yea my parents are making me do that. They are gonna right me a check and say it's contigent until I have my mechanic check it out. Damn..I have a 7.50/hour job and I have to pay 1/3 of my insurance, 3/4 of the car cost, and gas. How can i afford to upgrade!

Is a 96 Lexus es300 with 110k miles worth it for my first car? I found one locally that is very clean in and out no scratches/dings/dents and the interior looks like it was just detailed.

KBB has it listed as its worth 6,900.

She has it for sale at 6,500. How hi do you think i should go? The highest i was planning on going was 6k. I'm going to her house in about 30 minutes to test drive and probably buy it. I need info fast!

thank you very much for the fast and detailed reply. Performance upgrades sound very confusing and costly so I will probably stay away from that stuff. I'll just keep everything clean under the hood and let the stock lexus engine do it's thing. I'll just spend all the money I have/make on cosmetic upgrades.

Thanks. And maybe if i can afford it one day ill get the turbo.

Is a 1996 Lexus es300 a good young person car? I'm 16 and this is my first car. I'm going out tomorrow to look at one and possibly buy it.

What are the best upgrades? Performance and Looks. I'm already getting new rims/tires and shifter knob.
