When I got my '08 ES350, the dealership provided free 1K and 5K service.

Hello,

Just picked up my "new" 07 es350. 17,000 baby miles. Love it, had an older model previously. Question, I need to purchase at least 1 more smartkey. Is a dealership my best option or are there internet options? Thanks in advance

I would say purchasing at the dealership would be the best option.

No Lexus, no care!

If you're looking for smooth ride, it's a no brainer, go with ES350. That's one of the reason I got mine. The ride is so smooth. Some of my friends are very impressed by how smooth the ride is, and one of them got a brand new BMW 5-series, which like the G, it's a SPORT sedan. They are great for fast cornering, but because of the stiffer suspensions, you'll feel every bump on the road.

Also, if you want realiability, stay away from Nissan/Infiniti. Their cars will be problematic much quicker than Toyota/Lexus.

I just love my ES350. I would totally do it again!

gotta go dust my car off....

I already learned to accept the dust, else I'll be washing my car every other day.

Just wanna say 'thank you' to all those contributed to this thread. I've had my '08 ES350 for about 2 months now (obsidian with tan interior). This is my first black car, and didn't realized how little I know about car detailing, or even something as simple as washing and drying. Only thing I knew was wash, dry, and wax. Microfiber? PC? Sealant? WW? GLAZE??? The only glaze I know was that on a donut! I'm opened to a whole new world...the detailing world! B)

I just recently tinted my 2008 ES350, and like someone mentioned, the shop recommended non-metallic tint because of possible interference with the antenna. I live in a 'high-risk' area, at least that's what the shop owner told me. I got 23% all around done, while the legal limit for front side windows is like much higher here in SoCal (60%? 70%?). No problem so far, and since my car has tan color interior instead of black, so it doesn't seems as dark.

Did you end up getting the ceramic? If not, any radio interference?

I got the non-metallic tint. Encountered no problem in radio interference.

Obsidian with tan interior.

Just did a quick wash with ONR, and applied a 3rd layer of UPGP.

I took the pictures using my cell phone, and it was a some what cloudy day, so they might not be the best quality.
