My father had this exact year and model, and when he passed 6 years ago, he left it to my mom, who uses it as her daily driver. It only has about 75K miles on it, and it's been super reliable for her, and quite a joy to drive (i've driven it a few times). Real nice ride, and quite peppy off the line. In fact, it rivals the acceleration of my VW GTI VR6. This is one of the best cars ever made, from what mechanics have told me.
Thank you, this video was grossly mistitled. What a waste of time. This guy could yap a whole hostage situation to sleep talking about nothing of substance. 80% filler, 20% substance.

I know this is an old video, but I just purchased a 2008 with 105,000 miles for $8500. It’s pretty loaded with the navigation and rear window shade overall condition is a nine out of 10. The seller put new tires, brakes and struts all the way around, I love it!
I purchased the 2011 es350 back in 2019, for 11k with 90k. At that time I thought it was a great deal. I purchased it from a local dealer who serviced it after I agreed to purchase it . He replaced the front brakes and rotor along with the wheel bearing. Only doing maintenance stuff such as oil change and recently purchased new tires. Car currently has 108k, with today market, this car value has increased more than what I paid for it. Oh yeah, it an amazing car!!!!
Got a 2007 ES last week with 63k miles for $8100 with some negotiating. Lucked out with a 1 owner car driven by at older lady with low miles to boot. Very happy with the purchase thus far
I just Bought a 2008 es350, 172kmiles, paid 5,800 cash.. These cars and in these years were made in Japan and had a Extra high quality to them when built. They will run 300k easy.... 500+ if you get one in good good condition!
Their an amazing car...durable, luxurious, pretty good rid quality. Also the exterior is not too dated and gets noticed by most people for some reason. Not exactly for the lead-footed but can move when you need to on the highway
i just pulled the trigger on buying one of these only 100k miles and going froma 2013 accent to this is night and day difference. I didnt realize driving could be this relaxing and nice.
I would make 400 mile round trips regularly from houston to Dallas for the weekends to see family. Also a few long range trips. Other than regular maintenance (brakes, tires, battery ect) I had to replace an alternator, ignition switch , some ac work and a radiator these things went bad once I went over 215k. Everything else works fine all functions. I’m confident if I drove this car a lot less it be in even better shape but they hold up well. It is in the same condition as car in video they are well made reliable cars.
@@richardjohnson4065 I had a local mechanic that worked on it and I purchased my parts from auto part chains. I believe all of those repairs totaled under $2500, that is including replacing the evaporator (removing entire dashboard).

@Oddwolf 799 The price depends on the condition and owners. 80k miles one owner no accidents in good condition vs 80k 3 owners with 2 accidents. Price can vary
i just purchased a 08 ES350 a few days ago for $4000 with 232k miles. It drives like a brand new car and has amazing service records from Lexus & Toyota dealerships. I truly believe she will go well over 300K miles.
No engine problems & transmission ? I’m thinking of getting one 2008 With 140k miles for 5500$ great condition just the rims are messed up but the interior and paint are flawless . Mostly garage kept . I know Toyota’s makes reliable cars and don’t have crazy issues with engines & auto transmission.
I have the same car same color, 152,000 miles drives like new, love it, well made 6 cylinder very fast, I have owned the RX 350, I think Good value all around!
Appreciate your knowledge on what to look for, didn't think of some of those when purchasing my 2007 ES350 Premium Plus, 133k, $7300 a year ago. It's not perfect but drives/ runs great very reliable!
I got a 2010 today for $6,000 full oackage clean title I bought it coz it was a goood deal ima sell it for at least 8,000 is beautiful interior is complete
Do not get 2007, try to never buy a first model or first in the series, they usually como with troubles from factory! Even on a Lexus! They have a VVTI oil line failure due to a defective line from factory. It is fixable with a full metal one the Camry has! It costs 45 to 50 bucks!
Yeah I bought a 2010 for $5900 at a dealer sale. Had nav and back up cam Bluetooth etc. It had high miles 138k This was back in 2018. Now it was a little rough around the edges that I spent a few hundred touching up. Sold it for $7500 tp my aunt. She drives it stil and has 166k miles
MINE 2008 95750 ROOF paint peeling off. Mine is the one with the panoramic roof! Second had a rubber VVTI LINE prone to break and damage the engine had to replace it. The torque mount nor expensive or hard to change was cracked. Gas cap was leaking vapors, replaced it took it to the emissions testing passed like an angel! Runs super nice!
i had a 2007 and I hated the quality of materials inside the car. the dashboard was so bad, it fades and become extremely sticky to the point you can't clean it. steering wheel feels and look cheap. so do the door panels. it was worse built than my 1998 corolla
Wow, makes me feel like I got a steal then... 2007 ES350 with less than 90k miles, barely any wear & tear on any of the spots that he showed for $8,300..
