Another "masshole" buys a Lexus!🤣
🌤️🌴🌳🌲☺️
It's hot and humid 🥵 in south Georgia. Probably hot in Thailand and the Philippines too. 😂
Finally traded 94 celica?!
I just found a one elderly owner 2013 Lexus ES350 with 67k on the clock. The husband passed away and the wife sold it on fb marketplace with the help of her daughter. I'm thankful that the gentleman didn't want any tech in 2013. It's bare-bones with no sensors, blindspot monitoring, backup camera, or navigation. There's just two small trays where the mouse and handrest goes. It's a thing of beauty that it doesn't have any of the antiquated tech with this timesless drivetrain! I still can't believe how quick this thing is for being a non sporty commuter. I'm probably going to pass this on to my daughter in a few years when she turns 16 and explore getting myself a 2013-2015 gs350. These older Japanese assembled Lexus vehicles are so under appreciated.
If you sell it let me know Trying too find a car but it would be cool for ur Daughter
Forget Google maps. Waze is the way.
Didn't know u could option them without even in 2013, would be cool to see
@@CRAPO2011 It has a gray and black analog LCD screen where the navigation screen is and shows AC settings on top and audio on bottom. Everything is still selected on the center of the dash via buttons and knobs for AC and radio. In does have an in dash 6 disc CD changer. I looked for months and didn't see any other ES350 like this.
tray for a mouse? Please explain further. TYIA
Can confirm. My parents just scored an ‘08 ES350 with 56k miles for only $8,500! Car EASILY looks 10 years newer than it actually is!! Right car, right place, right time- God is GOOD!! 🎉
Amen!
Make sure you stay on they good side! That'd be an awesome hand me dahn gift in a couple years! My dad had an ES350 and it was exquisite.
@@egold2071some people would rather have their parents around than be hoping they die so you can get their car….
@@corvettemode1556 Whoa easy there Skip! Don't be such a gloomy gus! I just meant in a couple years, the fella mite be in the market for a cream puff, and the parents mite be itching to get a fresher piece. That kinda hand me dahn. I bought two of my dad's former cars that way - he let me pay him the low ball trade in the diller offered. Very proud / confident to get dad's when he tired of 'em.
@@egold2071you have very interesting grammar, and I understood everything you said. I feel the same lol
"This new car changes everying"...the new car...a 2015 Lexus
Yes like new
Time warp.
Have a 2015 GX that I don't think I can part with.
Sure, in Scotty-speak!
I have a 2007 ES 350 with 107K miles on it. I really like the way the car drives. It has required some repairs over the years, which aren't cheap, but it has mostly been a great car. Hoping it will last another 50K due to the high cost of new cars today. I am a big fan of Lexus and Toyotas.
Most likely will last you for MUCH more than just another 50k.
Bargains can be found if you’re patient & look. Found a 9 y/o Lexus LS460 with 53K miles in great condition on a Foord dealer’s used car lot for $18K. They gave $4K for my MB ML360 WITH 183K miles. After 6 years I still don’t have 90K miles on it!
I have a 2015 ES 350, bought at 158k miles, for only $10K during the 2020 pandemic! Running strong now at 180K
Awesome deal!
Just picked up a ‘22 with UL trim. It’s a real pleasure to drive.
Wish I would if bought lexus and Toyota 20yrs ago till now. But like many, I was stuck on buy American. I did and got junk. Man if I could turn back time
Same here.
My wife bought a 2017 Accord (Coupe), used 2 years ago (Touring with the 4 cylinder and CVT) ... she absolutely loves it.
Nice sleeper. That 3.5L is a beast of an engine!
That used ES 350 will last twice as long as a Hyundai. I own the exact same model of that ES, and they are the holy Grail of luxury used cars.
*LEXUS & Honda is the way to go thanks scotty.* 👏
Lexus and Toyota. Honda quality has fell off a cliff.
when i replace batteries on modern cars, i use jumper cables and a spare battery to keep the power on
With the amount of "I'm buying one" videos that Scotty has done he should have more vehicles than Jay leno.
