What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Lexus ES
| Price of the Lexus ES: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The price of the car is about $5,000 too much in my opinion considering it lacks several features other much less expensive cars include standard that Lexus charges outrageous prices to add (such as satellite radio and remote start). |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
For the price of the ES, which I paid under invoice, I could have nearly paid for two 4-cylinder Camrys. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Able to get 2500 under invoice which I can never get for for BMW. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
sticker $56k plus options |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 382-horsepower 5.5L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
More than most peoples house note, but, you get what you pay for and it is a Mercedes. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 507-horsepower 6.2L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
It is a $100,000 car. It is expensive, and it is expensive to maintain. This is easily a $150,000 investment over 3 years. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Much higher price than competators. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
In light of the prices for all cars today, you get what you pay for and the Mercedes offers only the best. They are competitive. Only problem is high cost of repairs/maintenance. Labor costs. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 201hp 3.2L I6 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Mercedes is one of the highest priced cars around. I think you pay some for the name, but some for safety and reliability |
| 2004 | 4dr Wagon 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Paid very little for it (high mileage) but cheap to keep it is not. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
They are expensive, but you get what you pay for. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
High initial purchase price, about 10-20% above similar Lexis/Infinit models |
