lexusnutt Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hey everyone, I originally bought a '95 LS a year ago...loved it so much and after reading this board, decided to look for a 2000. Was looking everywhere from ebay to Auto Trader for about 3 months but couldn't find what I was looking for. Silver / Gray interior Traction control <50K miles, One owner with full records <$20,000 Not too much to ask for, right?? Wrong! Seems the 2000 year was getting scarcer and scarcer (probably because of the LS460 arrival) Either they were in an accident or generally looked beaten up. Last week, while perusing Auto Trader and looking up the VIN in CarFax, I scrolled to the bottom and there was a "Hot Listing" of my eventual baby! Only 43K miles! I went to the dealer that night and got the price down from $24,995 to $21,300 (told the salesman I would not pay a penny over KBB PPY value). Anyway, it was a little more than I wanted to pay, but the car in in mint condition all the way down to the new car smell. My son gets my '95 and everyone is happy! Lexus and CarFax rocks! Cheers!

OmarG Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Lucky you, lucky son. I think you did good. Considering a new civic costs that much with a couple features. I say awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardona6569 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Great Car at a great price, enjoy! Wash it one day, and the next take it for a long drive and listen to your soul! C. PR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05silverls430 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 That's a NICE car! Congratulations! Had I found one like that, I would have ended up with a 2000 instead of a 2003. That's what I started out looking for anyway... Actually, I wanted navigation, and those are even HARDER to find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexusnutt Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Thanks for the nice comments guys... It's 1 week later and can't stop staring at her. Hoping to hold this for 5 years until I can afford a 460! LS03, you're right about the Nav... It was on my list too! I finally had to give in to the mileage... Cheers, Chaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcho82 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 forget about navi and just pick yourself up a portable garmin nuvi 350/360. THE best navigation on the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
