Pulled The Trigger Today ! Looking For Back -up :)

[ablumny]

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!

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!

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.

Thanks, I didnt think I'd liek the coloe as much as I do. It is awesome and I dont see many like it. I am bummed however regarding bluetooth. Any 3rd party options?

[SW03ES]

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.

Unless I can nicely integrate with the stereo, I'll stick with my earpiece too. thx

[SW03ES]

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.

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 !
