You can settle most of the purchase from your desk, and the one thing that still needs you here is the back seat. We cover both below, before you shop.

Owning a Lexus comes with benefits beyond the car itself. Restaurants, wineries, a concierge who takes your call. Things you will use on a Friday night, not features you read about once and forget.
And you never have to spend an afternoon here to get one. Through Monogram we price the car, value your trade, add the accessories and take the payment, wherever you happen to be. Then you tell us: come and collect it, or we bring it to you. Your question is probably one of these.
For most buyers, this is a convenience. If you are shorter on time than on money, this is the thing that decides where you buy.
We would still like you to sit in the car once. But the paperwork, the trade valuation, and the payment can all be done before you ever walk in, and if you would prefer not to walk in at all, that works too.
2. The ES is the executive car in the range now
The ES you pick
What it brings
What it means for you
ES hybrid
244 net combined horsepower
Rated 48 city, 44 highway and 46 combined MPG.
ES 350e
307 miles of range
All-electric, rated by Lexus.
ES 500e
338 total system horsepower
Dual-motor, with DIRECT4 all-wheel drive.
Lexus now describes the ES as its executive luxury sedan, and it comes in three forms: a hybrid and two electric ones. There is an Executive Package on the ES, and what it includes depends on the individual car, so ask us to read the build sheet on the one you are looking at.
The back seat is the part to judge from the seat itself. Sit in one while you are here, and bring the person who is usually back there.
3. What should you check before you commit to a Lexus?
Check
Why
Ask us to run the Monogram process with you
If it suits how you buy, it changes where you buy.
Ask what owner benefits currently apply
They change, so ask us for the current list.
Sit in the back yourself
Specs tell part of the story, but your own comfort is the true test.
Bring the person who drives you
If somebody else drives, they should be part of it.
On a car like this, the useful questions are about ownership, so the list is short and every item on it is worth doing.
Come and ask them. Our team will go through the build sheet on the exact car with you.
4. You can do the whole thing from Hilton Head.
What you can do remotely
What still needs you
Pricing, trade estimate, payment option
All of it, before you speak to anyone.
Accessories and protection plans
Chosen as part of the same process.
Collection or delivery
Your decision at the end.
Sitting in the car
We would still like you to, once.
We are across the bridge in Hardeeville, and for somebody working out of Hilton Head, that is a real drive to make twice. Monogram means you make it once, or not at all.
If you would rather we brought the car to you, say so and we will.
5. The ownership benefits are the part people miss
What to ask us about
Why it matters here
Destination benefits that apply now
They change, so ask us for the current list.
Guaranteed reservations and a dedicated concierge, at the partners Lexus names
Useful if you entertain clients, not only commute.
Event access
These come with ownership itself, not with the purchase.
Around here, many of our customers entertain, and a dedicated concierge with guaranteed reservations is worth more to them than most interior options.
Ask us what is current when you come in and we will tell you which benefits apply.
What was it like for people who bought here?
You want your time back
Most of this process happens while you stay at your desk, and we will bring you in only for the parts that need you.
Not only was I able to book a service appointment only hours ahead, but the team did all the work in a shorter than quoted time frame. Super efficient! My service manager Chip is the best. I love everything about the Lexus brand, and it's the safest car I've ever owned.
Remote still means every step is handled here and confirmed with you.
Great experience. I was in for an oil and filter change. The maintenance department was busy. I waited 2 hours, but I was texted in the morning and told there would be a wait. My appointment was at 2pm. I arrived at 2pm.
You pay the price of the car once and it is yours, with no limit on the miles you drive.
Finance
Pay for the car monthly over a term you choose. We show you the rate, the term and the total before you sign.
Lease
A lower monthly payment for a set term and mileage. At the end you return the car, buy it or lease another.
Trade in
We appraise your current car and put its value in writing, as its own figure beside the price of the new one.
Your remaining questions, answered
Buying
Can I buy a Lexus online?
Yes. Monogram is how we do it: pricing, your trade-in estimate, accessories, protection plans and payment, all handled without you coming in.
Can the car be delivered?
Yes. Once the paperwork is done, you decide whether to collect it from us or have it delivered to you.
Can I get a trade-in value before I visit?
Monogram gives an instant estimate of your trade-in value as part of the process.
Should I still come in?
Come in once, to sit in the car. You can do everything else before you arrive, or instead of arriving.
The car
Which Lexus is best to drive?
It depends on whether you drive it or are driven in it, so tell us which and we will narrow it to two. You judge the back seat by sitting in it.
What is the ES Executive Package?
Lexus offers it on the ES, and what it holds is set on the individual car. Ask us to read the build sheet on the exact one and we will go through it line by line.
How do I judge the back seat of an ES?
Sit in it with the front seat set where you would have it, and bring the person who is usually back there.
That answers it faster than any specification. We will have a car ready.
The Monogram process
How long does the Monogram process take?
That depends on your pace, because you set it. It removes the waiting, since pricing, trade valuation, and payment are settled before anyone meets.
Can I change my mind part way through?
Yes. Monogram is a process, not a commitment, and you can pick it up in person at any point.
Coming to see one
Is it worth visiting at all if I buy remotely?
It is worth sitting in the back.
That is the one thing a specification cannot settle for you, and it takes five minutes.
How far does the electric ES go?
The all-electric ES 350e is rated at 307 miles.
The ES 500e makes 338 total system horsepower and uses DIRECT4 all-wheel drive.
Tell us what a usual week looks like and we will tell you which of the three suits it.
People also ask
What is Lexus Monogram?
It is how we sell a car to somebody who has no time to come in. Pricing, trade-in, accessories and payment, all done remotely, and then you collect it or we deliver it.
Can a Lexus be delivered to your home?
Yes. Monogram lets you decide whether to collect the vehicle from the dealer or have it delivered.
How much rear legroom does the LS have?
The LS is 206.1 inches long on a 123.0-inch wheelbase, and the rear cabin is built around the passenger. The measurement that matters is how it fits you, so we put you in the back seat of one.
Can you buy a Lexus without going to a dealership?
Monogram covers pricing, trade-in estimate, accessories and payment online, ending in collection or delivery.
Where do I find rear seat dimensions?
Ask us for the specifications on the exact model, and then sit in it. The figure and the feel are different things.
