and I am just curious...as I read more and more about the used car prices, I feel like an idiot buying a brand new one..However, I've never seen used car prices like the ones posted here in the Bay Area...

I bought my loaded 2001 Crystal White GS430 (ML/Nav/17" wheels/rear spoiler/etc.) for ~$51K after trade-in of my 2000 Acura TL last September. Not the best price now that the car has been out for a while, but at the time it was a heck of a haggle on my part!

Hello friends, I bought mine 2 weeks agi - Pearl White 98 GS400 with 86k Miles on it (was originally 1 owner) - I bought it with a close friends of mine who is a dealer at a Lexus Auction and paid $25,500 for it - What do you guys think?
Also, what is the difference between the Pearl and Crystal white, if there are any? I read somewhere here that Pearl White is worser then Crystal; something like that?
Oh yeah last thing I also have a built in k40 Defuser Plus Radar ($1,200 value with installation) - Is this really the top of the line system that is out there as of today?
Thank you.
