Talking New memeber who just bought a ES300 Platinum Ed (With Pictures Now!)

I finally got my 2000 Lexus ES300 Platinum. This car is so amazing for being a 13 year old car. Ill post pictures as soon as i have a chance. So the car has 73k, and has like 3 scratches ill be taking care of soon. Since the previous owner hit something on the way in his driveway. I'm the second owner and bought this car for $6000. I think i got a deal if you ask me.

Ok guys here are the pictures of my Lexus. Its color is like a gold metallic with a dark gray. The only major scratches is the passenger door, which has two deep scratches ill fix later. And in case your wondering i did NOT buy this car at a Nissan dealer. I cant get my tags till Friday so im rolling with dealer plates lol. The silver Nissan Titan in the background is also mine. Now i have two badass cars.

Thanks everyone. Any suggestions on really good mods? I'm going to do 15% tint since i don't want it to dark. One of my HID lights is low. You guys know where i can get the same kind bulbs? They are perfect bright. Is there also a tuner for these cars? I have one on my Nissan Titan and it makes it driver better.

Excellent price for an excellent car. Congratulations!
I had a 2000 ES300 Platinum series (white/tan) from 2003-2013, and enjoyed many years of trouble-free ownership. I'd still be driving it had someone not totalled it earlier this year.

Just from what I have seen it looks you have a problem with your auto leveling system. That's the extra light on your cluster with the arrows pointing both ways. From what I have heard it is not an easy fix due to there are so many components that go along with that system. Car looks good though.
