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 |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 300hp 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Pricey, especially with options, but no more so than its direct competition. Still cheaper than an equivalent M-B or BMW. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Not a lot of 26 year olds in my town are driving the car i have so i get looks allll the time. but anyway, Depending how much money you have to put down and make, will determine if u have a 500 $ payment since i was 11k upside down on my trade in. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Price is high...but all cars in this class have a high price. You get what you pay for. :) |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Over $10k more than V70 |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Full price - no discounts or concessions |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 265-horsepower 2.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
it is a pricey car in an absolute sense but a good value vs. bmw 540 |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 300-horsepower 4.2L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The car is was very expensive, and hence payments high. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.7L V6 6-speed manual AWD |
It can be quite expensive, though a used A6 over 5 years old will drop in price dramatically and become an excellent deal. |
