ablumny Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I had been shopping for a used Acura RL or Avalon when I stumbled upon a Lexus dealer and test drove an 03 ES300 I beleive. Fell in love with the amenties, plushness and ride right away. After tons of research I bought an 2005 ES330 today from a private seller. Shale Blue/Gray Int, Nav, 30K miles, all the normal amenities for an 05, mint shape, Lexus serviced. I called the dealer and ran a carfax to verify everything. I paid $25.5K which I beleive is a great deal. Any feedback? my 05 Lexus :) I also see a Connecticut Lexus Dealer selling the Lexus Platinum Warranty for $1600, $300 less than my local dealer. Any feedback on that? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ablumny Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 Well I got the car today and HOLY CRAP! :D It's better than I hoped, absolutley amaxing car. Couple of questions if anyone knows: 1. It's an 05 with NAV and ML audio. It has Voice Command but I thought I saw somewhere that it should have Blue Tooth capability? I cant seem to confirm nor find it. 2. Anyplace to download the NAV manual? The seller didnt have. I'm sure I'll have more as I play around. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW03ES Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Very nice! Had they had that color available in 03 when I got mine I would have gotten that. The 05 does not have bluetooth, the bluetooth didn't come out until 07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW03ES Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 You're right, its way more rare than the other colors. Sure, there are PLENTY of third party options. Parrot makes some nice kits, Motorola has a nice kit. I just use an earpeice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I can nicely integrate with the stereo, I'll stick with my earpiece too. thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I think Motorola probably has the smallest module, but you would have to mount a module somewhere to control the system, thats why I've stuck with the earpeice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdtheBruin Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Good luck on your 'new' purchase...it is a beautiful car. I have a 2004 ES330 and have been totally impressed with it ...however, if you really want to 'kick-up-your-heels' someday, take a look at some late model GS 300/400s - talk about 'guts,' these cars really have it !