Seriously !!!
Who is Jay leno and how many does he have?
Your enthusiasm and good cheer make your videos very enjoyable !🌞
100k here in Australia we call that just run in🤣
Isn't more practical buy japanese imports in Australia?
@@asadb1990 It is not that simple most vehicles are imported from Korea then Japan & a few from Europe however there has been a lot of makers sending all the components to South Africa for assembly then shipped to Australia ,one Ford (do not know which) was designed here fabricated in South Africa with an engine designed & built in Turkyie.(Turkey my spelling is how they spell it now.
I’m with you Scotty, I want my infotainment integrated into the dashboard. I would have bought the Honda HR-V two weeks ago but I can’t get past the awkward box sitting on top of the dash.
I refuse to pay $40K for a car! Stealerships are places I avoid.
Good used cars are hard to come by
I love how Scotty scans and finds codes and dismisses them all! Love it! 🤣
Jeep sends me emails about updating the map and wants to charge for it! 😂 Should be free. I just use Car Play and my phone!
I quite literally picked up a 2021 UL trim just yesterday for $39k with 7k miles. The perfect video!
It’s a Camry and Avalon wearing a suit and tie smooth quiet refined powerful and dead reliable.
The GS is built in Japan. That's the one I want
@@tyronmegawatts6580 it wasn’t too bad
I bought a 2015 Lexus ES350 with 62k for $20k. It's been a dream. One owner and maintained by the dealership. I bought from a dealership so they did their inspection and the worst is some superficial dings with the paint.
Thanks for a great advice Uncle Scotty
Wish I could see any if any trouble codes that showed up after his drive. Nice ride. Like to get one in the future.
I bought an 08 GS350 7 years ago, based on your videos, my son has it now and it’s a great car!
Swiched from 2014 VW to 2014 lexus IS . the lexus feel like 2022 with 100K miles .
With copytrading, you could be sipping coffee on a balcony overlooking a bustling city skyline or lounging on a pristine beach, all while your investments work for you. Picture the freedom to pursue your passions, travel the world, and create lasting memories with your loved ones, all because you took the initiative to harness the power of copytrading and build the life you've always dreamed of.
Can't share much here, I take guidance from ‘Sophia E Haney’ a renowned figure in her industry with over two decades of work experience. I'd suggest you research her further on the web.
Use her name to quickly conduct an internet search.
SHE’S MOSTLY ON TELEGRAMS APPS WITH HER NAME.
@Sophiahaney
thanks for putting this out, curiously inputted Sophia Haney on the internet, spotted her consulting page no sweat, and was able to schedule a session ... she actually shows a great deal of expertise from her resumé
Thumbnail looks nx 300 base
Exactly
Its a good move and nice upgraded Avalon
Even mighty Toyota is not at the level of Q it once was.........sadly
3 months ago I bought a 2016 LS 460 with only 60k miles on it for $27k , runs extremely smooth !
14 RX here, absolutely ZERO issues check engine lights or anything since new. If I bought an extended warranty it would have been $$ wasted. 80k miles and still going strong.
EVERY single used car has a dirty secret...a reason it is being sold. NO ONE will sell dependable, reliable, economical, fun to drive car. You may find this secret out soon or later... but you will find it. I've been buying used cars for 50 years. I can fix pretty much anything, but ordinary owner can not.
Just pray it still can drive with the light on
@@Tubeyou2343hhsg Oh, yes, weak alternator...one reason to get rid of older car.
What if they had back surgery and can't get in and out of their Honda Civic coupe?
@@samkitty5894 I mean if the check engine lights on lights on I’m praying my hoopdie is moving
@@vinnys7514 good buy
Another excellent video again!
the rubber timing belt will not sheer the oil like a chain
Unless it's Ford
What rubber timing belt?
