I completely agree with you saying that Lexus is boring compared to MB. Every time I start my Lexus, it is the same old thing. Fires right up and gets me where I'm going comfortably. How boring. Those Mercedes are so awesome. That exquisite, nervous feeling every time getting in. The smell of that German leather. That wondering if it will start and how much it will cost to fix when it doesn't. Exquisite.
#HILARIOUS!!!
Those are fantastic cars
Lol
I definitely agree with you! I love the reliability of my ES 350. I will take this car over Mercedes Benz and BMW every time.
HAHA, my next car will be a Lexus! No more German for me!
This ES generation was at the peak of Lexus quality. The 2002-2006 models were incredible.
Last April I sold My 2013 ES 350 after owning that for two years and bought a one owner 2002 ES 300 w. 161,000 miles. 4 new struts installed, replace the original alternator in air condition compressor, now the car rides again just came off the showroom floor. Certainly the best car I’ve ever owned fit and finish is unparalleled not a creek or rattle. Tight. Original owner serviced it at a local Lexus dealership since day one. Timing belt, water pump, and valve cover gasket replaced at 88,000 miles according to the Lexus owners website. I’ll be keeping this one for many many years. It’s quiet yes it could be boring but it’s super super reliable. When I retire in five years I’ll be buying a sports GT car a Lexus RC 350 FSport or a RCF. I’ll have the best of both worlds
@@stephendibari5010 why did you downgrade ?
@@diablocls55 to me I didn’t downgrade. The 4th Gen ES 2002-06 has the best build quality made in Japan model years. Now 20 years old and not one creak or rattle anywhere. Every button/switch still works. This week I’ll own it for one year and the car still amazes me on how much build quality there is especially the sound insulation. It’s so quiet anyone would think it’s an electric car.
I sold my 2013 ES350 for financial reasons. My monthly loan payment and insurance was too high
@@stephendibari5010 I see
That sounds like quite the plan!
It's supposed to be quiet, smooth and no drama, always ready to serve its master... And it exceeds.
This was pleasing to read, maybe I’m just high
@@antny5849 lol
A Lexus with 19,000 miles? For a Lexus that's like a week old.
Alex Cintas Exactly lol 😂 mine has 150,897 miles on it and still drives like butter
Would be my dream car ❤️
@@douglasdonatien7044 Yeah I've seen one over 400,000. Those things are like ford trucks. They just keep going
Douglas Donatien Facts bro I own a 2006 Lexus LS430 with over a 100,000 miles and drives brand new every time I drive 😎👍🏾
Scotty would be proud of y'all
Had mine for years and still feels like the first time every time I get in. Something special
Proud Lexus owner here and nothing beats the quality build and long term performance of my 05 ES 330!
@@zakmoon7065 I now have an 2017 Ls460 awd and it’s surpurb! Magic carpet ride!
The Lexus ES300, a masterpiece of Japanese engineering.
Most Lexus are...
Master Yoda it’s not really innovative car tho.
Elan Vyskocil That’s not what toyota is known for tho 💀
Its a gussied up Camry. I own one
Proud 330 owner here and nothing beats the amazing quality finish and long term performance of my Lexus
Proud Lexus owner here! and I can say that nothing beats the quality build and long term performance of my 2005 ES330!!! Amazing
why do you spam this same comment on every lexus video..
I bought a 2006 ES330 with 129k yesterday. Loving it so far!
Dannngggg, that's basically a brand new car!! It's a shame you don't like it.
Bro my dad had a ES 330 and then now I have it for college and it has 450k miles and it runs like brand new, every now and then I try to red line the engine and it does it just fine you can't beat Toyota or Lexus they're bulletproof
You lucky bastard.
Lol why tho
Airitlis because you have a car that has lasted 450,000 miles and won’t stop anytime soon
Airitlis don’t redline it 😡
That's a deal it seems like this guy just doesn't understand the good car when he sees it
Have someone passed down their flawless car such as this one to me, I would have been beyond grateful and completely shocked. Such a beauty especially for its age!
6:29 "You can tell this is built by people who have to jump out of windows if they get it wrong" 😂 Absolutely Savage
nothing could've prepared me for how hilarious this entire review was.
Nice car I have a 2002 es with 250,000 miles runs great still!
I like how Bill knocks the car, yet at the very same time praising it seamlessly. That takes a lot of skill.
Gotta love Lexus’ attention to detail, gotta also love the slightly camp, rich voiced commentary. Really like this video.
When I first bought my ES300, there were a few times where I either shifted the transmission or cranked the engine because either A: I didn't turn it on or B: I didn't know it was on because the cabin was so quiet. I learned to love the quiet cabin eventually as when I sit in a non-luxurious car, the cabin is crazy loud by comparison.
Probably the best car sales video on YT...
