What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Lexus ES

Price of the Lexus ES: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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.

2007 4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Bought used 4 years ago, very inexpensively with 23k miles on it. Put $1800 into repairs over 130k miles, mostly minor things like sensors, oil leaks, etc

2009 4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 There is always a premium to drive a MB.
2007 4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Its a Mercedes-Benz so one has to pay for the brand name. Its an expensive vehicle, but not out of reach.
2002 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 5.0L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range		 too expensive
