I have a 2011 Lexus ES. If you're buying a used car, often the Lexus is a better deal. Here's why: The Toyota logo ALWAYS holds its value. There is a lot of demand in the camry market thus prices are generally high. If you want an avalon- the premium model- you're going to have to shell out for it. There are also less avalons in production making them more expensive. The Lexus ES has the same premium features as an Avalon, but because that's their standard production sedan it's not as "rare" of a find. Also luxury car buyers don't gravitate toward used vehicles so there's less demand there. Price shop a used avalon versus a used ES350. You might find that lexus is the better deal.
I found what you’re saying to be exactly true. Same year Avalon versus Lexus ES, the Lexus’ were actually cheaper. There are so many MORE ES’s than Avalons. I always thought people just don’t sell their Avalons and that’s probably part of it too But as you said, there just aren’t as many Avalons around as ES’s. The ES has consistently been the most popular car from Lexus, probably the only Lexus that sells as much as the ES is the IS.
I was into the market for a used Rx 2021. I managed to find a used one for the same price as used 2022 used rav4. I was also considering the Venza - Harrier and the 2021 toyota harrier was more expensive than the 21 Rx which i had purchased!
Trust what!!!! We middle eastern know better about Japanese cars,, Avalon wins against the Lexus ES!!! But for higher Lexus Model !! Lexus would won in terms of comfort
I'd never drive anything other than Lexus. They do not drive the same as Toyota ( but Toyotas are still great. Second only to Lexus imo) My es350 is the quietest, smoothest car I've ever owned. Been great to me repair wise
Thats precisely right! Lexuses handle so much better. I think they have more premium suspension parts compared to toyotas. They do pick the best toyota engineers and workers to work on a lexus production line.
The Lexus seems to hold its value better, imo. The name is the reputation and this good-will has value. Also, the Lexus has a lot more sound proofing making it a quieter ride compared to a Camry.
2000 Gs400. 270k miles on the 1UZ-FE. Hits speeds unacceptable to society alllllll dayyyy and that engine does not stress it🤣🤣. Lexus knows suspension and driver comfort that thing glides quiet even after 21 years on the stock suspension. Lexus forever

