niceee I'm in the springs/creek area so we get a lot of those older boca drivers that really shouldn't be out on the road.

I'm not sure if I got a fair price, personally I am happy and content with it considering its use and condition but I'm curious what would you guys pay for a car of this nature. I can honestly say it is in perfect mechanical condition, interior is indeed flawless without a single chip scratch or anything. Exterior has a few scratches on the bumper and side but nothing horrifying. a 2001 GS300 12k miles, L-Tuned package No navigation, 6 disc CD changer (which is probably std)

Nice car. Great find! I would say you probably paid $17,000 for it.

It's got a max of ~oil changes in the last 12 yrs? I do more oil changes in 1 yr.

Here's little background on the L-Tuned that you have:

awesome thanks for the L tuned info I'm surprised google didn't return distinct info about it. Interestingly some guy followed me the other day during my lunch break and when i pulled into my job's lot he had to say i had a nice car and shouldn't talk on the phone while driving (as he was recently in an accident while on the phone running a red light and nailing somebody) it was unusual but i thanked him.
