2008 Lexus ES350 Cream Puff - ONLY 14,188 miles

[@marcodarko6941]

Gorgeous car, somebody will be real lucky to snag that up. A nearly new 16 year old vehicle with a timeless design and still way more appealing than about 95% of any new vehicle out on the lots today. Shocking somebody traded that in at a Chevy dealer, just insane.

[@southernfarmtech]

I can't believe someone traded that amazing machine in for a Buick Encore. Boy are they in for a big surprise.

[@joer1678]

You can’t fix stupid

[@erickisel8668]

It’s not a cream puff; scrape on bumper cover, driver seat is worn, clearcoat peeling. It’s a nice low mileage Lexus but it was exposed to the elements for some of its life. And yes, it will run forever if properly maintained. The mileage is almost too low, I worry about seals and gaskets. Good luck to the buyer, it’s a solid vehicle.

[@Michael-jj6pf]

Best car that was on your lot

[@adamp2384]

No offense to GM but why in the world would someone trade that in, that is one of the most reliable vehicles made? Did they just not like Lexus to get another one?

[@Nate-vf2js]

Could’ve been somebody vehicle that died and I just wanted to sell it but yeah that’s a top notch vehicle

[@Nate-vf2js]

I had to be a millennium. That didn’t want that car.

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Just looked and found that the customer traded it in for a 2022 Buick Encore GX that we had.

[@dougbriggs4176]

@@DaveBsellsChevy, did you have to cut him a check for the difference 😂

[@jbd2462]

That Lexus will outlive his 22 Buick for sure!

[@janejustice859]

It's a great car. That particular model is considered one of the most reliable.

[@SunnynPhilly]

Scotty Kilmer HIGHLY approves of this video! 👍

[@calebc8]

Talk about a lot of features for a 16 year old car! I had no idea how advanced Lexus was back in the day.

[@rickm8456]

Yeah I almost jumped on that after I saw the video. My RAV4 2010 V6 has the same 2GR-FE engine. I’m at 190k miles and shows no signs of slowing down. That engine is legendary and sought after today, with Toyota no longer doing V6’s.. That Lexus has years and years of life.

[@jbklyn9657]

It was torture for me watching this video, because it was me that turned down this vehicle that you hear Dave talk about. When I originally saw this car in Dave's previous video, that car caught my eye that I had to get it and find out if it was still available. That car would have been perfect for me if I already didn't have a car. But I am in the process of looking for a car for my daughter, I thought she would have the same reaction as me. Someone that is older may have a different reaction to that vehicle than someone younger. I was looking at reliability first, the low mileage on the car, and the absolutely fantastic condition of the car. The low mileage just takes a big load off of my mind to whether this car was taken care of. With that kind of mileage, the car didn't even get a chance to be possibly abused, or that the person didn't maintain it. They basically never drove it, so I wanted something reliable for my daughter to get back and forth to college. Like Dave said that car can go so many miles into future, it only has 14,000 miles. Obviously over time the engine may never die, but obviously there is no guarantee over time you may need to do a couple of things to it that may pop up. But anyone purchasing that car knows what they are getting into. I have seen plenty of videos about those cars, plenty of them now have hundreds of thousands of miles. I will admit that by the end of that day I may have been thinking about more about me driving that car every day, than picturing my daughter driving it everyday. We were looking for smaller sized cars, so that was basically a big part of turning down this car. Even though it was torture for me watching this video, I also had my daughter watch this video. She kind of felt bad about turning it down because she knows I was trying to get her a car that she definitely now thinks is very good. Dave making this video was overall a good experience for us because she was listening to Dave referencing someone's daughter anonymously the whole time knowing it was her he was referencing. That was definitely a crazy morning, but I already went around to my friends telling them the story first, then showing them the video. Its definitely a video I can reference to & have some fun talking about for years to come. Thanks Dave for all your help.

[@DevineLoved]

smh

[@lesterpenner8786]

I have 2 Lexus just like it but only afew years newer. Same body style. The most reliable vehicles iv ever had. Lexus designs very awsome cars.👍

[@davidlin1227]

For everyone wondering it’s on their website for 12,577

[@zfunk9]

It’s still a 16 year old car. One problem could be that cars do like to be driven. If not, seals and such could dry out and could be a lot of repairs to keep fixing leaks and dried out hoses, gasket, etc. Also will probably need every single fluid replaced, guessing they are all 16 year old fluids in it.

[@IKhanNot]

Exactly. Driving a car is the best thing you can do for it. Fluids are not just for lubricating internals. They help keep the seals from drying out. In reality a rural or highway driven higher mileage vehicle will almost always be better because it was operated under moderate low stress use.

