*bump Anybody? I greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi, I'm looking into a 2004 RX 330. Can someone carfax this? Thank you in advance! JTJHA31U340050168 bimmasabi@hotmail.com

I did testdrive the Camry and Avalon when I was car shopping, and compared them to the ES. The rides are different, but I must say the last time I drove a Camry, it didn't feel as good as it does now. Regarding a "Toyota salespeople will tell customers the Camry and the ES are the same car" I got a similar answer from the Lexus dealership. I asked how similar the two are, and one of them said that they're very much the same. Another salesman, who I bought the car from, said that the engines use the same block, but are built diffently in specs (i.e. diff. pistons, timing, etc. overall better fuel economy and performance) and not to mention the obvious exterior appearance. Lexus of Bellevue should educate all of the salesppl. so at least they get one straight answer. Again, that was my individual experience, and I'm sure it varies all around. Anyways, I'm happy with the ES, and the dealership seems a lot more customer oriented than bmw of bellevue. Thanks for clearing up some of my questions, I'm sure my mom will be happy with it.

I've just purchase a 2003 es300 for my mom but recently i've been hearing a lot of people say that the es300 is a dressed up camry. can someone list the major performance differences? Thanks

Why do those Nav/TV override kits cost a sh*tload of money? I understand that it's nicely integrated, but for over half of the price you can get a top of the line mobile DVD player with much more option flexibilities (No TV capability though). Also, if you mess around with the NAV system I'm assuming the warranty is voided for any problems related to it. If you've done this and works for you, that's great. Am I the only one that think it's not worth the price for it? It just feels like a big rip off to pay over 1G for something like this (from what I remember the option for the backseat DVD system in my 2004 GX was about 1G too - screen included!)
