pro tip - leaving the mirror adjustment in L or R position; the mirrors will tilt down to the ground when you have the car in reverse. :)
Really? Gonna try that!
I figured that out on mine eventually 😂
oh nice. never knew
Proud Lexus owner here! and I can say that nothing beats the quality build and long term performance of my 2005 ES330!!! Amazing
I just turned 404 000 miles on my 2003 Lexus ES300. Routine maintenance. Drop transmission fluid every 80 000 miles. Including new water pump and radiator fluid. Change oil every 8000 miles. I put in half synthetic oil at 200 000 miles and full Synthetic at 300 000 miles. 0/20. Routine maintenance works. No engine pinging of any kind. Still Original transmission. I am shooting for 500,000 and it is parked right next to my 2023 lexus IS 350 F sport. Red with black interior. You gotta luv Lexus. Great cars
Thank u for the good tips!! What mileage did you change the power steering fluid & timing belt(or chain)?
I have 2008 es350 running 100,000 never changed those yet.
Every 80,000 I change the belts and fluid
This generation of ES has aged beautifully
Agreed! This 5th gen is better than the 6th & current 7th gen IMO. My grandma has a 2012 ES350 (final year of this gen) that she's had since new & has been flawless so far. I've driven the current 7th gen a few times & hate it compared to the 5th gen.
Yeah the one before this ugly and the one after is ugly asf. This one is actually pretty decent looking. A good commuter/highway cruiser. Im sure the others were smooth as well but I just can't drive an ugly vehicle lol
I have it with 250k miles without any problems and working like a beast, very reliable car.
How much would you sell it for if you had to?
Nice I have an 08 too. Any leaks of engine problems to look out for? Im at 140,000
as far as I know, It's currently worth around 4000$@@Lorenzo-wl5xt
I never had any leaks before, but with 250K miles I do have some minor leaks but it doesn't require any maintenance as these leaks are normal for a mileage like this and it doesn't affect anything@@yoo.ck.
@yoo.ck. my '07 ES350 is at 158k and I notice a bit of a sputtering that only
happens when the engine is cold during warm up, then runs smoothly after warm up which i looked up & is a coolant temperature sensor that relays to the computer to give more fuel when cold
I have 2007 es350 got from auction for 3k with 50k miles. Now at 95k miles still running perfect no issues.
Hi when did you buy es 350?
@@NoWorkNoEat I’ve had it for 2 1/2 years now
Being a fan of Lexus and car detailing you really did a great job and the video production was very nice also
Great video. I like how you touch everything.
Great relaxing review!
Now!!! This is a only used sedan to buy it!
Love mine! Super reliable.
Nicely done
You started the acceleration showing 2nd gear on dash, the computer starts take-offs from a complete stop @ 0 mph in 1st gear automatically, since it would never take off on any other gear that is not 1st. However, when you shifted it manually, since it was already showing (2nd gear) when you took off, the car when to 3rd gear, so it felt like a drop in torque due to the lower RPM, technically going from 1st to 3rd gear...This is normal, but if you're going manual shift, start at 1st. Regarding what you might be feeling with the pulsation on the steering wheel while breaking, it is 9 out of 10 (rotors needing resurfacing) for a lexus anyway, these cars are solid... This is usually just the front rotors. It is recommended to get new brake pads at the time of resurfacing the rotors, since the caliper is pushing pads that are already "grooved" on to the smooth disc if you resurface rotors and not change your pads. These vehicles at 180k miles need nothing but simple services usually.
THAT'S IT!!!!!! I'm buying one, plain and simple. I feel bad about the thought of trying to haggle with the fella. I can't find any faults.
These cars take you a long way
Can’t wait to see 👍
just bought a 2011 es350 hope it lasts for years to come
@@hello-yw8echow’s it been for you so far?
I own a 2009 Lexus ES350 and absolutely love it. It’s in a beautiful red color with black interior (pretty rare spec for the 5th gen). It also has extra wood trim around everything. Idk if the previous owner had it custom ordered like that or not. But since you liked the wood trim a lot, you’d love what’s on mine. If you’re curious about what I’m talking about, look at one of the videos on my channel of it. It looks great. Great video!
This lexus will outlast a brand new hyundai made in 2023 by hundred thousands of miles LOL"
One day... I buy used 08' Lexus ES350 sedan.