I just bought a ES 350 2009 a year ago and that car drive like a bat out of hell Nice & Smooth I only use 93 high octane and it runs damn good I love it
The fuel grade doesn't nake a difference whatsoever. This isn't a Euro car with high compression engine, that will knock without high octane gas. You're throwing your money away, vut more power to you.
Yes the dealer will keep a key just in case you lose one. LOL !!!!! It's because when you miss a payment, the dealer can come to your house and repo the vehicle. And $10000 for a 08 is way to much. I can find a 2010 -2012 with less miles for less than 10k

If it is your first car got bad credit this a good choice, but it is a about 1500 overpriced, plus tax tag etc it could get to 11000 or more. I bought one for 10221, taxes tags all included. It has bad cv joint boots rubber. I got to change rear brakes in 5000, that's all. Drove it no problems some scratches like must 12 year cars. Interior is clean!
Is this a video about what to look for on a used car or if the es350 is still a good buy? Half way in the video it's still tips on what to look for in a used car.
I 46 now and wanted something a bit more luxurious but didn't want to pay those new luxury car prices. I just picked up a 2011 ES350 yesterday. I got it for a bit over 9k. My previous car was a 2006 Mazda 6S I got back in 2008.
This is a good looking ole es tho. Someone’s may pay a bit more for this car due to buy here pay here. BUT to this guys defense. This car will be running at 340k if they just keep oil changed. Long after they paid off that note. The damn keypads on steering wheel are intact. Can’t believe it. This was a garaged car. I do see a shit load of Lexus RX at auction and they are 90% cracked. All over passenger side. My lexus dealer says there is a lifetime recall on. But about a 2 yr wait list
My Toyota 4Runner has a cracked up dash. I keep meaning to go visit the local dealership to see if they will help me with getting a new dash. Other than that I love the car even tho I purchased it with over 200K at the store I currently work at.

I'm in Charleston and found the same car with 97,000 miles for $7,600. The key is to buy from an individual. This car is overpriced. Good review though!!
Hey Jeffrey! Thanks for checking out my review and its nice to see someone from the Charleston Area on here. Yes I would agree with you about buying from a individual to get a good price. As you may know we're offering in house financing at this store and we do put some money into the used cars we sell. Like getting them serviced and fixing things that may need repairing etc. Our store even will take vehicles to the paint store and have them repainted if they need it. Sounds like you found a nice ES350 with some good miles on it for a great price! Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you enjoyed my video. Chad
@@CarolinaCarVideos I bought a 2007 es350 top trim, 132k miles for $5800. But It already cost 1.5k to do the repair. I actually hope I bought it from dealer. I don't what else I need to pay to maintain the car. But I admit it's a great experience car, extremely quiet
Just swooped up a 2007 Lexus ES350 with 120k. It is flawless. Looks and drives brand new. And it doesn't have the old outdated infotainment system ID rather not have one from 07. Too much drama. I wish I had the mark l audio system but the lexus standard audio is decent and it even has a small subwoofer.
I’m 18 and I have 2008 Premium Plus model with 40k miles and regardless of what car we own our insurance rates are going to be high, until 21 then 25 that’s when they’ll start going down drastically.
@@LifeofZain okay yeah sorry I completely forgot that our insurance is stupid high until we turn like 25 and then slowly goes down. But thanks again for responding
@@1ShyAzn sadly I didn't get the car since someone got to it before me. It was a really good deal and low mileage. But I got a 2007 Honda Accord SE V6 which is pretty solid in my book
I guess anyone can judge for themselves, I bought a 2007 with 18,033 miles within the past six months for $14,750 - perfect condition except for a couple of bumper scratches. I'd tend to agree with Amandeep after shopping this car in California for at least 6 months.
