Buying Tips for the Lexus ES

  • The 2022 facelift replaced the controversial trackpad with a touchscreen; it is worth the extra cost if you value ease of use.
  • Check the 12V battery health, especially on cars that have sat in dealer lots for long periods.
  • Test the sunroof (if fitted) for any signs of water ingress or slow operation.