[@joer1678]

Even if you had to spend two to three thousand dollars to do the fluids and gaskets it’s well worth it. Odds are with it being one owner they have done service to it during their ownership

[@gardeningismypassion8262]

If I lived within 100 miles of you, I would buy that in a heartbeat!

[@martinperez2346]

I have one 2008 280,568 millas original engine and tranmission and still drives very nice the only concern is the damage in the driver seat is no way to get damage like that with those low millas don't make sense to me they need to make sure is the right miles for my opinion has i lot more then that

[@maxvel7157]

Ouch 😳.. trading in a 2008 Lexus ES 3.5 V6 for a 2022 Buick Encore ? That hurts 🤕

[@JoeyDiPar]

Man, what a great buy for someone. Does not get much better

[@cmk325i]

Most Impressive part of the car is the center console opening engineering

[@richardepstein3494]

Crazy to trade in at a Chevy dealer! At least it's NOT a Stellantis dealer!!

[@dave1956]

I recently sold my 2007 Hyundai Sonata that was my wife’s car. We bought it new, it looked nearly as good as this even though it had 120,000 miles on it. It needed nothing, everything worked. I sold it for $5,000 which was probably less than it was worth but I could no longer garage it. I enjoyed every second with this car for the 17 years that we owned it. I would have rather sold my 2018 Honda CR-V, but that didn’t feel like a practical decision. I would say that this Lexus should easily be worth $12-14,000.

[@Miami543210]

Watching your videos really make me question my career choice. I am seriously considering talking to my local Schumacher dealership. We have several here in the Palm Beach Florida area and I have leased several cars from them. And I have always been very happy each time. The attributes, you speak of at your dealership certainly apply to Schumacher Volkswagen down here in Florida.

[@rileypart1]

Only problem with that generation Lexus ES was dash board will be sticky if it’s was expose to sunny all time. Not just that model was also affected but Toyota Sienna, Camry and Lexus RX too that issue.

[@jessetherrien7851]

Man, that's a great looking car for the age. Hopefully whoever buys it takes good care of it.

[@Miami543210]

That is not a good car for a teenager. It will get used and abused. That is a car for somebody who will appreciate it and take care of it and not use it as a daily driver.

[@elbeno9304]

Exactly

[@sethbeske268]

My Avalon has the V6 2014 only 31000 miles. It is a fun car to drive those V6 cars are so fun to had they moved on from those V6 engines.

[@VILSONDUSEVIC]

That car has more than 14000 miles. I have the same car with 146000 miles and the paint, leather, trim is in perfect condition.

[@elbeno9304]

Your comment makes no sense at all. You can’t say that just because how it looks smh

[@tonyclark3855]

I agree!! No way in h**l the front seat gets worn like it is in 14000 miles!! No way!! And the paint would not be damaged like it is either!! Just saying!! Have a great day!!

[@TheFlair16]

I have watched all your videos and truly love them. You are so knowledgeable about your product and if I lived a little closer, I would buy from you. I have owned or leased 4 equinoxes a trailblazer and now a Traxx. I love the Traxx!!!! Looking forward to your next video Chris

[@jaygunter3828]

Nice car. Kinda odd the driver seat bolster side has that much wear

[@THEPAPASMURFTHEOG]

nice looking Lexus.. I like the color too. whoever buys it, will have a reliable car for many years!! thanks for sharing dave b!!

[@EmmysCoolVids123]

Gorgeous color

[@cg8005]

Cool car…had a 2007. That color totally looks pink in person. Mine was low-mileage as well until I dumped it in 2017. It’ll probably need axle seals after sitting so much. The next generation was assembled in Kentucky starting in 2016 (my next es350) and it’s definitely not as well assembled as my 2007. There’s also an aux input for older phones with headphone jacks under the armrest.

[@RyanDoonan]

This is an amazing Lexus everytime we get a Lexus in on our lot absolutely love it and hard to not keep my hands off of them big time Lexus fan

[@leeketner6488]

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO RE - CONDITION THIS CAR AND TURN BACK THE ODOMETER ?

[@drift6785]

Unbelievable this Lexus is literally brand new. The manuals were more worn out than the car 😂😂. Es are tanks. Very smooth rides and pretty well equipped for a car back then. If you get a 2012 or newer they use regular octane. Amazing vehicles

[@davidlusk4350]

😂😊 My 2017 camry xle i bought new has 208k on it looks and runs like new. Oil changes which are free 4 sets of tires , first set of front brakes last summer and 1 coolant flush is all i paid for service. Everything else is stock, id jump in it and drive across the country in it without any worrying. Boring machines yota and lexus make phenomenally well built across the board. Well that was before hybridization of trucks.....

[@danny1103]

Wonder if the tires are from 2008 or have been replaced with latest years prior to the current pending sale; and wonder what was the maintenance history be like (Doubt if original owner had oil change every 6 months with that ultra low mileage).