I picked up a 2007 ES350 with 18,033 miles three weeks ago. Complete with old people classical worship music in the CD player. You're not wrong about falling asleep at the wheel as a possibility! But boy is it nice, and it's ready to give me 300,000 comfortable miles in the next 7 years for $15,000 on a car that cost $54,000 in today's money before taxes.
Congrats! I bought a 08 es350 w 52K for $8900. Do u plan on modding yours?
@@MrWzeljunior that's a fantastic deal nice buy, I might have went for that if I found a deal like that, I was originally looking at cars in the 75-125 range for 7500-8500. Only mods so far are a spare key and a bluetooth system that's ready to be installed :-) It doesn't really seem like a car I will mess with. I could see doing the suspension to make it less of an old grandma on the road.
A family member of mine bought an 07 ES350 with 78k miles for 10k.
I don’t think a nun would drive a car with such opulent luxury. Nuns subject themselves to a life of simplicity, quite the opposite of this opulent lush luxurious pampering car
Yeah a nun would probably be driving something like a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic sedan
What kind Women are Priests interested in? Nun.......
Jeff polara Wow lol
nuns are hypocrites, and the pope just have a city for himself
German Boy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ugh that is so beautiful! 19k miles! that must drive like an absolute dream!
Lexus are the best built cars; exceptional quality and craftsmanship
"You can tell that no 300 pounder has been gettin in this seat!" 😂😂
I also love the fact that he thought of a switchblade to put in the little compartment near the steering wheel 😂
Build quality and materials seem so much better than the brand new ES 😌
I prefer that a little bit over today Lexus. Elegant design instead of the giant front grill.
I absolutely hate that new ugly grille
The design of this was just perfect , it doesn’t look outdated still to this day
I have a 2002 Lexus ES300, bought with 96,000 miles on it now it has over 200,000 and it's running just as good as it did when I bought it, of course I do all of my own maintenance and repairs on it. I love my Lexus ES300. ❤️ One of the most well built reliable cars ever made. IMO ❤️
what repairs is required?
your commentary style is amazing 😂😂😂...subbed.
When I was a Lexus salesman my friend was a sales manager at Toyota. He said the ES was just a Camry with Lexus badges. We started to debate it when he said if you can prove it is worth the $5000 plus difference, I will buy you lunch at, (expensive restaurant) So I brought him the Lexus, two page, list of upgrades and he was shocked. As he looked at it, he said, "This looks like more like $9000 worth of upgrades!", and we went to lunch on him.
Lance2773 haha great story. I love these Lexus they truly are much more luxurious in every way than Camry.
Lance2773 😎
@Jonathan McCully I used to own an '04 XLE V6 many moons back. Several years later, I was in the market for another car and bought an '02 ES300 this year. While the mechanical aspects of the vehicle are mostly just "Camry parts inside a Lexus," the interior of the Lexus is noticeably of higher quality than the Camry I owned (ex: the leather is real leather, the wood finish is real wood, the cabin is much quieter, the sound system is much better, etc.). Having owned an XLE V6, I thought I had the best of the best. Still love Toyota's, but my goodness, I love my Lexus!
Your enthusiasm certainly comes through Bill ..actually you gave me a new love for my old beater ..it seems to have everything you aspire to,..
That's a damn gem there!
Scotty wife has one
I think hers is a 2002-03.
Hers is a an ES-300
I've owned 12 new cars. This is the only car I have ever loved. I have this same 2005 car, same color, same wheels. It has 270,000 miles and I drive it just like the day I bought it in 2008. My first major service was at 160K and I have only spent $250 a year on general/required maintenance. I drove from Miami to South Dakota last year, much of the speed limit was between 70 and 85mph. This car runs 3000rpm @ 90mph...
I plan on getting one of these next year when my son turns 16 and inherits my 2005 Honda. You can't get a better value than one of these. One of the most reliable cars ever made.
Super quiet and smooth but yes, not exciting to drive at all. But there are plenty of people who could care less how "exciting" their car is
I like a sports car, Ive had a couple s2ks. But I also like a quiet ride when I'm out with the family.
Yes that is true, I just eventually want to get a ES-300 or ES-330 next year As a second car. I would rather chose smooth luxury car than a fast uncomfortable sports car to be honest to keep me out of trouble haha.

I get excited when i do not feel the rough roads, i get excited as i glide at 80mph on interstste
This guy is pretty good at holding one's interest with the mock-critical approach to Lexus quality
nice neighborhood for realz, noticed that car would fit in nicely among all the other luxorides, great job you have there Mr. Bill!
I have the same car - My senior citizen father gave it to me, and now people think I'm a grandpa.
Who cares what people think. Its a beautiful car.
You are a lucky dude
The upgraded grill and and taillights on these made these soo beautiful the same as the 08 through 2010.