Love this generation ES’s. If I had to do it over I would’ve bought a lower mileage ES350 like this one 2008/09. In April 2019 I bought a 2013 ES350 with only 30,009 miles. It now has just under 38k miles and only did one mobile one oil change. Best car ever owned. Lexus (Toyota) reliability and dependability is unparalleled! I bought mine for approx $17900. Yes It’s 5 years newer than an 08, but tbh those 5 years don’t mean much for a Lexus. I could’ve saved about $8k if I bought a ‘08 but as they say that’s water under the bridge. I’m happy with my 2013 ES350 and after it’s paid off I’ll be even MORE HAPPIER! For the most part I will not have to do anything but oil & fluid changes and tires and brakes. Lexus’s are bulletproof especially the 3.5 liter engine and 6 speed transmissions !
An 13 isn't the same platform as an 08 an 08 is on the camry the 13 is made on the avalon platform you can badge a 08 with camry and you can't tell the difference but a 13 looks nothing like the old gen it's a much bigger car than previous gen due to being built on the avalon chasis.
@@markcleveland5275 I’m aware. Turns out I sold my 13 for financial reasons and bought an even better 2002 ES300. One owner, maintained at a local Lexus dealership for nearly all of its mileage. Love this gen better. Solid and tight. Not a creek or rattle, everything still works. 4 new struts and it rides like new.
@@stephendibari5010 Awesome Steve I'm happy for you. I think the es is the bread butter for Lexus while the others are still great cars the es seems to lead the pack in the Lexus line up.
Hey Cheko, I'd probably say go with the Honda because its a newer model vehicle. Also parts for the Honda should be less money and you can use regular gas. Lexus usually takes premium fuel and gas prices are high currently. Hope that helps. Thanks, Chad
You're in luck! Just today I received an email from a Nigerian prince who said I am owed $2,000,000 USD. I should be collecting it soon just after I pay them the taxes upfront. After I get my $2,000,000 I can then pay to ship the car to you in Nigeria, no problem. It's the least I can do for all the nice Nigerians that email me every week.
these used car lots are highway robbery you pay half of what they payed for it up front then you pay way more than you should for a car save you money and pay cash for a car

😂
I just got 2012 es350 lexus with 77000 ,need your opinion
bought one yesterday 98k miles 6k
I want you ne find me a solid one rwd low miles I'm definitely buying one soon I'm looking at rx 350's too
I'm in Charleston and found the same car with 97,000 miles for $7,600. The key is to buy from an individual. This car is overpriced. Good review though!!
Hey Jeffrey! Thanks for checking out my review and its nice to see someone from the Charleston Area on here. Yes I would agree with you about buying from a individual to get a good price. As you may know we're offering in house financing at this store and we do put some money into the used cars we sell. Like getting them serviced and fixing things that may need repairing etc. Our store even will take vehicles to the paint store and have them repainted if they need it. Sounds like you found a nice ES350 with some good miles on it for a great price! Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you enjoyed my video. Chad
@@CarolinaCarVideos I bought a 2007 es350 top trim, 132k miles for $5800. But It already cost 1.5k to do the repair. I actually hope I bought it from dealer. I don't what else I need to pay to maintain the car. But I admit it's a great experience car, extremely quiet
2 years later this car is worth 10000 ,bc of inflation
no shit its more expensive at dealer, jesus linda you are a clever fucker arent you
Just swooped up a 2007 Lexus ES350 with 120k. It is flawless. Looks and drives brand new. And it doesn't have the old outdated infotainment system ID rather not have one from 07. Too much drama.
I wish I had the mark l audio system but the lexus standard audio is decent and it even has a small subwoofer.
Do you still have it? Any issues since purchase
I’m looking to buy one of these can someone tell me if it has bluetooth audio streaming?
The ones with navigation have bluetooth afaik
I recommend a 14,15,or a 16 if the 2016 is made in Japan. Some 2016’s are made in the U.S.A don’t buy them
Should a 19 year old drive one? Would his insurance be high also considering that he had his license for 2 years?
I’m 18 and I have 2008 Premium Plus model with 40k miles and regardless of what car we own our insurance rates are going to be high, until 21 then 25 that’s when they’ll start going down drastically.
I jus got a 07 couple weeks ago, go for it bruh
@@LifeofZain okay yeah sorry I completely forgot that our insurance is stupid high until we turn like 25 and then slowly goes down. But thanks again for responding
@@1ShyAzn sadly I didn't get the car since someone got to it before me. It was a really good deal and low mileage. But I got a 2007 Honda Accord SE V6 which is pretty solid in my book
That's too much for an 08 with over 140k miles
No its not. Its not even 1/4 of the way to its engine life
I guess anyone can judge for themselves, I bought a 2007 with 18,033 miles within the past six months for $14,750 - perfect condition except for a couple of bumper scratches. I'd tend to agree with Amandeep after shopping this car in California for at least 6 months.
