$5500 2008 Lexus ES 350, GOOD or BAD? 

That car is bullet proof mechanical

One of the most reliable cars ever made. My mom's 2008 is still running great, with no issues.

Sweet got 2008 Lexus es 350 for 2,300 with 150k she rides like a dream no dash lights on, new tires, tune up 🛢 oil change now jus a paint 🎨 job left she went through 2 F5s tornadoes 🌪 🙁

I would buy it just because it has a beloved cassette deck. I have a 2008 with 165k miles. When it goes, I will be looking for another 2007 to 2009 so I can continue to play my mixed tapes!

Make sure the accelerator recall was performed on it. And if your car is accelerating out of control, put your foot on the brake and shift into neutral.

I have never seen a Lexus with that kind of paint/clearcoat damage. I do really like the gold color though. Mine is a 2007 ES350 dark grey with 64k miles on it, love the car. Looks like you did alright given the paint and the small dent on the wheel well.

Mine cost $9600 with 83000 miles Now 3 years later just had to put a alt,batt,1 coil pack.Now it has 119000.

The part where the guy is laughing that had me cracking up it was unexpected and funny

3:34 “and the roof too… ahh 💩” 🤣🤣🤣

Great to see you back Joe stay up stay blessed! Great find, love my 07' ES350! You made away well with $7700 and happy customer I'm sure!

Got a 2007 ES350. Absolutely incredible quality.

Have one got it with 80 now is 135 drives smooth no problem nice and reliable

Looking to purchase a 2008 soon I love these vehicles

The bumper paint is cheap to fix if you find a local painter $150 to make it look good.

Joe you we’re MIA lol good to know you good brethren. Bless up

Can sell from $6400 to $7200 as is. It has the bullet proof 2GR-FE engine with low miles so, just broke in brother. Great buy at that price!

I am looking at one this week. The clearcoat is damaged on the trunk deck and roof because it was owned in the tropics, but it only had 53,000 miles on the odometer and it's just $5995. It's at a high end dealership with 200k cars and G series Mercedes, that wants it off the lot. I'll be doing a carfax and a good going over but I think it's legit. The passenger rear upholstery appears to be damaged from a child seat but the dash and carpets etc look great. It's got the black interior so if the dash was going to crack it should have considering the car is black and the clearcoat is in rough shape on two panels, and the hood is not perfect either, but it isn't on my Z-71 either! Clearcoat must not handle the elements well because I have seen clearcoat repair tutorials on here, and I have noticed the Lexus grille badge on a few of them.

Is it still up for sale? I will love to buy it

The I told you so from ur pops hit me in the chest lmaoo

I seen a 124k sitting on a lot for $7300. I would squeeze out two to three hundred dollars more. Anything above will likely attract too many window shoppers.

Joe, do you mostly just buy and resell Toyota/Lexus? Do other brands have a much lower turnover rate?

I have the same car except mine doesn’t have a display screen. However, it has a back up camera. This is normal????

Good deal 👍 I want one

My friend i want to know how to buy in subastas... what do you suggest me? Many thanks!

What kind of auction did you buy this from?

It should be around 8000... plus or minus.

The car will tell you what ever it needs

Its good. i dont think you’ll be able to resell for much mode imo. Very clean

Where is this auction lot located? How to buy from there?. Can you throw some light pls...thx

Got mine last year with 84 000km for 7000CAD so I'm not really sure if you'll make a big profit out of it... they sell for 5000-10 000CAD over here

40% ROR in a week? man ur golden

Nice car. Matching gold or silver most difficult to match. Looks like rear bumper cover was already painted doesnt match LR fender. Great car if your not picky...basic transportation.. good job on the sale

Steering wheel also looks kinda rough. What the hell happened to the roof and trunk? Looks like acid rain or something.

What a great deal!

Just bought 2009 for $9,000. 97,000 kilometers. Safetied, new tires. Need to have it detailed especially interior. Was it worth my money?

It’s solid car. ES 350 from 2007 to 2012 are proven beasts. You bought it for a fair price, especially with the low mileage (less than 120k). If you had to fix the cosmetic issues (metal dent by the edge of the rear number and spray job) it had, it would have cost you at least $1500. Whoever buys it afterwards for between $8000 and $9000 would have still got a good deal, and you would have made your profit.