Great video, i think i lucked up with getting an 04 ES in prestine condition with 167,000 mi that was garage kept,one owner and no major repairs for $4500. As scotty would say it drives like a dream.
Great sense of humor 😂😂 good review
I have a 2008 ES (Next generation), this car has been the BEST CAR I have ever owned. Zero major issues at 165k miles, also has never had a major issue. The big initial pricetag truly shows it's worth in mechanical savings, buying one used is a no brainier. If you want something sporty, go for the 2013+ ES. Has the tried and true 3.5 V6, and the 6 Speed Auto until 2018. If you want smooth, comfortable, and reliability. Any of them will do.
Beautiful car. I have an ES300 with 170k and it runs like a dream. Not a super fun car but it’s got some pep and it’s super reliable and comfortable.
One of the best cars I’ve owned
I have an '05 ES. Bought it used 4 years ago. It's been a decent car and I do not regret buying it. I prefer the styling of the '05 compared to the new ES. I think Lexus is attempting to attract younger buyers with their over the top styling. Guess if I want another Lexus I will need to get an older model. Those massive grills and all the crazy technology do not appeal to me.
So much more reliable than the German Mercedes or BMW, just a smooth tight vehicle.
I own a '05 ES330 along with a '09 Avalon. We usually take the Avalon on long trips since it has more interior space. I never really thought about it until watching this. I love my Lexus but it could put me to sleep on the interstate. It is much quieter than the Avalon.
I have this exact same car, first thing i noticed is that your windshield wipers are in the "change wipers position" that means someone has pulled them up (click in that position) the normal position is that they are almost hidden under the bonnet not obstructing view
Being a Lexus its gone keep working forever this guy is funny & he wasn’t even trying to be funny😂
That is a beautiful city really like the homes
Great review
Great cars. Well made. Comfortable. Plenty of power. Reliable. Resale value when properly cared for. High quality Toyota parts throughout. Absolutely sexy fine.
My 2004 ES330 has 251K and counting!!!!
You made me "belly Laugh" I love your reviews and especially your humour.
Last April I sold my 2013 ES 350 after owning it for two trouble free years (not one issue) and bought a one owner 2002 ES 300 with 161,000 miles. Serviced at a local Lexus dealership from day one, water pump, timing belt and valve cover gasket all replaced at 88,000 miles according to Lexus owners website. Last summer I replaced all four struts because the rear ones were leaking, original alternator and original AC compressor (it was squealing). The car rides like it just came off the showroom floor these cars are all built like a tank solid quiet not a creek or rattle. There is a 2002 ES300 on TH-cam posted about two years ago with 590,000 highway miles with the original engine and transmission.
Yes it’s quiet and somewhat boring but super reliable luxury to the extreme. I’ll Be keeping it for many years
have the opportunity to purchase one of these exact year and model with 158,000 km, was debating as I never really thought much of Lexus but seeing and reading all sorts of reviews may have changed my mind
i luv that ride luv the beautiful gray leather seats look xtra comfortable
I bought one of these it’s an 05 es330 and it had 100,030 miles when I bought it. I got it from a very old woman who couldn’t really drive effectively anymore. I did all of the service to get it up to date not that it was way past due or anything but I have heard a lot of owners who have the same year es complain about shift surging or shift shock when it shifts occasionally. I have noticed it a very small amount with my car and am wondering if anyone else have ever noticed this same problem. I’m sure it’s a thing but my es is very clean and is soooo smooth. I love these cars
Josh Nathan yes I have a 2006 ES330 in immaculate condition drives like new. I bought it 2 years ago, single owner car with 180,000 miles. I now have 230,000. It does shift a bit Lurchy from 1st to 2nd gear but rest of the shifts are buttery smooth.
Same. .np though 2005
@@805NAVE do you still own it?
Nice review and commentary. Thanks... and Please use your turn-signal its lets others know your coming at them ;-p
Great video, stunning car!
Thumb up just for the description of the ES line. This is prescribed for insomnia.
Tbh, I like the es300 better. Although, the 05 Camry and Es330 have the same body-ish
Still have mine. Its from 1995 and does its job. 190k miles.
It is the nicest car I’ve ever had!!!
Sarah Kightlinger 😎 I own a 2006 Lexus LS430 I love my car never getting rid of it
03 v6 camry 330k miles, same platform as es300. Reliable for sure but at 22yrs 330,000 miles i am impressed that when i shut the door it is smooth quiet and tight little thump. Still very low noise at 80mph.on hwy. No squeaks or rattles. That is quality. 22yrs 330,000 miles and still feels and sounds new. No broken handles knobs or other little things. 100% of items function as new. I do not baby it or drive or treat it bad just basic life of a car. Friends with luxury cars at 100k and 5 to 7 yrs cannot say the same. My bufdy with benz was impressed.with how it held up, i let him drive it, he went and bought used camry and sold his benz. Nuff said
Your humor is top notch 😂😂😂
I have this same car. 2005 Silver with 260,000 runs perfect and STILL drives, looks and performs like the day I bought it. Do you still have this car for sale?
