Congrats!

What package did you get?

Starfire Pearl (white) w/ Gray leather

Fully loaded w/Navigation package I think the only thing I'm missing is the indash DVD and the panoramic roof.......

I LOVE IT sooooooooo much better than my 330 @ a very good price to....

Heres a question.....with the navigation I know XM has a service that intergrates traffic updates with your navigation is this avilable on the 350 or only avilable on the LS series?

I just purcahsed my 350 yesterday and my friends said it normally comes with a month of XM i totally blew off all the extras but im intrested in the XM radio working with my navigation for traffic updates is that option avilable on the 350?

just picked up the 350 in exchange for my 330.......1600 out of pocket 509 a month fully loaded 3 year lease 12k miles a year not bad ehh...and love alot more than my 330 so far

Just know that people's main headache with the NAV is that it locks out many functions while in motion. Although sometimes it bothers me, most of the time it is a blessing. I find myself doing more than what I should already with what functions are available, I can't imagine if it were "unlocked". And having the passenger doing it while in motion, I would still want to watch what they were doing because I don't think they know how to use it "correctly." It's just that "do this, then do that" type of control I like to have... My wife would have to say to me, "Let me do it, keep your eyes on the road." So, lock her out too!

It does compensate that with voice recognition, but some commands are recognized better than others, for instance, if you say "Lower," or "Higher," for the temperature it may understand a different thing every time. But if you say, "Seventy four degress," it gets it every time (whichever temperature you say)! Today I said, "Gas station," or "Nearest gas station," and it worked, so that one I can be confident about. You can also say addresses and it understands them very well. And phone numbers, when doing, "Dial by number," it works extremely well. The dial by name works well too, but you have to record a voice tag for each one. If you say "Home," and you have that programmed in the Nav, it will work and it will direct you home. But, who doesn't know how to get home? I use it when in another city and coming home, it calculates how long it should take me and I try to beat that.

Any feedback on the parking sensor? So as far as the acutal car is conserned I Should go with the 350?

Are you looking to get a new ES 350 or a used one? If new, I suggest waiting for the 2009's......I've heard they are making some 'tweaks' here & there. Just a suggestion.

Im looking to purcahse a "NEW" used one to save some cash. what problems are 'tweeks' fixing?

I currently have a 2006 ES 330 which is leased and ends in a month. I like the car alot and and I am considering buying it when the lease is up. I however also like the newer sporty body of the es 350. My buy out price is 21700 on the 330 and it has 41,000 miles. I'm looking into returning the 330 and purchasing the a 350 similar the link here http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp;j...mp;aff=national.

I don't have built in navigation I'm looking to add that and the parking sensor. Can any one give me any feedback on how well the navigation & parking sensor works & which route you think I should go 330 or 350?

Any help would be well apprecaited.

Hi everyone, I have a question, I just bought my first Lexus, a 2003 ES300, I was wondering if there was a way that if I could find a navigation system from maybe a junked es300, could it be put in mine, or if the dealer is able to get a new one and approximately how much it would cost?

I have the same question, I have a 2006 ES 330 I have a CD changer I'm looking to add Nav + Parking senors any idea the best route to go about this?? I'm sure I can go to the dealer ship but I have a feeling they are going to charge an arm and a leg. If I order the parts OEM is this something that I could find some one to install for a desent price? Would I save alot or should I just pay the dealership to do it? Any help would be appreciated.
