7 year review on my 2009 Lexus ES 350

[@TheRKHCollection]

The reason why this video ends randomly without a proper outro is that I originally had a driving portion of this 7 year review video. It was a 14 minute video and I uploaded it and for some reason, KZbin kept copyrighting it. There was literally no music or anything that could possibly cause copyright. I deleted it and reuploaded it 3 times and it kept getting copyrighted every time. I seriously have absolutely no idea why. I filmed the video like I have for the past 8 years I’ve been making KZbin videos and not once has that ever happened to me. So finally, I took the driving portion off and just uploaded the first half of the video as the 7 year review. It didn’t get copyright after I did that so there is something during the driving portion that caused copyright for some reason and I have absolutely no idea why. I plan on still uploading the driving portion as a separate video. It messed the whole thing up because now they’ll just look like sloppy videos because it was supposed to be all in one video. I apologize for that and I plan on doing an updated full tour/review of the ES along with the other vehicles in the family fleet as well. Obviously the last time I did a full tour and review on them was 7-8 years ago when we got them and obviously my KZbin skills were on the cringier side back then so I definitely need to make updated and more “professional” full tours on all the cars. Thank you all who continue to watch my videos!

Could you go into a little more detail of what happened?

[@bstoker9468]

Just watched the 5 year one and I just got a 2008 es350 and love it!

[@TheRKHCollection]

That’s awesome! Congratulations!

[@coyfrancis]

Thank you for that review because I got one myself and I love it so much I even upgraded it with a brand new look

[@natlovell122]

Appreciate the video and you sharing your es. I’m looking at getting an ‘07-‘09 es or rx but haven’t decided between one or the other yet.

[@bluwng]

It looks so nice.

[@lanceguinn9807]

Nice video.... l just purchased the same car a month ago... '11 ES350 Matador Red with White leather interior... I've put 3M 20% tint, first car I've ever put tint on but with the white leather it just cried old lady... lol the ride is bar none in my opinion... seats as you've said are super comfy and ride is absolutely fantastic!! And I've owned 2 Avalons 3 Volvos and a Mercedes... Mine has 135K on it... I recently sold a '20 Avalon Hybrid Limited because I really don't like all the new technology... I'm 52... and I put 55k on that car in 2.5 years. Only thing I will truly miss is the blind spot indicator and the JBL stereo... literally the best stereo I've ever heard in a car... trying to figure out a way to plug a JBL system in this car, maybe some day??

[@TheRKHCollection]

That’s awesome! The red is definitely the best color in my opinion and 135k miles isn’t bad at all. It’ll easily last another 135k and more. Understandable about newer car technology. I’m surprised that they don’t come with blind spot monitoring in the facelifted 5th gen ES’s (2010-2012). Also, I’m sure you can find an aftermarket stereo that’s just as good or even better than your other one. I like the one in mine.

[@lanceguinn9807]

I think with these V6's if a person keeps the RPM's below 3500 for most of its life and stay on top of oil changes and plugs and runs mid grade fuel... should get close to half million miles in my opinion.... these years don't have VVTi issues and have the best transmission in the ES line up!! I drive Semi for work and our new shop mechanic started talking about this 3.5 motor and didn't even realized I owned one!! lol He said all the interior parts are Forged!!! The crank, cams and Pistons..... It will be interesting to see what numbers come up on the odometers in the future!?! I spotted one in a gas station and the car was obviously neglected to an extreme.... driven by a 19 year old and it had just under 240k on it and after visiting for a minute he said it runs strong and has no check engine light... lol I wouldn't of gave 1500.00 for it.... unless I was sponsored to do a demolition derby! ;-) @@TheRKHCollection

If your TPMS blinks and then solid, it just needs replacing (battery dead) or reset. It's just annoying and doesn't need to be replaced if you don't mind it annoying you. I also own a 2009 ES 350...85,000 miles.😊❤

[@TheRKHCollection]

I don’t really care anymore after 7 and a half years of it blinking at me 🤣. And damn 85,000 miles isn’t even breaking it in yet!