@@bryanclark7608 how do you like your 2007? I am looking at a 2008 and oh the fence
I will give him prop for pay attention to details but he need to show the engine and test drive
Thank you !
Love this generation ES’s. If I had to do it over I would’ve bought a lower mileage ES350 like this one 2008/09.
In April 2019 I bought a 2013 ES350 with only 30,009 miles. It now has just under 38k miles and only did one mobile one oil change. Best car ever owned. Lexus (Toyota) reliability and dependability is unparalleled!
I bought mine for approx $17900. Yes It’s 5 years newer than an 08, but tbh those 5 years don’t mean much for a Lexus. I could’ve saved about $8k if I bought a ‘08 but as they say that’s water under the bridge. I’m happy with my 2013 ES350 and after it’s paid off I’ll be even MORE HAPPIER! For the most part I will not have to do anything but oil & fluid changes and tires and brakes. Lexus’s are bulletproof especially the 3.5 liter engine and 6 speed transmissions !
@Zach thanks !! I remind myself everyday of how amazing this ES350 is !! And it will be paid off in about 4 years !
An 13 isn't the same platform as an 08 an 08 is on the camry the 13 is made on the avalon platform you can badge a 08 with camry and you can't tell the difference but a 13 looks nothing like the old gen it's a much bigger car than previous gen due to being built on the avalon chasis.
@@markcleveland5275 I’m aware. Turns out I sold my 13 for financial reasons and bought an even better 2002 ES300. One owner, maintained at a local Lexus dealership for nearly all of its mileage. Love this gen better. Solid and tight. Not a creek or rattle, everything still works. 4 new struts and it rides like new.
@@stephendibari5010 Awesome Steve I'm happy for you. I think the es is the bread butter for Lexus while the others are still great cars the es seems to lead the pack in the Lexus line up.
I’m stuck between a 07 Lexus ES 350 155k miles and a 2014 Honda Accord 157k miles any help please
Hey Cheko, I'd probably say go with the Honda because its a newer model vehicle. Also parts for the Honda should be less money and you can use regular gas. Lexus usually takes premium fuel and gas prices are high currently. Hope that helps. Thanks, Chad
You can run regular gas, I do, np
Man I got 08 lexus es350 and it barely has 60000 mi and this thing is making me sweat in the drive thru anyone no why
Very helpful
Great video very informative i learned alot about checking for a used lexus
Ill save everyone 20 mins I got one these cars are the shit
Tengo uno 66000 millas 2008 base for sale
best car 🔥❤️
U can tell he on payroll from the buy here pay here place. Dam can I get honest review
At the end of the day, that Lexus needed some gas.
I would say pretty much any Toyota is a good buy regardless of what year it is
I'll do my cash and carry as an African man. Put the money aside judiciously over time, walk in and pick it up.
We know lexus is toyota solid dependable long trouble free life and much better then a nice camry
I need that but how possible to bring it to Nigeria, please I need response to know the next forward
You're in luck! Just today I received an email from a Nigerian prince who said I am owed $2,000,000 USD. I should be collecting it soon just after I pay them the taxes upfront. After I get my $2,000,000 I can then pay to ship the car to you in Nigeria, no problem. It's the least I can do for all the nice Nigerians that email me every week.
Beautiful car
This looks exactly like my moms white 2008 Lexus ES350.
The Avalon 2008 is the better buy more options . The Avalon limited is a huge bargain all them options it’s def a Lexus in Toyota clothing
@ 9min - what dealership keeps a key for a car they sold; only giving you 1 key. Shenanigans! Stay clear of this place!
10 years
Yes, most definitely!!
these used car lots are highway robbery you pay half of what they payed for it up front then you pay way more than you should for a car save you money and pay cash for a car
Are you going to talk about the car? Is minute 20 and you still talking about credit c’mon
How the fook is a consumer gonna trust a review made by the fookin salesman? What a fookin joke. Ya got ya wires crossed, Mate.
5 full minutes of BS and I STILL haven't gotten to the review. wtf, get to the F'ing point
Just annoying, that this model is not in the UK
I'd buy one without hesitation,....but I don't think it looks that good.....
