2018 es 350 with 44,500 miles for $33,600 where im from. You think that's a good deal? My first time car shopping
only thing I hate is the sunroof seal gets old it will make crazy noise like its from suspension drove me insane 45$ fix : )
How much gas do users of this car usually spend?
What are your thoughts on the new Toyota Camry I have never seen you do a video on them and would like to know your opinion I am looking to get one in the future the XSE trim model they go for around $25-$30k CPO with less than 20k miles a little pricey but worth the money I think.
Sorry forgot to respond because I'm an idiot but actually I have not driven a new camry because my access in this area is so bad. I did drive a 2017 camry hybrid they are nice and comfortable but with that kind of mileage I may have to go ES or just negotiate down on a new XSE
What's the outtro song? It sounds dope on my laptop pair of Edifier 1700BT's.
Looking at a 2015 with 80k miles. $13.3k. 2 owner. I would prefer an SUV or GS/sportier car, but I would like to stay around $12k. This seems like too good of a deal to pass up. This would be a daily. Do you think I’ll regret not getting a sportier car or SUV/truck?
Perhaps.
The es350 is not really a sporty car. I enjoy the smooth ride, so it's great for me, but i wasn't looking for a sporty car.
Sage advice.
The Avalon limited models are nice too
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
can you share your feeling between Lexus ES350 vs Acura RLX?
RLX handles better ES 350 has the higher quality interior and build both are comfortable
@@MeynMotorGroup thank you very much for your info.i like the quality interior on ES too
What’s the mpg? 22 or 21
Crazy how much they ask for this car is still since its been discontinued and going on 4 years old. 45k to 30k in 3 years isn't a good deal.
I can get a 400hp Lincoln MKZ black label AWD for 25k CPO with 30k miles that was 60k msrp 3 years ago.
Yea that's the demand these things carry especially since its a cpo it's tried and true people will pay it
@@MeynMotorGroup I hear you on that. My local dealer has a 2019 ES 350 ultra luxury with 15k miles for $40k CPO. I might go take a look at it for the heck of it.
Still torn on the 2021 TLX advanced 2.0T SH-AWD, Lincoln MKZ black label 3.0T AWD, or Lexus ES 350 ultra luxury.
What do you think I should do lol I keep flip flopping because the New tlx redesign & the Lincoln style gets my attention. I guess I should keep emotion out of the purchase and use my head.
Well I think emotion is very important and I think you should wait and try all of them. And in the meantime see what you can negotiate down on a Brand new ES with no miles that's maybe been sitting on the lot. I think they're all great cars I'm surprised so many people like lincolns lol
@@MeynMotorGroup Lincoln is at the point people cross shop with Lexus on crossovers. I'm a fan of there exterior and interior's.
The new TLX looks fantastic design wise and tech wise even though they aren't a luxury brand officially now.
My flaw with the MKZ is its based off the cheap Ford fusion and made in mexico. Mainly an appearance package for exterior and interior.
I guess that leaves the TLX vs ES. Wonder if the TLX is now on par with the ES on quality for the same price?
I like this car👍
