10000 for a 2000 LS?! Wow, that's a steal, in fact I would call it deal of the century! Is there any reason you could get it at such a low price (even w/ the cost of 2500 afterwards)? Did you buy it from a private seller? And you must have very sharp negotiating skills! I mean the trade-in price (per Edmunds.com) is around 14000 for a 2000, and 12000 for a '99. I was looking for private sales, but eventually bought the car from a new car dealer because it had the color I wanted, which is pearl white on tan/ivory. I also like black on black, but already have another car like that, so decided to get a different color. Another combo I would go for is black on tan.
