What is the blue book value for Lexus 330 year 205?

For a 2005 Lexus ES330, Kelley Blue Book values typically fall in the low- to mid-four-figure range, with private-party sale values higher than trade-in offers—roughly $3,000 to $7,000 depending on mileage and condition. The year "205" seems to be a typo; there is no Lexus model or model year 205.


Model and year clarification


The Lexus ES330 was produced from 2004 to 2006 as part of the ES line, and the most common year referenced when people mention "ES330" is 2005. Kelley Blue Book (KBB) values are driven by the exact year, mileage, trim, overall condition, and regional market. Correcting the year to 2005 helps ensure you’re looking up the right car and value range.


How Kelley Blue Book values are presented


Kelley Blue Book breaks values into several categories that reflect typical ways buyers and sellers exchange cars. Understanding these categories helps you gauge what you might be offered or pay.


Before listing the main value categories, note that KBB values are estimates that depend on your car’s exact details, including mileage, condition, options, and location.



  • Private Party Value

  • Trade-In Value

  • Dealer Suggested Retail Value


These categories cover the typical ways a car changes hands—from an individual buyer to a dealer trade-in, or a dealer who resells the vehicle.
