Used Lexus ES 350

Models Introduced for 2007, the present-generation Lexus ES 350 essentially hasn't changed much, making low-mileage, well-kept examples top used car choices.

The previous generation of the ES, which ran from 2004-'06, was known as the ES 330, while 2002 and '03 models were sold under the ES 300 name. Although they weren't as powerful as the ES 350, the 300 and 330 are fine choices for a used entry-level luxury sedan, thanks to their capable performance, serene cruising demeanor and high-quality cabin treatments. For any ES, reliability is typically well above average.