I have a 08 es with 115000 miles i bought new always garage keep only thing i change at 90 000 is the water pump and drive shaft no issue period alway keep it serviced i drove it from Los Angeles to Houston and back recently no issues period
Please review the one with navigation
The front brake rotors have a tendency to chatter if you do lots of severe downward travel
Posted may of 2024. I just inherited a 2007 es350 Lexus. I went to pick up car and was astounded to see four thousand one hundred miles on the odometer. I talked to the next door neighbor and found out it has sat unused for seventeen years in a garage. She drove the car some the first year but after that only once a year to have the oil changed. There was also a 2005 Lexus SUV with 42000 miles on it. My sister took the SUV. These were very unusual people that for 45 years bought at least four new cars a year. Some years as many as 6 new cars. They never went anywhere except to the grocery store or to a dealership to trade for a different new car. Never went to a restaurant one time in their marriage. They were famous among dealerships in a 100 mile range from their home. The state of Illinois investigated them and once tried to make them get a dealer license. Once he died it all stopped and was frozen in time in 2007. Strange.
Recently bought a 2009 with 223K miles on it.
Got a very good deal but it needs a little of bit work done on it to get it back in the pristine condition. It’s in the progress right now.
What did you pay for it if you don’t mind me asking? I’m looking at an 08. Has 280k miles but looks very well taken care of. Pretty sure I can get it for $3500. Normally I would stay away from a high mileage car like this one but it’s a Lexus lol
@@ambrooks5 Well, actually I reside in Saudi Arabia. Here I bought it for SAR 22K, which is roughly $5.9K and it still needs work to be done. By this equation, I don’t think you’d say it was a wise decisions. 🫠
Quiero comprar ese auto Lexus es 350 2008
Seen one on marketplace that has 252k on the dash it looks great though anything I should check for
Not that I’m aware of
We are looking at an 08 Lexus ES350 with 76k miles on it also a 10 Toyota Avalon limited with 101k
Can’t go wrong with either choice
I gave my 2015 Avalon to my daughter. Now I’m thinking to buy a used 2008 Lexus ES 350. It has 73,000 on Craigslist for $7000 that’s why I’m on here.
@@Teetoy4 that’s a great deal imo
Damn another long lasting car like the LS400 they both just keep on going like that damn pink bunny lol 😂 but yeah sweet ride still super young on miles too
If everyone changed their car's fluids these cars can easily last over 500,000 miles with the original engine and transmission.
I agree and my 407,000 mile now ES300 2003 is proof
100k mile change the serptine belt … replace all fluids … spark plugs
THE ES 350 WILLGET 30 TO 32 ON THE HIGHWAY 20 IN TOWN
Tengo una para vender 66 mil millas 12000
Did you ever change the transmission fluid?
Not my car. Not sure.
Nobody realized this was mark saylors car.
LOL next time don't have the drivers seat set way back when showing people the back seat leg room. That was funny.. and dang don't be so rough on the control buttons. Damn nice condition for an 08 with 180k
Does it have an aux cord connection and Bluetooth?
Aux, but don’t think bluetooth
you down shift with automatic shifter keep doing it and you wont have a working transmission no more
I have 2008 es 350 currently sitting at 144,000, no major repairs just the rotors and breaks...
Are you going to sell it? :3
Do anyone know when the struts should be changed? Mines at 148k miles. Auto shop wants $1700.
Might be about that time, and I suggest getting parts from rock auto or somewhere online because retail parts stores can be a bit more expensive to purchase from.
If there is no leak in the strut or the car still drive perfectly you don’t need to change the strut. You should only use Kyb part. I can do this for $1000 if you live anywhere close to North Carolina
Coil overs ❤️
If ur in north Florida ill do em for 100 each corner. Just buy the parts.
I have one for sale near me 205,000 miles 2008 5500. Is it worth the price?
😬😬😬 Not bad, depends on condition inside/out.
Anybody like the red accents? They look out-of-place to me.
Does this use a timing chain or timing belt?
Not sure
Timing chain

The back seat is roomy . . . if you don't have any legs. lol
He’s 6’2 lol
Does that 2008 ES350 have Bluetooth?
I don’t think so.
No.
Mine does. It has navigation too.
@@bobbyheenan4061how do you like your 08
@@RyanDoonan I LOVE it!!! Only 85,000 miles!!
Why do they have/need the engine covers? So you can pop open the hood and impress your friends? double lol
Yes and it also helps quiet the car down from the engine noise
@@deepee9601 Engine noise? Either your muffler's rusted out or your timing chain is loose. 😄
Negative it's a lexus dude 😆
I threw away all my engine covers on my 2007 es because it was annoying to check fluids with them on, I generally felt bad for the mechanics, and most of all I can hear that engine way more with them off
All those covers do is trap heat in lol
"Pre" owned.
8k 😂😂😂😂
Question , is it common for these to sway from the rear when going over bumps or road humps ?
I’m thinking mine has worn sway to the sides bar bushings or shot rear shocks 🤨
Probably just something needs to be repaired in suspension.
Gonna check and swap them swaybar bushings. I suspect they are the original ones on still .. lol
@@NothinButCarReviewsSounds like worn struts.