Lexus drives completely different to toyota , I've had the exact same lexus es300 as yours even same colour and I bought another camry of the same age and the camry drove really bad and bumpy , both were clean condition cars almost new , the lexus drives like youre on a cloud
@Vance Wankel yes much nicer and better materials for interior and the lexus has a different gearbox to the camry , its a more refined smoother 5 speed automatic
@Vance Wankel completely different from the soft leather interior to the “real wood trim” and I have a 2010 ES 350 with the six speed automatic and it shifts so smooth, and drives like butter, you are so isolated from the outside.
@Vance Wankel it’s really sad how ignorant people are and think because you drive a Lexus you are stuck up or pretentious and that is not the case at the end of the day I always tell people it’s just a damn Lexus! I’m not driving around in a $5 million Bugatti so stop comparing Lexus, because it is the luxury division of Toyota which is why it cost more because you get more luxury features than you would in a fully loaded Toyota the ignorance is just so disgusting with people it really is at the end of the day it’s just a vehicle and I drive it because I like a smooth quiet ride and I love lots of wood and I love the wood and leather steering wheel and I’ve just always been a fan of Lexus so sue me! Lol!
Me too. I just wish he'd stop saying it, though. Great cars but I've got 36 of the f*cking things now, I got nowhere to put them and my credit's about shot!
I've own a camry but never buying another one because it's too big, I'd buy a corolla if I want the car to last long, low cost maintenance, easy to park and better gas mileage.
I drove a Camry vs. an es 350 same engine but a completely different experience, the Lexus was quiet, smooth, and perfect, the Camry was loud and nowhere near as comfortable, was an easy choice Lexus all the way.
I know scotty means well but not all info here is correct. The engine tuning is different in all 3 cars even though you have the same engine. The engineers pulls power on the camry and avalon. Where the Lexus ES will have a better performing engine. The engineers are doing this on purpose but whatever
Lol! I have a v6 Camry, never been in an Avalon, had a gs300. The quality comparison is night and day. However with Toyota in general you get built quality. Lexus is a step up and way more luxurious. One feature I miss the most is the power folding mirrors.
2007 RX-350 has been a great ride. Bought my mom's after it got hail damaged. I don't think I have repaired a single thing except the rear trunk tensioners.
Depending on where you live, sometimes there's more lexuses on the market, meaning you can sometimes get a better deal on the lexus than its toyota counterpart. Always cross shop both when buying used imo
Sorry man, I build Lexus and Toyota at TMMC and alot more weld points , sealer, sound dampening, quality gates, finesse and time ( slower takt time ) go into Lexus and that's just what happens in body and paint dept. Before it goes to Assembly.
Camry is pretty much plain and cheap. Avalons are premium and quiet (with the right years). Lexus gets you premium quality. Thicker/double pane glass, good materials on the interior. A lot more soundproofing. Im in a newer avalon and miss my old one. It was a lot quieter. Want to uograde to the Lexus next time. The radio in this avalon sounds like garbage.
Scotty I know your trying to help, but don't hate on Lexus. You're arguing about the same car brand. Lexus is about the Japanese aesthetic and luxury which that's the whole point of the name LEXus. Luxury. It's not just a Lexus name 🤦
They are all good but hands down the Lexus interior is way better. That’s what you pay a little extra for, not just a logo. Reliable and comfortable. Any Camry other than XLE or XSE aren’t even in the discussion.
Well big difference is after owning one for years understand difference between something build in japan and build in usa if you still don’t understand just look at video of people working there and here will explain it self
I test drove all 3 used and my budget was low, low, loooow. I got a creampuff LS300 for less than either a Camry or an Avalon. The Lexus drove better than the rest. YMMV
I got the Lexus ls430 2001 awesome engine v8. Very powerful and easy to maintain. Bulletproof engines mine has 3280000 miles original engine and transmission original starter and alternator. Just regular maintenance. These cars easily go over 500000 miles if they are maintained.
Exactly, a Lexus will last as long as you take care of it, and sometimes it’s unfortunately sometimes some of the repairs are expensive, but it is what it is. I will never drive anything else but a Lexus.
I have the 2013 Toyota Avalon xle touring, I bought it last October 2020, before the prices went way up. 71113miles. For 12,000. For the same car now, they want 14500. I'm sure glad I listened to you!!!!! And so far, all I've had to do is change the oil and put gas in her. A lot of us have listened to you. Keep the videos coming.
In my opinion Lexus is much more quieter than the Avalon. Lexus uses a lot of sound deadening material so you barely hear the outside, I drive a Lexus ES 350 and that thing is so quiet,
@@mohammadsabir7600 even though Toyota own Lexus, they are completely different vehicles when it comes to features, etc, I’ve driven a 2010 Camry V6 in comparison, and it was loud and not a smooth quiet ride like the Lexus. (I test drove the luxury XLE V6, not the sporty SE V6)
I used to say that and then I drove a Camry and an ES300 in the same day. Same year. World of difference. ES had more power, quieter and handled better. Big difference.
Lol. Oh, dear, what has Lexus done to Scotty now? But Scotty, you once touted Lexus as the ultimate luxury cars. I think they make some of the best affordable luxury vehicles in the planet.
It’s not just the badge, I owned a 2007 Lexus ls460 l, I can assure you there no Toyota Avalon that came close it. It’s not just the sticker it’s the superior level of Toyota.
Id venture to say the Avalon has similar sound dampening vs the Lexus. But a camry? Oh hell no! When people say “a Lexus ES is a Camry”…… yeah the engine and transmission, unibody. But the engine mounts are different on the ES, and sound deadening is light years better in a Lexus vs a Camry. Not really apples to apples comparison
I was lucky enough to buy a 99 ES300 Coach Edition for $1500 because the owner didn’t know why it was stalling and misfiring. I replaced the 02 sensors and now that 3.0 V6 purrs like a kitten. I test drove all kinds of Camrys but they were all $2000 or more and did not have the same quality of feel. The suspension, handling, acceleration, sound system, accessories, and just overall styling of the Lexus makes it a lot more fun and attractive to drive. I love camrys but I test drove quite a few of those and I only had to drive one Lexus before I bought it lol. Even when it was running like crap I was like “this thing is just too cool to pass up” I probably wouldn’t have looked into Lexus if it wasn’t for you Scotty, so thank you!

It's a luxurious Toyota. That's what you pay for. I spent too many years sitting in discomfort in a crappy, regular old econobox. Life is too short to not enjoy some luxury. Definitely not the same experience. You certainly get what you pay for (and it's not expensive maintenance in either case).
@@8dtuneess342 it 100% is. People are just really clueless. A 2013 avalon and a 2013 es350 are the same car. Extra Insulation? Total joke, there's no special filler. The people talking about a quieter cabin is directly related to the tires on the platform.
Better suspension? Lol also another joke, same all around. Theres no extra control arms or extra sway bars, people are completely talking out there arse.
Literally the es300 is made right next to the camrys/avalon on the very same manufacturing floor with the very same manufacturing materials.