Hey Scotty. Could you possible try to source a Toyota Avalon? I have owned 2 of them. I had a 1998 Avalon XLS gold edition and a 2008. They were amazing cars. I bought the 1998 with 65k miles on it for $11k in 2003 and drove it for almost 6 years. I sold it with 120k miles on it for $8k. Not a single thing done to it but a tune up that I did myself. 6 years only cost me $5k!!! I had the same experience with my 2008 I bought. I really wish I had kept that 1998 longer though. What an amazing car. The 08 had more power but the finishes inside were not as high quality. But it was still a solid car. Every Toyota I owned over the years has cost me very little. I buy them used, tune them up, change the oil, and maintain them myself. Only Toyota that left me walking was a 1995 Camry XLE I bought. But I bought it knowing it had a bad transmission. It was a long time ago and I paid $3k for it. I put $1800 into rebuilding the transmission. I sold it 2 years later for $4500!!! That car cost me less than $1k to drive for two years. What an amazing time I had with Toyota from 2001 to 2015. I wish I could buy a new one but I don't want a turbocharged car. Naturally aspirated is the only way for me.
Yep, older is better... I had an '89 Accord & I could set my coffee cup on the dash, not any more... older is better... I am thinking I Should be driving a model A. God Speed, & Thank you for your videos :-
)
We have a 2015 Lexus hybrid with 30k miles. Runs great
❤❤❤ my 2021 V6 ES 350 Luxury the only thing I would like a front end camera.
Man I wish I could find that year for that price. The 08’ I got my wife is still running good and doesn’t burn any oil but I’d definitely like to upgrade to this one. My LS still runs great but it burns oil a lot.
Love the feel of the 2013-2018 ES generation. Had a 2013 es300h, a tree fell on it during storm, it was a tragedy. I waited for sometime and got a 2016 es350. Sheer driving pleasure at every trip!
A quality used car is really good, specially with manual transmission.
The original anti-theft device.
Another helpful video Scotty! Thank you so much. And as always - very entertaining. Keep them coming please.
I own a Sorento with 102,880 miles on it, and I ain't EVER getting rid of it!!! NO issues, EVER!!!
Oh you will, but I hope you won't😅
So long as the MIL (money light ) is not on I do not care what small useless codes that are stored in the ECM.
I have a 2013 GS 350 F sport, the only thing that broke is the $450 analog clock lol
I have 2013 es 350 too best car ever.
Most automakers don't make reliable car after 2018
My partner just bought a 2016 ES 300h with 56k miles and omg it drives soooo nice. Perfect car for commuting and traveling!
I got a 2008 last month. Has 30K more miles than this, but exactly half the price. Two owners before me (both elderly). Spent its life in BC, Canada (no snow and salt, zero rust). What do y'all think of the deal?
My stepdad did the same thing to an older Jimmy. Poured in the slick 50 and dumped it. Wer sa it a few months later on the road. Sounded like a bear in a kitchen.
It's a 17 one by me they want 20k. 46k miles on the clock... good deal?
Definitely
I have the same Nav system on my 2008 Lexus RX 350. I use it about every other day. Love it, even though the roads aren't updated. You live with a mistake occasionally.
I owned an even older model ES300 before this one. Another great car. I just needed something bigger to carry stuff.
I've got a 2013 mazda ll. 1.5ltr. automatic. took me from north Texas to Denver Colorado with no problems. I definitely will not drive a small car with a small 4cylinder in it ever again. but it took care of me tho.
I got a Hyundai veloster non turbo 2013 man that’s little beast gets me around town
Hey Scotty , I’m in Japan at the moment and thinking of buying either a Crown or one of the bigger Lexus, an older one, what would you recommend, maybe a hybrid so I can get some fuel economy.
The idea is to ship it back to Australia when I go back.
I have Volvos and love them but very tempted to try one of the Lexuses!! 😅 awesome cars
I have a 2013 ES. Reliable as heck… looks just like this one.
