I bought a 2010 Lexus ES350 149000 miles Pros & Cons

[@maxpower9175]

What I notice from other owners is everyone who gets this car loves it, myself included, I bought my 2014 es 350 less than a week ago and it had 82k KM on or 50k Miles, it's a 10 year old car that drives like it was made yesterday.

[@BaldadonisMike2021]

Glad you like it ! I'm looking for a 2020 Lexus GX460 or maybe a Lexus RC 350 F-Sport for my newest car and videos..Enjoy that car it will last forever

[@RC-117]

I own a black 2010 ES 350 bought it with 114,000 miles and now has 161,000 miles. They put in some good effort when they were building these cars it drives like it’s brand new, the engine is so quiet you sometimes don’t even know the car is on and that’s what I like about having a car with high miles; drives like brand new I’m obsessed with my car. I love it so much.

I own a 2007 lexus ES350...and I am very happy with it. I got it with 96,000 miles and now it has about 130,000. Very reliable car. He hasn't let me down yet...although I had some minor faults. I think I'm the only one who has this model in Bosnia and it's a bit difficult to get parts. Greetings to all like-minded people and Lexus drivers!

I absolutely love my 2008 Lexus ES 350. It's interior is still till this day second to none! I have all black leather seats and cherry oak woodgrain all over the car even the steering wheel. The headlights move and adjust to the cars direction and always levels out the light for great night vision. Did I mention this option came standard on the 2008 Lexus ES 350? My wife has a 2020 Cadillac but my Lexus has almost as many options as hers does. This car drives so smooth and powerful. And did I mention it has over 260,000 miles on it?

I just bought a 2009 Es 350 and it appears to have a transmission leak. I took it back to the dealer and they had their mechanic fix it or so it appeared, only to find the same issue of leaking. I’m thinking just buying another very low mileage transmission. By the way, my Lexus ES 350 2009 only have 123,000 miles. The transmission shift smoothly but something is wrong because I can see the leaking, hear a rumbling, growling, vibration noise at 20 to 25 miles per hour. Give me some advice please.