Guy sold the Camry out from under me, I got a 5 year younger Lexus instead.
That might be just fine😉
If you have the money: get a Lexus. I just bought an 08 ES350 for about 2.5k below its market value.

I had a 2007 Avalon and that thing lasted me 300k miles with regular maintenance. They are actually kinda fast for a full size sedan too
BBQ debate all the time, people say it’s the same. I point to a bland Camry with cloth seats and crap interior versus nice interiors ES350, suspension, electronics etc… not the same. A $300 cloth couch versus a $1200 leather couch ain’t the same. The list goes on, that’s what makes up the price difference people.
No.same car, same engine on avalon
People still pretending.
I loved my ES300 until every repair was literally 3-4 times the cost for every part. Back to a Camry now.
Did you know Camry is the same to ES300?
@@jonathanquiroz1 I wish that were true but the ES 300 has upgraded adjustable struts among other very expensive parts.

I learned recently that Lexus cars DO indeed drive differently. The suspension and steering is actually much better than a Toyota. But yeah other than that they're basically the same.
They feel like riding on a cloud or a waterbed. Not necessarily a good thing, though.

I've never driven a smaller car that rode like my 1979 Cadillac Deville. Like a cloud indeed. Didn't handle like a sports car, but wasn't meant to. Just can't beat all that weight to make a smooth ride. Also, it wasn't quick off the line, but top end was faster than my friend's Porsche. Really T'd him off.
Saw a car show once and a Japanese man was laughing at Americans for paying so much more for a Lexus. When asked why he said in Japan we don't call 'em a Lexus, we call them a Toyota. Same car with a few differences in equipment.
Got me a used 04 Camry with 176k and previous owner took care of it…I did all fluids even trans and changed the entire suspension and motor mounts and some other small things…she runs like new now…barely any rust under too

“If you just have the have the Lexus badge, get a Lexus”. I have another suggestion: buy a Lexus badge online and stick it to your Toyota. Or your bicycle, whatever.
😂
Scotty is so stupid for saying that, you don’t just buy a Lexus for the damn Logo and he of all people should know that, maybe he shouldn’t have been so damn cheap and bought his wife a newer ES 350, and he works on his own damn cars anyways!
@@RC-117 Scotty was very smart to buy the Lexus ES350 because he avoided the depreciation and yet got a damn solid car. Unfortunately not all of us are trained mechanics who can check for defects in a 2nd hand car.
@@CalvinK300 so true, if I had the mastered skills of a mechanic all the money I would save on repairs, tbh Lexus vehicles are not cheap to maintain when it comes to certain parts, but it comes along with the price of owning a luxury vehicle.
I worked with a guy who badged his car a Lexus and was pulled over by a cop who ran his plate and told him to remove the badges, something about identifying. Suppose it’s like registration on a red car and painting it black and not changing registration
if i see a video when scotty says buy an audi , i know the end has come ....
Lexus drives completely different to toyota , I've had the exact same lexus es300 as yours even same colour and I bought another camry of the same age and the camry drove really bad and bumpy , both were clean condition cars almost new , the lexus drives like youre on a cloud
@Vance Wankel yes much nicer and better materials for interior and the lexus has a different gearbox to the camry , its a more refined smoother 5 speed automatic
@Vance Wankel completely different from the soft leather interior to the “real wood trim” and I have a 2010 ES 350 with the six speed automatic and it shifts so smooth, and drives like butter, you are so isolated from the outside.
@Vance Wankel it’s really sad how ignorant people are and think because you drive a Lexus you are stuck up or pretentious and that is not the case at the end of the day I always tell people it’s just a damn Lexus! I’m not driving around in a $5 million Bugatti so stop comparing Lexus, because it is the luxury division of Toyota which is why it cost more because you get more luxury features than you would in a fully loaded Toyota the ignorance is just so disgusting with people it really is at the end of the day it’s just a vehicle and I drive it because I like a smooth quiet ride and I love lots of wood and I love the wood and leather steering wheel and I’ve just always been a fan of Lexus so sue me! Lol!
Love Toyota, but Lexus are amazing! My wife and I own a Rx350 Fsport and a GS350 Fsport. Best cars we have ever owned.
I agree love my 08 gs350 awd such a great quality vehicle!!
I’m a Camry guy atm planning on getting a Lexus they drive so smooth and are so quiet I just love them.
If Scotty says buy Toyota I will not even think. I will go and buy.
Me too. I just wish he'd stop saying it, though.
Great cars but I've got 36 of the f*cking things now, I got nowhere to put them and my credit's about shot!
Yup he said buy a scion its a Toyota so you know what i did i bought one
@@pimpinassassin I doubt it's a good car
Yes me too Everytime Scotty says buy a Toyota a buy a new one . I am a million dollars in debt
Those new camerys look really nice. They look like a legit sports car
When car companies piss Scotty off he post videos like this
The Lexus is better looking. You pay for beauty.
I've own a camry but never buying another one because it's too big, I'd buy a corolla if I want the car to last long, low cost maintenance, easy to park and better gas mileage.
Love my Lexus. It has been a great reliable car for my family.
Same rule applies for Honda Accord / Acura sedans?
I had an Acura TL. Way above the Honda IMHO, in the same ways people are saying for Lexus over other Toyota products. Built heavier/tougher.
Can’t I just get a Camry with a slightly updated interior aftermarket parts and place a Lexus logo?
A boring 4 door. Bleech...I want a 77 Trans am bandit!