What is your scan tool
What's your thoughts on Mullen automotive commercial EV?
Thanks Scotty
Toyota & Lexus should give you an award
I'm just wondering why you would move back to Tennessee mid summer from a RI island.
Thanks Scotty. 💙🙏🇦🇺
Relying only on phone for navigation can be a problem in rural or mountains, just saying.
how? it uses data from GPS satellites
Iam thinking of buying Toyota Tacoma or tundra. What do you think of either model and is there a particular year I should get and what should I stay away from?
Scotty can you recommend a product to take off cement on wheel well and lower trim?
Hey Scotty, what do you think of anode rust protection systems? Im an old school Krown or Rust Check user and it has always inpressed me as long as you use ut annually. Do the anode systems work as well as they claim they do?
Thank you Scottie, you convinced me to get a Lexus! Just kidding, I'm really happy with my Golf GTI, surely I wouldn't change it for some boring asian car 😂
The lexus wil outlast your little golf so "boring" is actually better long term..
@@WilliamLopez559 Long term we're all dead. Life is too short to drive boring cars!
I bought a 2024 Sonata because my wife enjoys the tech stuff and I don't regret it. It's a good looking car gets 46mpg on the highway in light traffic 27mpg around town. The only thing I don't like is the accelerator is by wire and when I take my foot off the accelerator it literally will not slow down for 10 seconds and I'm waiting for the computer to decide I really mean it. Acceleration is no problem, it does that immediately. I actually got the Sonata for less than the cost of a new Elantra and I'm pleased with it.
That must put a lot of wear on your brakes having to fight against the engine!
@@musicloverme3993 I described taking my foot off the accelerator without stepping on the brake. It is a little disturbing to me that the car without cruise control activated maintains speed for several seconds after removing foot completely from the accelerator. There must be some kind of circuit that when the brake is activated, the engine stops accelerating, just as cruise control on an earlier model car.
Scotty you are absolutely right about this 🚗 you have a great day 😮
Why did I find this video 3 days after you uploaded? Strange.
I got a is 300 v6 2018 at $18 .900 a good car all round now at 85ks
scott vans please
The mapping app I use even tells when cops are ahead, it was amazing.
Waze?
@@andyman8630 the app that was installed on my iPhone
Es350 is the best value in the whole used market. People don't know about them
Thanks
Scotty has the best scanner made to steal cars if left to its own device. Scotty is very honest, though!😅
Hello Scotty Kilmer! Can I mix coolant of Toyota to coolant of Honda?
If you have to then make sure both are same color
I had a 2008 and a 2019 ES 350. Great comfortable cars with the legendary reliable V6! Lexus new turbocharged engines won't be even half as reliable.
What "new car"?
Should I buy Lexus or acura
Beautiful blue Lexus
Hey Scotty what year do you think the Lexus ES quality started to go down?
That's not an accurate premise. Each manufacturer engages in cost saving while advancing technologically. There are options for those who don't want to compromise in build quality like G-Wagon Pro or Land Cruiser 70 but I doubt they're available in the US.
What the heck is a Hi-yon-day?
I have the same car, and infotainment system radio keeps rebooting while driving. Lexus wants $3,400 to replace it. Any suggestions???
IfI bought every car Scotty recommended. I would have a thousand cars🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴
That's a great car and a steal.
Should've looked at these. Instead I took a new Camry. Great car but I paid twice as much.
$27000 for a brand new Camry is not bad.
He made good deal.
Beautiful car.
Great video, Thank You Mr Kilmer 🙏👍
Scotty the Goat !! Never tells a lie ❤
He's a goat? I though he was AI. 😅
Lexus so Clean the engine plastic looks new
Did you misquote this model I can't find a c350 onlinr
Pretty sure he said es350
That's how we all know Scotty old old a 2015 is a new car for him 😂
Stop, telling people about this car, I’m trying to buy one now!😂😂
I want one
tell us how he 'disposed' of that car?
Scotty the 🐐
