SW03ES

If you're real interested in the car go in there with a check and see what he'll take. Thats way too high and he must know that, he's probably looking for negotiating room. Glad to hear things are going well!

Then go post on the "other" Lexus forum. We don't stifle our member's viewpoints and encourage active discussion here. The only person dragging this off-track is you. If you prefer being told what to talk about all the time then by all means. No more, if you have criticism or suggestions make them in such a way that does not detract from active discussions being enjoyed by our members (meaning in private or in the suggestions and feedback forum)

True, he's taken the depreciation hit already but that loss is deferred the longer he owns the car. Selling a brand new car after a few months simply because you see something else you like better is foolish, no way around it.

Uh huh ;)

The vaistech won't work without the nav.

I agree with Jim, if it was repo'ed what is the likelyhood that the car was maintained properly?

When you look at what he spent on the ES vs what he'd be able to get for it now he'd take a huge financial bath. Unless the LS were a spectacular below market deal he'd definately be in the red. I'm sorry, but even if it is a Lexus its still a car. If you go through life just changing your mind months after buying a new car and flitting around to new options all the time, unless you have significant financial resources you will damage yourself. As for the car, the ES is far more LS like than most people (namely LS owners) like to admit, ESPECIALLY the ES350. The ES post 02 was designed specifically to posess much of the driving feel and dynamics of the LS. The LS is a nicer car, no question and given the choice between an LS and an ES I'd take the LS (although I would still probably, and did, choose a new ES over a used LS). But unless you're switching back and forth between the ES and the LS all the time you don't notice the areas where the ES falls short of the LS. The LS is the car that got me into Lexus, my dad has had two. When I drive the LS I'm always awe struck by it and immediately start thinking about buying one for myself. Then, when I drive the ES again I'm always impressed by how similar it is to the LS and the desire to replace it goes by the wayside. Whenever my Dad rides in or drives my ES or an ES350 loaner he always says the same thing, that he's surprised how similar it is. The switch isn't worth taking a bath for.

Yep, ONR is the the answer.

Elrukin, do you sell this stuff? The only things you've ever posted on this site are schilling this stuff with links and I keep removing your links. We don't allow vendors to sell on our site for free. To everyone else, I've been restoring headlights by polishing for years with no ill effects.

I've been there, and its really hard when someone you're interested in shows some interest. What you have to realize is this stuff she's saying now is a form of control. She's using your interest in her to keep you where she wants you. She might not even realize she's doing this, but she is. I had this exact thing happen, girl I wanted to be with moved away and then tried to have a long distance relationship with me AFTER she moved. I went along with it and it was stupid, I missed out on a lot of fun. Don't miss out.

Aniline leather doesn't specify cooled seats, you can have cooled seats that aren't aniline. No clue why the RX doesn't have them, I love them (mine doesn't have them either, too old).

Its just different tastes. The Bose sounds louder, its more of a rock and roll system while the ML is designed to deliver clear perfect sound. Live with the ML for a while, you'll get used to it.

I'll give you the same answer I gave you on the LS board, no for the only reason that you'd take a huge bath on your ES350 depreciation wise since its so new.

Sometimes they'll do good faith stuff after the warranty has expired.

Good luck!

On all models. You should be able to start new topics and please don't post in all caps.

The LS does too and has since 1998. To the last poster, if the shop did "OEM" glass and only charged you $250 it was not OEM.

I wouldn't do it for the very reason that you're going to take a bath financially on your ES350 because its so new. That has nothing to do with the LS vs the ES, it simply would be a very dumb financial move.

Everybody's had a girl like that, thats so classic haha. You need to stop talking to this girl.

If you're going to get a warranty get it from Lexus. $1800 is too much, I paid $1500 for mine and you can buy them from dealers online for $1000 or so.

You'd have to ask. Its a TSIB not a recall, so my guess would be they won't cover it if its out of warranty.

Oh I agree, but you can get the genuine Lexus warranty on the web.

This thread is a discussion about the new RX, which is what everyone who has posted in it has done, discuss the new RX. Discussing marketability and things like that are just fine. Please leave the moderating to us.

It won't make a difference as long as it is the genuine Lexus warranty.

Those are hand-rub products that will work for individual scratches, they're not designed to be used over the whole car.
