I was just looking for videos on radio installs on my new (to me) ES330 and low and behold...in this video...is my car. No not like "I have a similar car". This. Exact. Car. The one in the video. At that lot. From 512 auto ranch.

I inherited my grandma’s black es 06 few months ago. Under 50k on odo. Always serviced at dealer. Leather & interior is pristine, i’m so happy. Smoothest car ive ever driven

Just bought a 2005 model with 114k miles. It's unbelievable to me that everything works in this car. All the power items, cruise control, displays, radio, cassette, CD, all lights, windshield wipers, and power seat. Even the clock. All I had to do was put on a new set of tires with brakes, then detail it. Paint is pretty decent. Some bumper rash front and rear but not too noticeable. 
Dash has one crack at passenger side airbag just like you showed but overall the interior looks brand new. Even the leather seats are in mint condition. Hood strut had to be replaced, but that's it. It runs and drives great. I got it for 5k off Craigslist. One owner grandpa car who unfortunately had passed away. It was his baby. Never had a foreign car but I'm impressed with the overall quality.

This car is certainly the most reliable car I know. I have the 2005 and I have been a proud owner for 7 years now. So far, I have changed plugs, cords, alternator and brakes which is nothing major. Currently riding like a dream at 245784.

Proud Lexus owner here! and I can say that nothing beats the quality build and long term performance of my 05 ES330!!! Amazing daily

I own an '02 ES300. Best car I've ever owned, no exaggeration.

My 2005 ES330 has 385, 000. I have NEVER changed the transmission fluid in this car. I change the oil every 5000 miles with Mobile 1. Every 100, 000 I change out all the belts and hoses . I also change the spark plugs and flush the radiator and the brake line. I still get 400 miles to the tank on the highway. I love this

03 ES300 here. 266, 000 miles and running like she did when she was new (seriously). Doesn’t burn oil. Oil literal looks decently clean even after 7000 miles. I did recently have to replace the catalytic converters, rear struts, front axle, rear brake rotors, evaporator canister. All those were replaced for e first time and are expected to be replaced sooner on most other cars. E fine and trans themselves have given me no problems at all. I love this car. I recently converted all exterior and interior lights to LEDs to give a modern look. Going to drive this til it won’t go anymore, which from what I can tell won’t be soon.

My dad bought a certified 2006 ES back in early 2010 and drove it for over 6yrs. After he passed, my sister took it and she is still driving it and doesn't want to change it for anything else. Lexus gave us two timeless classics, which were well ahead of its time and will look good 20yrs from now. I'm taking about the ES330 and LS430 and specifically the 2005-2006 model years.

I have an 04 es330. Over miles. Still going strong!

Just about every 2005 es330 has that tear at the airbag. But you can get a very nice felt dash cover, that is what most of us do. Great reliable car, if you ever do need to work on it, parts are inexpensive and most of the work is easy to do yourself. One thing to keep in mind before you purchase this car. It has a Timing Belt, not a chain. The belt must be changed out every 90K miles. If using OEM Toyota parts, you can go way way over that and the belt will still be in good shape, but stick to the 90 to 100K. If you do not replace the belt and it breaks or one of the timing components fail because you neglected it, you can kill the engine, this is an interference engine, meaning if the timing goes off such as the belt breaks, the pistons can hit the valves, bending valves and damaging the piston heads and more, basically, you will need a new engine. The cost to have a shop do the timing job which includes a new belt, new tensioner, 2 idler pulleys and a new water pump will run you about $1400 minimum. You can do the job yourself with OEM parts for under $400. Before you purchase this car, look at the timing belt cover, it should have the date and mileage the belt was last done, if it is do or will very soon be due for a change, you must add that cost into the purchase price.

Elegant, reliable, luxurious car. I got a 2005, with 189K miles and it is still driving excellent.

[winstonmiu]

The design still looks modern today. These cars age like a fine wine.

[mannyreese]

I just bought one year 04 for under 1k so far im loving this car ... rides clean with 150k miles on it ... interior looks cool n fancy

[mjyporter]

Love this car, my first car was an ‘05 identical to this and there was something classic simple and luxurious about it. The ‘15 I replaced it with and currently drive is superior in many ways but the ride in this was a bit better.

My girlfriend inherited her grandma’s 05 Camry XLE fully specced out and it has the 3.3 from the ES330 as well as nice leather seats, wood trim, and all kinds of other cool things. Very solid cars from Toyota.

I have a 2005 Lexus ES330 with 262k miles, recently replaced ignition coils, spark plugs, valve cover gaskets, manifold gaskets, & oil changes. Other than a few cosmetic issues, its mechanically strong

[darrelmiller]

It's the best 6k I ever spent. I've had mine 3 years and put 100k miles on it and it still runs like new at 230k. Definitely buying another one!!! Team LEXUS ❤

[natlovell]

I think only thing from getting one of these over a 350 is the timing belt and the fact it has to be changed every 80-90k miles (to be safe) and that’s like $1, 000 everytime. Pay a bit more for the es350 (or rx 350 for that matter) and don’t have to worry about that. I do love the looks of the 330 for some reason.
It’s quirky but elegant

[cruisyguy]

Had a 2006 in burgundy or wine color with black interior. That car was so whisper quiet and smooth. Drove it cross country twice in the blazing summer heat with no issues just a smooth ride at about 32-33 MPG at 70 MPH. Sweet.
