Wow!! That looks epic! 😍

Love it 🤣 Thank you.

Thank you Colin for your help 👍🏻

Hi all. Just doing my research on the ES and was wondering what sort of white paint it has please? Is it a solid white, or metallic or pearlescent even? Has there been different whites available since the current ES has been around in the UK? Thank you all 👍🏻 Clarkie.

Hi Colin, Thank you for your help and comments. Wow....to be on your third ES...you really must love them! Love that it is a big car as the space is always very handy as i have 2 children! Plus i am used to a large vehicle as i once bought an imported Nissan Elgrand 3.5 V6 which is a large 7 seater! Regarding car parks...much to the annoyance of my wife, i park as far away from the shop as possible so as not to get parking dents etc, so hopefully parking a ES won't be too much of an issue! 😂

Hi Vlad....and thank you for your warm welcome. I have had a little look in the ES section of the forum but i shall start reading through all of the threads properly when i get chance. I know a fair amount about the ES as i have been watching many videos about them on YouTube! I have had many many cars over the years, which is something i get ribbed for by friends and family. All of them have been manual apart from 1 but i have driven many automatics over the years. 99% of my driving is around town so i believe the ES would be well suited to, especially being an automatic of sorts. Oh yes....i know about the stigma and it is something that i definitely do not care about..if anything, it makes me want a Lexus more and makes the people that buy the German brands look even more silly!! I'm not sure if i shall be buying new or not.....my Wife might kill me, but hey ho! I can get the entry level ES with a discount through CarWow for £36k, and i think the entry level version would suit as it is very well specced and loaded as is and am not much for a gadget and gizmo lover. Plus there is the added benefit of the warranty being valid up to the car being 10 years old or 100k miles on the clock with each yearly service which is a bonus! But i could get a 2020ish ES from a Lexus dealer with around 20k miles on the clock for around 26-27k (for which could be an 'F Sport model or higher) which is quite a saving over the new but discounted price and i only cover around 6-7k miles a year anyway so buying used will not be a problem. So with the whole PCP thing...i will have a balloon payment to make to keep my current car, which is the minimum the car will be worth at 4 years old. I can not pay the balloon and hand the car back and walk away, or hopefully the car will be worth more than the balloon payment so i could part exchange it in for the ES and the dealer would settle the finance and any amount over the balloon amount would go towards the ES along with a further deposit i will have by then. Thank you again for your help and comments 😀 Clarkie.

Hi all. Hope you are all well? My name is Russell and i live in Essex and i am dreaming of owning a ES! I am a total car nut and have been since i was a very small boy and i have always admired Lexus cars from afar because they are different to every other prestige car on the road. Plus they look much cooler with their own style ......especially over their German rivals and they are ultra reliable! What i have never understood is the stigma attached to Lexus cars that only older people would own a Lexus.....but in my mind why wouldn't you want own a car that is ultra reliable, different and unique style wise? I really have a hankering for an ES and i hadn't seen one in the metal until this week when one passed me in traffic in white and it looks absolutely stunning.....so much so, i must have an ES! In reality i shall have to wait for my current PCP deal to end in a year and a half before i get my first Lexus, so i thought i would join this forum to learn all about the ES and contribute to the threads. Anyway, many thanks everyone and i look forward to reading through all of the content on this forum 😃 Clarkie