[@lovefaith1714]

​@@TheRKHCollectioni fixed mine with black electrical tape Covered it right up

[@nessphoenix4470]

The low tire monitor has to be reset. Thats all. But, nice vehicle!

[@davidnwokorocha2960]

@classicchrome you do auction it out for sale I love the rims and everything about the car,just let me know if you can . Thanks

[@TheRKHCollection]

@@davidnwokorocha2960 oh no I don’t plan on ever selling this car!

[@9lifes979]

Hello, first, your Lexus ES looks great... Congratulations Question: What size is your Apple Carplay infotenment system? Can you recommend me one? I also have a 2009 ES 350 that I just bought not too long ago. Thank you very much.

[@TheRKHCollection]

I’m not exactly sure what the exact size is. I think it’s probably like an 8 inch or something around there. I just got it from a place in town that sells stuff like that. If you look up “aftermarket infotainment systems for a 2009 Lexus ES350 with Apple CarPlay ”, I’m sure you’ll find a good one!

[@milly2x38]

I just got an 09 ES350. Where’d you get the rims?

[@TheRKHCollection]

I’m not sure what website it was because I got them for Christmas but if you just search chrome wheels for a Lexus es350 you should find them or some very similar to them.

[@tristandaniel7128]

What infotainment system is that ?

[@jamesbright5357]

It a censor in the rim of the tire if u put to much air in one tire censor will comes on

[@janisbinauhan9034]

hello, i have a 2008 es350 and for some reason my brake pedal feels a bit weird when I brake. I kinda have to press down a bit more further just to get the brakes apply. I was wondering if yours does the same thing. Thanks

[@jonadsumaculub9859]

Hello i have same experience also es350 2008. Still dont know y till now

[@TheRKHCollection]

So sorry for the extremely late response. I don’t always get notifications when someone comments for some reason. My brakes don’t really have that issue all that bad but after daily driving my RC350 for several months now, I do notice that a little bit more now when I drive my ES. It definitely takes more force on the pedal than my RC but it’s not too bad.

[@jonadsumaculub9859]

​@@TheRKHCollectionhow many miles do you have on your odometer? Did you replace your ATF accordingly?

[@TheRKHCollection]

@@jonadsumaculub9859 my odometer reading is just shy of 119,000. And no, I have not replaced my ATF. I haven’t been told to yet.

[@jamesthompson1259]

I’ve had to resurface my front rotors 3 times. They are not designed well and will develop chatter if you drive hilly terrain

[@betterbusinessbureau3056]

Just purchased my '09 es350 and my tire pressure light is on too. Must be a issue with all of them

[@TheRKHCollection]

It’s bizarre. Literally the day I test drove this car in 2016, it’s been on since then and it doesn’t even have the same wheels or tires as it did 7 years ago. I’ve just never bothered to have it checked or cleared

[@fozzir]

@@TheRKHCollection TPMS sucks, I just disable it so I don't have to look at the light. Good video btw.

[@omegaman7241]

what fuel do you put in it?

[@TheRKHCollection]

Premium

[@322wheelman]

Just watched the video. Car is beautiful…good luck. The TPMS is on because the spare tire in the trunk is low. Air it up & guarantee the light goes out.

[@TheRKHCollection]

Appreciate it! And yeah I’ll have to give that a try

[@stonecold9132]

Prefer a stock car always

[@Rafcinraphael]

How much is this car

[@TheRKHCollection]

I’m not selling mine but mine specifically values at around $11,500-$12,300. Depends on if you count my accessories to it. You can fine 5th generation ES’s in good shape for around $8,500-$11,000. You can find them as low as like $6,000 but it’ll have a ton of miles and won’t be in great condition

[@etherealwrld5617]

clean whip

Thank you!
