  1. Thanks. Do you know which tires you have? Some people say there is a big difference between the Bridgestone and Michelin tires which are the two brands it comes with (with the Bridgestone being worse). Because of this ES issue with the new models, I'm considering going with the GS or LS instead but have'nt test driven those two yet.
  2. Granted I bought my CPO 2005 ES330 8 years ago (in 2008); but at that time, it was very difficult to negotiate much off the asking from the dealer. I think I got them down $700 from their advertised price. I had one or two small issues that fell within the extended part of the CPO warranty, and these were covered in full by the dealer, although I must admit the issues were minor and I could have paid for them out of pocket no sweat. More major issues are only starting now.....at 11 years of age.
  3. thanks. As for snowboards and bikes, no worries about that, as I can use my wife's Acura RDX with roof and hitch racks for such things (although for skiis, I currently can get those in my ES330 through the pass through in the armrest of back seat - not sure if the new generation ES still has that). The planned new lexus for me is just for daily commute and good weather highway cruising. It seems that Lexus is trying to make just about every model more sporty to try to get the younger crowd buyers. For those of us "old souls" who want a comfortable cush floaty cruiser (and dont care about drivability), it seems the only model left that targets this driver is the LS.....
  4. Its about time for me to upgrade my 4th Gen (2005) ES 330. I'm going to go with another ES or ESh, I think (the other possibility would be going to a GS)Most important to me in a car is comfort and the traditional, time honored soft/plush lexus ride. I've been reading multiple reviews indicating that the 6th Generation has a firmer ride than prior generations. So I'm almost tempted to get a pre-owned 5thgeneration 2012 model just to get the soft ride, although it seems silly to get a 4 year old car just for that reason. Is the ridereally that different with the 6th generation? It is hard to tell on short test drives but the 6th Generation does seem firmer. Haven't encountered any major bumpy roads on test drives so far though, to really test it out.-Boston Snowboarder
