So after owning my 545i for three years I traded it for a Lexus GS350 awd. I got the car from Lexus of Englewood, they were great! I loved my e60 but the consistence maintained was killing me. I got a great deal and decent Money for my e60. I'll upload the pictures later. The car is amazing. Not as sporty as my e60 but the ride and features are amazing.

One of my work colleagues has a 2010 ES - it's a pretty sharp car. Its nowhere near as fun to drive as the E60, but the car caters to a different kind of driver.
Congrats and enjoy!

Intuitive? How's so?Included with cassette player! They're still including those?
Very nice car. A friend of mine a few years back had a GS300 previous gen (1999 i think) and wanted a Ford F150 for work. So he went to the ford dealer. He bought the lexus at 120K mi. for about $10,500 and at 165K it needed MINOR work so they would give him 4300 for a trade..so I threw him 4500 cash. I changed oil pan gasket, oil, plugs, air filter...minor maintenance.Which cost less than $100 Had it sold within days for $6800. It drove like a champ and definitely kept it's own in regards to value and performance. Good luck!

Cool . We have the ES350 same packages as your GS. Lexus cars are certainly different then BMW's but they are unique and best of all....reliable and comfortable! Many mods out for the GS350...HUGE community try Clublexus.com. F Sport Intakes, Exhausts, Lips....very fun car once you start modding. Get some LED DRL .