[@robertclubs9908]

Awesome car.

[@FleaMarketJohn]

That vehicle is a bargain no matter what you sell it for

[@Miami543210]

It probably rides like a brand new Lexus. Because that’s what it is. It may not handle like a 2024 Lexus, but you can bet it’s going to ride just a soft and quiet.

[@adamstuhlmiller3385]

What’s the price of the Lexus? Considering minimal miles and 16 years old.

[@Cris-ry7ut]

I saw the car fax it failed the inspection once so what would be the reason to fail if it was in good condition. I’m interested if it’s a actual good car

[@nealwhite1474]

I'm surprised it took that long to sell that car. I watched your vid yesterday and thought "that car will be gone in mins." I'm also shocked that your dealership wasn't asking more just on the mileage alone.

[@jamespn]

It would be interesting what it traded for and how much it sold for.

[@dwsherm1]

Not a cream puff. I have an 05 rx330 with 94k miles in much better condition. Those seats show a good bit of wear and the undercarriage has some rust. At 14k miles those seats should look nearly new.

[@Edvard7777]

Yeah the wear on the drivers seat is very strange for a car with only 14k miles.

[@leeketner6488]

My bad , its 16 years old ! It's such a CREAM PUFF , they will NOT even give a 30 day warrenty ! ! !

[@ifeanyichukwuazaka5641]

I’d be nervous driving over the camera like that lol

[@Miami543210]

I want that car. But by now, I’m sure it’s already gone. I think I would fly from Miami to Newark just to pick it up.

[@antoniocognato5023]

For sale?

[@randyelo5910]

what is/was the selling price?

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

It was $12,577

[@kennethbode2017]

great car

[@garymiller1977]

That is in amazing condition

[@bigrig9749]

14k miles?!?! Practically brand new mileage 😮

[@leeketner6488]

EVEN CHURCH GOING GRANDMA , THERE WOULD BE MORE MILES ON THAT CAR ! ! ! 2008 - 2024 = 24 YEARS OLD !

[@ifeanyichukwuazaka5641]

This cars top notch 👌🏻

[@dodgedemon840]

I had a 96 ES300,that car rode as good or better then my Cadillac 2001 Cadillac I had

[@pauli6043]

That is a lot of wear on the driver's seat bolster for 14k miles. I have a 2008 Lexus SC430 with 38k miles in Ecru (very light tan) and there is no wear, seat is perfect

I will take it

[@ericd.4460]

There is solid cloud-cover and no sun in this video, so what was with the obnoxious sun glasses?

That's just broke in miles on a Toyota drive train I wish I was closer and had the money they do come along like this rarely

[@rileypart1]

No gunna lie, my landlord his sister in law was selling her 2009 Lexus ES 350 with 175k miles for $5k to me. I didn’t accept their offer yet lol 😅

[@BeCoShooter]

Gotta go, food truck's here.

[@chrisreynolds-s9s]

This car has alot more than 14,000 miles. I own the exact car with 140k miles & my interior & exterior looks 500% better than this one. No worn out seats, etc.

[@patricklee7888]

The paint like that tells me it wasn’t garaged

[@bryand7679]

I want it

[@Milly81728]

Creampuff x 2!

I vote cream puff.

[@9lifes979]

Lex us buy this car . I’m coming now.

[@ernielaw]

In spite of the condition I would never buy a Lexus or Toyota.

[@juniormeyer27]

Somebody traded it in because they wanted CarPlay. Idiots.

[@petermarrone4138]

It’s a cream puff

[@alexdoesntsurf]

That was priced WAY too low. It could have easily gone for $20k+

[@elbeno9304]

No it would not. It’s too old and have worn spots on it

Sensor is for all tires including spare. $750-$850 through Lexus. That is what has to be done! Nice, but the absolutely worst color on the vehicle. Pink! Unreal. There are suckers born every minute however if they overlook the color..

[@BobThe9534]

doesn't actually cost $750 to replace all 5 sensors though. u can buy oem sensors online and the tpms programming tool for a good deal and it wouldn't even cost u $750, lol

[@DS-mz7dy]

So many nice features, so really nothing new in cars/trucks in 20 years, just the way it's presented. The only real change is the propulsion, combustion vs. EV

[@spazzman90]

I dunno, I kinda like my heated steering wheel, surround camera, blind spot monitoring, everything keyless, pano roof, adaptive cruise, car play, rear cross traffic monitoring, remote start, LED headlights........

[@thomasbordi8726]

I it was anything but a Toyota product I would have been all over it the problem is I am not the typical American, I don't forget any thats time was Toyota and lexas was involved witha California police officers who family was killed in one of those. So not for me!!!😢
