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

Price of the Lexus ES: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
20084dr 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).
20084dr 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.

Price of the Acura TSX: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
20094dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		Got it for well below invoice
20084dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		It was $5000 less than an A4 and $10000 less than a BMW 3.
20064dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		inexpensive in its class
20064dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		The TSX is a lot of car for the price. The only extra cost option is navigation, which I did not get. Everything else is standard.
20064dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		Best value at the price point, compared to the competition (Lexus IS, Infiniti G35)
Price of the Acura TSX: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
20094dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		too high
20074dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		Just seemed a bit pricy for what you were getting, but ther was no faulting the overall quality feel and execution of all aspects of this vehicle.
20064dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		For the same MSRP as the Accord V6 w/ 6SP, the monthly payment on the lease was about $100/mo. more. The dealers were also very firm with their pricing.
20064dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		Dealer unwilling to negotiate price.
20054dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD		Too expensive for what you get as a used car. Nothing I can see warrants this high resale value for what is essentially a European Honda Accord

2010 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