I know scotty means well but not all info here is correct. The engine tuning is different in all 3 cars even though you have the same engine. The engineers pulls power on the camry and avalon. Where the Lexus ES will have a better performing engine. The engineers are doing this on purpose but whatever
Legend has it that Scotty hasn't stopped moving his hand around
Lol! I have a v6 Camry, never been in an Avalon, had a gs300. The quality comparison is night and day. However with Toyota in general you get built quality. Lexus is a step up and way more luxurious. One feature I miss the most is the power folding mirrors.
Yeah, I hear you. But my 350 has more space for that amount of gas and is safe in an accident.
I have a 2002 avalon, used, love it. Only cost about 2.5 grand and needed a new battery and alternator, only 100000 miles. On it
Odd days “Always buy xxxx”.
Even days “Never buy xxxx”
2007 RX-350 has been a great ride. Bought my mom's after it got hail damaged. I don't think I have repaired a single thing except the rear trunk tensioners.
Depending on where you live, sometimes there's more lexuses on the market, meaning you can sometimes get a better deal on the lexus than its toyota counterpart. Always cross shop both when buying used imo
Sorry man, I build Lexus and Toyota at TMMC and alot more weld points , sealer, sound dampening, quality gates, finesse and time ( slower takt time ) go into Lexus and that's just what happens in body and paint dept. Before it goes to Assembly.
It only took scotty repairing his wife's lexus alternator to cast aspersions on Lexus
Camry is pretty much plain and cheap. Avalons are premium and quiet (with the right years). Lexus gets you premium quality. Thicker/double pane glass, good materials on the interior. A lot more soundproofing. Im in a newer avalon and miss my old one. It was a lot quieter. Want to uograde to the Lexus next time. The radio in this avalon sounds like garbage.
There’s a yellow IS 300 here where I live. Real clean, and black sporty rims. I wish the owner was selling it.
Scotty I know your trying to help, but don't hate on Lexus. You're arguing about the same car brand. Lexus is about the Japanese aesthetic and luxury which that's the whole point of the name LEXus. Luxury. It's not just a Lexus name 🤦
I was getting the 5th gen ES350. I don't like the Avalon during those years, otherwise I might of gotten the Avalon if I went for a later year.
Not anymore Scotty, the new Toyota Camrys are 38K OTD for base trims. New Lexus is $46k OTD
A Camry V6 wasn’t 20 grand even in 2013 Scotty
Well the base Camry had a I-4. Then the XLE and SE you could get a V6 for a little more
They are all good but hands down the Lexus interior is way better. That’s what you pay a little extra for, not just a logo. Reliable and comfortable. Any Camry other than XLE or XSE aren’t even in the discussion.
Our 08 Lexus gang hasn’t had a single problem
A luxury vehicle from 2008 will definitely have some problems aka Lexus fanboy. I have 09 ls460 and trust me it does have problems.
@@MrGeezil our es 350 has almost 180k and not one problem yet. it has always been parked outside year round too

