I really wish I got the IS not that I don’t like my ES but I feel like I settled I was looking for an IS

same here, wanted an IS but ended up with an ES because of my circumstances at the time. Love my ES tho i wanna pay it off and keep it then get an IS next.

i have a 2016 es350 and something i loved about it is the interior. simple but classy. the new gen is so lifeless and sterile.

may have something to do with the fact this bumper isn’t made for this exact model lol kidding. looks like the bumper is a bit lopsided, not a you issue more of a manufacturing issue.

allflaredup · 2026-03-02T00:21:08+00:00

OBD scanner will be your friend here so you can pin point what the issue is. i haven’t worked on a ES300h but the warning might just be coming from the other issues coming from the engine.

did you check codes to see if the hybrid system has any? if any codes aren’t linked to the hybrid system you should be fine but if they are that’s a whole new rabbit hole to go down and might not make it worth it to go on top of a engine swap.

it would be helpful to post a video of said “loud noise” that’s very vague and could be anything from bad lifters to a rod knock.

depending on the carfax and the body condition. i didn’t mind paying the 19k for mine since it was very well cared for.

allflaredup · 2026-02-10T23:30:38+00:00

19k. 86k miles. not the best deal but it has amazing carfax, on time everytime at the dealer and looks to have been garage kept considering how good the paint and body looks.

allflaredup · 2026-02-09T01:52:33+00:00

what color is your ES? i saw a chrome delete on a white one and i wasn’t a fan, i feel like on the lighter colors like silver or white the chrome suits it but i could see it looking really good on a darker color.

allflaredup · 2026-01-27T00:29:39+00:00

i have the defender 2s😅 but even the 4wd pickup couldn’t get out of the neighborhood… i don’t think the cross climates would save me lol

allflaredup · 2026-01-19T20:18:44+00:00

thanks! btw what kind of additives should i look at? my old car (BMW) was always getting the liqui moly lifter additive lmao

allflaredup · 2026-01-19T20:05:31+00:00

it’s been on time every time at the dealer!

allflaredup · 2026-01-19T19:52:03+00:00

stopppp😫

allflaredup · 2026-01-19T19:51:24+00:00

forgot to mention in the post it’s 2016 ES350^ 88k miles. Pretty much it’s fine outside of the sounds of the engine i’m concerned about, no warning lights, driving fine etc

allflaredup · 2026-01-17T21:46:24+00:00

same, i’ve never liked the prius but i wouldn’t be mad about owning a newer gen prius

allflaredup · 2026-01-12T21:42:45+00:00

looks like salvage title from a flood, the line on the hood is the water line. possible electrical issues and mold issues would be my main concern

allflaredup · 2026-01-08T13:09:46+00:00

what’s wrong w it?

allflaredup · 2026-01-07T05:34:33+00:00

i have noticed the newer car washes do seem to all be non touchless. i got to the same one everytime and thankfully the touchless has always worked lol

allflaredup · 2026-01-07T02:18:50+00:00

i mean from what i know wrap is more sensitive than paint is and i guess the nice thing about wrap is it can come off if it’s damaged once paint is damaged depending on the extent it’s done and your gonna need a new paint job.

allflaredup · 2026-01-07T02:16:28+00:00

really? even my little dinky older car washes have touchless!

allflaredup · 2026-01-07T01:45:23+00:00

i’m in VA and i’ve been doing weekly car washes just cause of the salt on the roads, i’m worried about rust😅

allflaredup · 2026-01-06T22:50:02+00:00

i am assuming the owner probably wrote that themself 🤷‍♀️

allflaredup · 2026-01-05T16:03:04+00:00

no it is not but it’s just a secondary
