Default New GS300 owner here!

A little over a week ago I picked up an 02 Lexus GS 300... paint color is "mystic sea opalescent" - haven't seen ANY that color around town at all. Is it uncommon? However, I love the car! I've already got the windows tinted (limo on all the back, 35% on sides)... and who knows what next? It's got 68k miles, but from what I understand this 3.0L 2JZ motor will run forever. It's completely loaded as far as I can tell. With brand new Goodyear Assurance tires all the way around (highly rated on Tirerack.) For those of you that have bought these or been looking, what do you think a fair price to pay would have been? Just want to see how I faired.

Happy be a member of the Club!

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! I'll get some pictures posted soon. Everytime I get into the car I don't want to get back out of it. Finding excuses to drive places is a sure sign of something good, eh?
