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.
Some people just don't know or appreciate what they have. I drive by a house nearby that has/had a clean and pristine black one in their driveway for years.. recently it looks like they may have traded it off for a new VW Jetta as I don't see the Lexus anymore.. lol.. some people. @Wild1KY
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?
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.
Absolute CLOWN 🤡 post ✅ mine has 235k miles on & it runs & drives like BRAND NEW! Show me a Ford Taurus or Chevy Malibu from this time & show me how it runs,,, oh that’s right! U can’t!!! Why people like u come on here & comment about something as silly as a “scratch” shows me u know NOTHING about “cars” aka “mechanical” things,,, this thing is the BEST running car I’ve ever owned! For reference, I’ve had Cadillac, Mercedes (JUNK) BMW (JUNK) yeah they look good, but they won’t start on Monday!!! It’s an absolute JOKE how these brands pass as a “reliable vehicle”,,, this Lexus Has stood the Test of TIME!!!! PERIOD 🚪 Do better before you post something like that again,,,, 🤷♂️
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Is it true that if a car has been sitting idle for an extended period, its engine seals and gaskets can become hardened and brittle over time? If the car is then driven more frequently or even used daily after being inactive for a long period, could those seals and gaskets fail more easily, potentially leading to oil leaks? This car had been idling for 17 years...
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.
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.
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!!
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).
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
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
😂😊 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.....
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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..
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
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!!!😢
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
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........
I got one with 235K miles on it & run & drives like the day i got it NEW!!! This is one IMMACULATE Car! Whoever is looking for a GREAT car, this is IT!!! Just put new brakes & rotors on it, I mean Like Butter 🧈 👌
I can't believe someone traded that amazing machine in for a Buick Encore. Boy are they in for a big surprise.
You can’t fix stupid
Best car that was on your lot
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.
Agreed 💯I got one with 235k on it, runs & drives like Butter 🧈 ✅ Lol 😆 what a CLOWN to trade that car in!!!
Some people just don't know or appreciate what they have.
I drive by a house nearby that has/had a clean and pristine black one in their driveway for years.. recently it looks like they may have traded it off for a new VW Jetta as I don't see the Lexus anymore.. lol.. some people.
@Wild1KY
Talk about a lot of features for a 16 year old car! I had no idea how advanced Lexus was back in the day.
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?
Could’ve been somebody vehicle that died and I just wanted to sell it but yeah that’s a top notch vehicle
I had to be a millennium. That didn’t want that car.
Just looked and found that the customer traded it in for a 2022 Buick Encore GX that we had.
@@DaveBsellsChevy, did you have to cut him a check for the difference 😂
That Lexus will outlive his 22 Buick for sure!
It's a great car. That particular model is considered one of the most reliable.
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.

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

smh
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.👍
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.
Toyota no longer makes V6 engines?
You didn’t mention how well made Lexus makes their cars. They really do make flawless cars
Scotty Kilmer HIGHLY approves of this video! 👍
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
Man, what a great buy for someone. Does not get much better
Ouch 😳.. trading in a 2008 Lexus ES 3.5 V6 for a 2022 Buick Encore ? That hurts 🤕
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.

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

nice looking Lexus.. I like the color too. whoever buys it, will have a reliable car for many years!! thanks for sharing dave b!!
Most Impressive part of the car is the center console opening engineering
Nice car. Kinda odd the driver seat bolster side has that much wear
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO RE - CONDITION THIS CAR AND TURN BACK THE ODOMETER ?
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
Crazy to trade in at a Chevy dealer! At least it's NOT a Stellantis dealer!!
Man, that's a great looking car for the age. Hopefully whoever buys it takes good care of it.
Awesome car.
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.

Gorgeous color
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.

That car has more than 14000 miles. I have the same car with 146000 miles and the paint, leather, trim is in perfect condition.
Your comment makes no sense at all. You can’t say that just because how it looks smh
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!!

It would be interesting what it traded for and how much it sold for.
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.
What’s the price of the Lexus? Considering minimal miles and 16 years old.
Is that color periwinkle?
A cassette player? Wow
What's the price?
great car
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.
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.
How much Is it selling for?
For sale?
what is/was the selling price?
It was $12,577
I am buying this car next month.
This cars top notch 👌🏻
That vehicle is a bargain no matter what you sell it for
I have an 08 and I use the cassette deck.
That is in amazing condition
There is solid cloud-cover and no sun in this video, so what was with the obnoxious sun glasses?
My baby blues are sensitive to light. Ironically the white cloudy days can be worse than a blue sky sunny day.
how much did you guys sell it for
$12,577
Yes it is a creampuff for sure!
I had a 96 ES300,that car rode as good or better then my Cadillac 2001 Cadillac I had
I’d be nervous driving over the camera like that lol
14k miles?!?! Practically brand new mileage 😮
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.
Exactly
My bad , its 16 years old ! It's such a CREAM PUFF , they will NOT even give a 30 day warrenty ! ! !
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.
Yeah the wear on the drivers seat is very strange for a car with only 14k miles.
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
Travel Nurse here: i couldn't help but look at your arms 😂😂😂 wouldn't be hard to get a iv started on you😂😂
lol
I will take it
The paint like that tells me it wasn’t garaged
I want it
I have 2012 with 44k in pearl white
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 😅
EVEN CHURCH GOING GRANDMA , THERE WOULD BE MORE MILES ON THAT CAR ! ! ! 2008 - 2024 = 24 YEARS OLD !
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
Creampuff x 2!
Gotta go, food truck's here.
this video makes me want to go buy a lexus and not a chevy anymore
I vote cream puff.
Somebody traded it in because they wanted CarPlay. Idiots.
That was priced WAY too low. It could have easily gone for $20k+
No it would not. It’s too old and have worn spots on it
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.
Hope those are not city miles, lol.
Lex us buy this car . I’m coming now.
It’s a cream puff
By the way most people have not been born yet 😮
Corn pop
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..
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
In spite of the condition I would never buy a Lexus or Toyota.
So funny that Lexus infotainment got uglier with recent years.
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!!!😢
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
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........
One of the greastest cars ever made.
I am a boomer but would not be interested in that Lexus! Clean but boring!
🤔 cream puff only democrats are called that 🫠but Dave B that car is 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Better to be a cream puff then a spineless coward!
You just couldn’t resist
I got one with 235K miles on it & run & drives like the day i got it NEW!!! This is one IMMACULATE Car! Whoever is looking for a GREAT car, this is IT!!! Just put new brakes & rotors on it, I mean Like Butter 🧈 👌
EVEN CHURCH GOING GRANDMA , THERE WOULD BE MORE MILES ON THAT CAR ! ! ! 2008 - 2024 = 24 YEARS OLD !
