Fun fact. Apparently Lexus was having trouble designing wood that wouldn't eventually warp, so they contacted Yamaha's Piano division (wooden pianos) for help.

When you compare this stunning Lexus with it’s Camry cousin it’s sort of like comparing a decent high school or college player with his cousin who’s an NBA star. Sure you can see some similarities, but the differences are striking. This car the front grill and side lines alone look amazing. Black is definitely the right luxury color for this car. And for a 2009 the headlights look unblemished basically new. I’ve heard waxing them as you wax the rest of your car monthly keeps them protected. Great car and nice effort on your video.

I wish I could’ve experienced the smoothness and comfort of the ES350. My 07 ES350 has given me hell, the transmission being the main issue, The AC, and a shaking steering wheel at speeds above 50mph. I’ve replaced tires, axles, shocks, rotors, brake calipers, ect, tons of wheel alignments and balances but the shaking remains. I’m extremely dissatisfied with it compared to my previous 99 GS300 which drove absolutely beautiful. I’ve test driven other 07-09 ES350’s that drove great also. I guess mines was a bad one unfortunately.

@KyleLiongCars 3 года назад

Hmmm I can’t particularly say as I’m not too familiar with the prices in the US, but generally, you can always try to haggle down the prices for these if just like the car I reviewed, it doesn’t have the premium package with Sat Nav, and Mark Levinson audio. I don’t think you can haggle down that much based on mileage unless it’s ridiculously high as most of these last over hundreds of thousands of miles. Cheers. Hope you get the car you’re hunting for :)

@KyleLiongCars 3 года назад

Well unfortunately I can’t really say since I’m only familiar with prices here in our country which are at least 2x more than prices in North America so to me, $5500 is a steal of a lifetime haha!

Not too sure about prices there in the US. From what I know it’s way lower there than in the Philippines. $13,000 is roughly what I paid for mine though over here. I expect a car in similar condition to be closer to half the price I paid for, in the US.

@lawrencebautista1 3 года назад

Too bad Lexus PH still doesn't offer the ES300h. In theory the TRAIN Law should now make it more feasible to import. Not even the Camry here is offered in hybrid. The updated 2021 model now has lithium-ion batteries instead of nickel-hydride in the outgoing model, which frees up more space in the trunk.

@KyleLiongCars 3 года назад

Personally I would stay away from hybrid vehicles. We've had the North American Camry Hybrid (same XV40 body as this. 2007 model), and when the battery went bad, it was extremely expensive to fix. My friend's Lexus CT200h is currently inoperable too for the same reasons. I think there's a big community advocating Lexus for it's reliability, but there is a general consensus to stay away from Lexuses (and Toyotas) which have hybrid powertrains. Also to add, the hybrid system that Toyota/Lexus employs does not support running on gasoline alone, so once the hybrid system goes bad, unlike some makes, the car just becomes a big expensive paperweight on wheels :(( This reason also explains why hybrid cars from Mercedes and Lexus, for example, on the used market are usually cheaper than their non-hybrid counterparts.

@lawrencebautista1 3 года назад

@@KyleLiongCars I see. So the shift to lithium-ion batteries might compromise the purported reliability of Toyota and Lexus hybrids in the long term even more. As it is said that nickel metal-hydride batteries are longer lasting, and this was the reason why Toyota and Lexus still sticked with the older battery for some time until today as they didn't want to compromise reliability. Unlike Hyundai-Kia, which used lithium-ion batteries early on. Or alternatively, while I'm not an electrical or electronics engineer, I think the shift to lithium-ion is driven by supply chain reasons as they are now more readily available. So in theory, they should be easier to replace.

@KyleLiongCars 3 года назад

No doubt that since the XV40, the understanding of the science behind hybrid and electric cars have greatly improved, and surely, costs and availability for replacements are not as bad as before, but that still does not detract from the fact that it’s a rather young science compared to internal combustion engines, which means that reliability, and longevity will still be a concern. 90s and even 80s or older Toyotas still run well and are abundantly seen on the road today as by the 80s and 90s, the internal combustion tech was already a few decades old. Electric vehicle technology however has only been around for just over a decade in widespread use. Besides, the electric motor is just another additional part that can go wrong, and will go wrong.

The Camry SE 2009 is slightly better to drive . The ES is luxury the Camry SE is sport edition so the suspension is tuned differently

Kinda different from the Camry, yes

Do you use premium or unleaded.gas

This needs premium. The ones from 2010 I think or 2011 could use regular unleaded already.

Owner wants to sell a 2010 with 280.000 miles for 5000 is that a good price or two much.

@KyleLiongCars 3 года назад

Hmmm I can’t really say as prices are very different here where I live. For reference, a 2009-2010 model here with anywhere between 50-80K Km will cost around 600K - 800K Philippine Pesos. Do note that cars are generally way more expensive here both new and used, easily at least double than that in let’s say the US or Canada. Also, mileage of cars here are very much lower since we have extremely small roads. A car can already be considered “high mileage” for us once it reaches around 90K - 100K Km

reliability? maintenance?

@KyleLiongCars 3 года назад

As this is based on the Camry, reliability and maintenance should be very minimal. As mentioned this car does not have a single thing wrong with it despite its age

@bugsy101073 3 года назад

@@KyleLiongCars seems like the mileage is too low for an 11 yr old car

@KyleLiongCars 3 года назад

@@bugsy101073 Here in the Philippines we have really small roads, so to give you an idea, the average here is around 10K Km per year. Well the previous owner had a lot of cars. Like, a lot hahaha so this was rarely used. In fact I have another friend who has a 2004 Lexus LS with only 2200Km. Review of that to follow ;)

That car will outlast the S-class without a second thought. Toyota did the most obvious thing with it luxury Lexus brand, and put their industry best Toyota engines in the Lexus to give it bullet proof reliability.

This car is definitely not a camry. If you think so go to any dealership and see which one costs more? It's probably a reason for that. Nothing wrong with a camry but it's just not a Lexus.
