Lexus ES 330 for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Comprehensive array of luxury and convenience features, superb ride quality, smooth and silent V6, advanced safety technology, excellent reputation for reliability.

Cons

Bland driving characteristics, many of the desired features and options are expensive, no split-folding rear seat.

What’s new

A new engine has been fitted -- a 3.3-liter V6 -- and, consequently, the car formerly known as the ES 300 is now badged the ES 330. Besides the newfound power, Lexus' entry-level luxury sedan gains additional content upgrades for 2004, including a memory function for the adjustable pedals, improved navigation system features, power lumbar adjustment for the front-passenger seat, larger side airbags and a maintenance indicator light.

Edmunds says

A supple ride and a gorgeous interior make this one entry-level luxury sedan that you'll never want to upgrade from.

CAR DID ITS JOB PROTECTING HUMAN LIFE...

Rossen, 12/19/2015

2004 Lexus ES 330 4dr Sedan (3.3L 6cyl 5A)

During my ownership I have not had a single issue with the car despite purchase with 206,000 previous miles... I've driven 40-50k miles on it each year for the past 3 years. It has never been in the shop for anything other than oil changes every 3,000 miles, timing belts, brakes, fluids, etc. Engine pulls very strongly and the transmission is smooth. If you take care of these cars, they …

A Perfect Car

lexuslady329, 09/04/2006

2004 Lexus ES 330 4dr Sedan (3.3L 6cyl 5A)

My ES 330 is the best car I've ever owned. It's incredibly spacious and comfortable, and stylish. The wood trim is the best I've ever seen, I can drive for 10 hours without getting at all uncomfortable, and there's plenty of room to stretch out on long trips. The engine has plenty of power and gets very, very good gas mileage. The ride is super smooth and quiet, even on the freeway. I do …

5th owner and never would have known

skrypko, 11/13/2017

2004 Lexus ES 330 4dr Sedan (3.3L 6cyl 5A)

Bought the ES330 with 70k miles in November 2015. its been 2 years since I owned it now. February of 2017 I was hit my a Semi and the car did great without going off the road and stopping in time. Insurance did not total it out. and I am glad!! I have not had any issues with the car but 1. the plastic that connects to the coil has cracked and the car was running on 5 cylinders. I went to …

371,000mi AND GOING STRONG!

David S., 12/28/2015

2004 Lexus ES 330 4dr Sedan (3.3L 6cyl 5A)

We bought the ES330 used, with about 50,000mi. We have since put 321,000 MILES ON IT and it runs like a champ. Trans is just starting to pick up quirks, and we need new rear struts. We have replaced the A/C compressor and 2 alternators, as well as normal brake and oil changes- THAT'S IT. We live in the woods in Florida and our dirt road is punishing, but the car has held up staggeringly …