Rear driver side quarter panel was repainted.

Steering wheel looks like it's been in a fire

You still buy cars at the auction ? You said Norwalk ca ?

Might have been in a accident rear bumper looks AM

Geeze i paid too much lol i paid 9.000 for mine with 124k on it but hey gunna last me a long ass time tho i aint trippin love these things getin my moneys worth for sure

Have you sold it already Cos I wanna buy

Bro ur handbreak was on when u were driving

I got a 2006 ES350 for $5000 with 171,000 miles on it and thought I had a bargain! Actually, I am about to get a 2011 ES350 top of the line, Lexus certified, with 56,000 miles on it for $17,000. Is this a good deal?

Low miles but that roof and trunk. Ouch....

I picked this up a month ago - pebble beach edition for $2k

Very low mileage! Awesome! The paint will be cheap thing to take care of. 8,000 obo price should be good.

Have you got this car now?

I just bought 2008 w 220 for 5k love it

Best buys are a GS. Usually the 2008+ GS350 if you can find one in great shape. I've got 2 for 6500 a piece. One got totalled so bought another. Nothing competes for the price. Reliability, 300+HP. Loaded with all features and it's look has aged extremely well. Also, it's RWD. Hehe.

What did you sell it for?

You can 500-750 off the car. Side note red and black cars sell the fastest

you can sell it in the philippines for about $15k.

really good deal if you actually need a car and the convenience of it sticking around for another 100k

I see the Rolex 😎

What was that warning light on the dash?

Joe I want to buy a Lexus. Do you export to nigeria it’s biggest market for used car

The steering wheel buttons on the left are all melted bruh

I want buy it

I got an 09 Lexus es350 super clean

Have the transmission flushed. Keep it.

AWESOME SELL!

Not too much I paid 8000 for a 07 with 121 k

Let me know when you get I need it

That's not much you paid. I bought my 07 es 350 ultra premium package for $7665 I know you want to make a profit but I would say it's not bad

I got my Es350 08 with 110k on it for $6150 I think I got a bad deal you got better

Bruh I would of bought this car for sure!!

Would you sell for 3k?

How much would a 2009 to 2013 Lexus IS 250 AWD be?

A car getting repo doesn’t mean it wasn’t taking care of 🤦🏻

today that same car would go for 8k+

4:17 What do you care what your dad thinks? It's your hard-earned money right? I've been to quite a few auctions. I always look the cars over before I bid on them.

I got the same car 5 months ago with 200000 and I paid 6800 I say you did good

The high end? Most if not all listings I see are way above 5500. Edit: Ohh you buy auction cars. Understandable then

I just picked up an 07 with 119k on it for $8200.

I have a Lexus ES three 52,007

Is maintenance expensive?

that car should sell for 7k easy especially if paint is touched up closer to 7500. primo

GOOD

Everyone, I know its a bad time to be buying butI am on the market for a lexus to fit my 3 kids at the back so no IS I guess., I am shopping off of Washington Dc but i ll travel for a good deal, pretty please hook a friend up

I have.es 350 2007 for only 4500 City L.A

$6875 is what u might get for it

It has definitely a rear accident

Definitely was owned by a dad lol

I think honestly my true opinion and I have been to the auction about 15 times you did pay too much for the car the average person is probably not even gonna want to give you 3500 for that car on the street and that’s the truth it’s gonna be hard to get your money back you did take a loss this time

Why wear a mask outside?

6,500 hundred easy bro..

I just bought my gf one ea 350 08 for $7250 117k

steering wheel does not match. the car. needs a whole new paint job.

Bro i got the same car for 3700

7800 quick flip

$7,291

8500 easy 117 is low

You want make quick buck move on to the next one that's the way in and out

Just Got me a 2012 es350 120k for 7200$ black on black super clean and smooth whats a steal

Great bid you sell for 7500 easy

4995$$ sell it.

Please what is your Facebook page name

I'd pay 8000 for it

I'll buy it as is for $50.00 - can't give you a penny more.