Lexus IS by far the top of the line I wouldn’t change mine in for NOTHING in the world
Marvin Cherry I own a 2006 Lexus LS430 I’m never getting rid of mines 😎
Marvin Cherry What Lexus do u have bro?
I had one of these. What a great car! Maybe a lil boring. But great car
True lol. We have a 2004 Lexus ES 330 currently which will be passed down to me. I love it. Such a reliable car and it's not a slow poke either.
I owned a 2013 ES330. A nice car and Lexus dealers provide first class service.
bulletproof
I have an 06 es330 and its smooth quiet.it was 110 degrees in las vegas and it took less than a minute to get ice cold.has all original stuff it was well taken care of
Corvetteman2013 yes, Lexus dealers really do have impeccable customer service, but the 2013 Lexus ES is a 350, not 330.
I drove one like that before a beautiful and fun vehicle to drive
I have a silver 330 2005 now with 186k bought 6 years ago with 88k still runs flawless n the mark Levi was only used for an radio so everything so crystal clear . This car is flawless except my key fob cracked so I have tape on it and that’s it mechanically it’s perfect .
I love this design.
I have the 2005 Camry SE V6. Very much the same car as the Lexus.
My Camry is very quiet, very powerful and fun to drive. Its 16 years old and drives just the same as the day I bought it. Toyota builds the best cars in the world.
Yeah its hard to tell if the engine is running, its so quiet.
Go try any Lexus es even if it's a 1992 model. I used camry 2005 and es 2005. The difference is very big, even though the es weren't good, and also 300, 000 miles.
Tach is a must my.03 camry.is like that. Tach tells.me it is still running lol
Here I thought I got lucky with my 05 ES 330 which was also an estate car, it had 50k original miles and was owned by a sweet elderly lady that unfortunately passed away. Yours is beautiful.
What if you don't mind me asking, did you pay for it?
@@Mrjack8118 I paid $8,000 for mine. I wanted to pay a bit less but the seller wasn't having it. All in all it's been a wonderful car and a pleasure to drive every day.
This would be a good car for my mom.
I bought a 2003 Lexus ES 300 that came from California last December but this one is way more pristine than my Lexus ES 300
I paused to subscribe right after you mentioned the switchblade storage cubby.
This guy must have been going through a mid life crisis when he did this review, this car is gorgeous, classy, and would last forever.
I would buy!
This is a fantastic car. It's not on your website so I assume it's sold already, which doesn't surprise me. I know driving it is kind of a snoozefest, but if you want something both extremely comfortable and extremely reliable, you can't do better than this.
Good review
I notice the 05 and 06 model has a little change the projection halogen or bi xeon headlights and the fog lights and taillights also the VVTi 3.3 thats really nice
If you don’t my mind me asking, what percent tint was on this vehicle
IT LOOKS TO BE ABOUT 20% (HAVE THE SAME ON MY ES330)
How much this would go in 2020?? Im from Europe and we dont have these here, I would love to have it tho, talking bout this 2005 model year
I can’t understand why the author of this video is criticising the quietness of the Lexus, who the hell wants a noisy car?, the quieter the better, I say.
Missing the amazing intro music from older vids. Pls bring it back
@12:56 "I almost got killed by that suburban" 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah a nice car to buy 100 percent in 2022 🥰
I love my ES 350 2010 with 69000 miles. Smooth and powerful.
Is this car still up for sale?
One of the most reliable cars on the road next to the Camry. Your right about it being dangerous though. Drive this car for my then an hour down the highway and it will make you really sleepy. It’s such a comfortable car but just make sure you have a cup of coffee in the cup holder of you plan on driving it for my then 30 minutes 😂
For somebody who “doesn’t like” this car you sure have a lot of nice things to say about it. Nice reverse psych. Wish it had aux input, but nice car for sure.
Those are amazing cars.
Toyota/Lexus quality 💪
Those houses are huge
Are the side mirrors auto dimming?
I don’t think this guy is capable of being happy or of not complaining. In the 1930s, the whole goal of the Cadillac v16 was that you couldn’t tell if the engine was on or off.
I for one don’t want a brand new Escalade where the 407 hp engine is screaming at you, and you can feel every toothpick and piece of dental floss you accidentally drive over.
I can guarantee you the number of people who drive and hit trees are those driving Benzes than those driving ES330s.
Whoever bought this is one lucky customer. 19k miles on this car is literally brand new.
I thought the Lexus IS competes with 3 series and C class, And Lexus GS competes with E class and 5 series. ES is somewhere in the middle.
Yes you're right
I love that color.
