Was 61 when I purchased my ES330 and 62 when I purchased my ES350. My age may tilt the scales a bit...

This is my first Lexus. I bought my 2009 ES 350 in Dec 2009. I am 38 years old. My wife is 39 she drives it since I have bad vision and can't drive.

Bought my first Lexus ES350 on Thursday, I'm 36 years old. I drove a sports coupe the past 10 years and thought it was time for a change. I'm still getting used to it but I'm happy. :D

I'm 35 and just bought the RX2010...alot of my friends have been toying with this car, the Grand Cherokee or BMW (at least those not resigned to the dreaed 'mini-van'). I've noticed that the older crowd tends to go with the larger SUVs or the Porsche. I think men in their mid-life crisis always like say they own a porsche...even if it's not the sports car they wanted.

I was 30 when I bought my 'starter Lexus' a nice ES 330

I have owned my 08 ES for eight days now; the common question that is posed when my friends first see the car is - "Why didn't you get the IS?" I turned 29 on the day I picked my car up (completely coincidence) but I started to wonder what the average age was for owners of the ES, more specifically the 350? I test drove the IS twice, and did not like the car at all.

Just curious as to why I am hearing this question so often. Not that I really give a rip if they like the IS better, just shows I have better taste! ;)

(PriusChat had 'Polls' that contained this information - but I could not find this info when I searched this forum.)

I bought my ES last year when I was also 29, last I heard the average age of a Lexus owner is 57, I am guessing that is quite a bit lower for ES owners, I am with you, I spent about six months going back and forth from a Merc to the Lexus, but the IS is to small. It loses alot of the Luxry apeal when you have to fold yourself into it.

Bought my first Lexus (95' LS400) when I was 30. I'm now 35 and bought my current Lexus (01' GS430) about 6 weeks ago. Knowing how good these cars are, I tend to look for older, properly maintained models that require the basic normal wear and tear maintenance. Bought the LS to feel older than I was. Bought the GS to remind myself I'm not quite that old. Traded the 07' Mazda 3GT because I'm not 16 anymore. Drive the 4runner on those "f'it days". Would love to have an older 911 in the garage as a toy to help blow the rest of the hair off the top of my head on the weekends, but can't fit the baby stroller in the front trunk. <_<

Would love to have a fully loaded Sienna minivan too. Yeah, I admit it.

My wife and I were 58 when we bought our 2007 ES 350. Now 60 and both us and the car are going strong. 50,000 miles(on the car that is) ;) We had a '99 RX 300 for three years.

Every case is different . I'm 69 and have an IS250 for it's nimbleness and RWD handling. But my wife has a second generation Cadillac CTS which has many of the comfort/luxury traits of the ES350. And we can trade off whenever we want.

So different strokes for different folks. They're all good cars (especially compared to many of the cars when I was young :rolleyes: ), so just drive and enjoy.

I was 31 at the time [now 32] I bought my 2008 ES 350. I strongly considered the IS 350 but felt that the interior was a bit cramped for me. Plus tire maintenance would cost significanly more as they are only 20K mile tires and could not be rotated.

I bought my first ES at age 36. I just bought my second (a 2010 ES 350) last week at age 45. The reason I didn't consider an IS or BMW 3 series is that I am 6'3" and the IS looks like a toy car when I get out of it. The BMW 528 is $50,000 and i just got my new ES out the door for under $40k.

Hello, I am new to the forum and a first time lexus buyer. I am 40, have owned Toyota in the past and decided to step it up a notch. Test drove G37, TSX, Lexus IS 250,350, and Camry XLE V6 before buying my 2010 ES silver w/grey and brown wood interior with no nav.

Most reports say the average age of new ES350 buyers is around 60. It seems like the average is lower for pre-owned buyers.
