A great sense of comfort.

Very nice car. A real sense of dependability,reliability, smooth. I only wish it were another color. Should go well into the hundreds of thousand miles range.

The car was exactly what we were told

I had a Lexus Es350 2007. I knew what I wanted and the car was everything we were told low mileage with hardly any defects.