Well big difference is after owning one for years understand difference between something build in japan and build in usa if you still don’t understand just look at video of people working there and here will explain it self
Absolutely
Got a Lexus. Feels good.
The mark levinson speakers in the lexus though !!!
I bought a low mile 96 camry with a v6, needless to say best purchase ever.
Whats low miles ?
@@rayrayballer1 70k.
If toyota camry/avalon were rwd or awd id bet they'd out sell many car manufacturers
Everybody loves Scotty!
Yes.👍
That everyone is as cheap as Scotty … A Lexus vehicle is more refined and quiet over a Toyota I’ve owned both… some of us prefer luxury
I test drove all 3 used and my budget was low, low, loooow. I got a creampuff LS300 for less than either a Camry or an Avalon. The Lexus drove better than the rest. YMMV
When Scotty says buy used, the playing field starts to tilt.
Same car, landcruiser and Avalon same as Lexus, inside seats different but engine and parts, same
I got the Lexus ls430 2001 awesome engine v8. Very powerful and easy to maintain. Bulletproof engines mine has 3280000 miles original engine and transmission original starter and alternator. Just regular maintenance. These cars easily go over 500000 miles if they are maintained.
Exactly, a Lexus will last as long as you take care of it, and sometimes it’s unfortunately sometimes some of the repairs are expensive, but it is what it is. I will never drive anything else but a Lexus.
Your everywhere man I can’t keep up with you 😂
I have the 2013 Toyota Avalon xle touring, I bought it last October 2020, before the prices went way up. 71113miles. For 12,000. For the same car now, they want 14500. I'm sure glad I listened to you!!!!! And so far, all I've had to do is change the oil and put gas in her. A lot of us have listened to you. Keep the videos coming.
Is the Lexus more quiet than the Avalon?
In my opinion Lexus is much more quieter than the Avalon. Lexus uses a lot of sound deadening material so you barely hear the outside, I drive a Lexus ES 350 and that thing is so quiet,
Yes Toyota engines is kinda loud
@@mohammadsabir7600 even though Toyota own Lexus, they are completely different vehicles when it comes to features, etc, I’ve driven a 2010 Camry V6 in comparison, and it was loud and not a smooth quiet ride like the Lexus. (I test drove the luxury XLE V6, not the sporty SE V6)

How is it now after 10 months? 😃
Not gonna lie I wanna that circled L 🤷🏾♂️😂

I admire Toyota so much that I went out and bought a 2017 Camry. After owning it for a year I sold it because I hated driving it.
I like Toyota reliability but I must admit they have very unengaging rides.
This is huge! And I LOOOOOOOVE my 2019 avalon.
I used to say that and then I drove a Camry and an ES300 in the same day. Same year. World of difference. ES had more power, quieter and handled better. Big difference.
Absolutely. He talks such crap sometimes.
Lol. Oh, dear, what has Lexus done to Scotty now? But Scotty, you once touted Lexus as the ultimate luxury cars.
I think they make some of the best affordable luxury vehicles in the planet.
Those things are overpriced and definitely aren’t luxury, have you heard their creaky cheap plastic interiors
It’s not just the badge, I owned a 2007 Lexus ls460 l, I can assure you there no Toyota Avalon that came close it. It’s not just the sticker it’s the superior level of Toyota.
My 2013 ES300h was cheaper than a similar year Camry hybrid used…
what was the mileage difference tho
Scotty, you're da best!!
Id venture to say the Avalon has similar sound dampening vs the Lexus. But a camry? Oh hell no! When people say “a Lexus ES is a Camry”…… yeah the engine and transmission, unibody. But the engine mounts are different on the ES, and sound deadening is light years better in a Lexus vs a Camry. Not really apples to apples comparison
I don’t want to settle for less, SCOTTY. Lexus ftw 🙌
I have a 2017 Toyota Camry XSE V6, I’ve had it for two years now, love that car and it doesn’t even have 50,000 miles yet!

I’m confused because I own all of these lol
I was lucky enough to buy a 99 ES300 Coach Edition for $1500 because the owner didn’t know why it was stalling and misfiring. I replaced the 02 sensors and now that 3.0 V6 purrs like a kitten. I test drove all kinds of Camrys but they were all $2000 or more and did not have the same quality of feel. The suspension, handling, acceleration, sound system, accessories, and just overall styling of the Lexus makes it a lot more fun and attractive to drive. I love camrys but I test drove quite a few of those and I only had to drive one Lexus before I bought it lol. Even when it was running like crap I was like “this thing is just too cool to pass up” I probably wouldn’t have looked into Lexus if it wasn’t for you Scotty, so thank you!
