Default First Lexus.

Well I did it, last thursday I finally purchased my first Lexus. It's a 1998 GS300, diamond white pearl, with all gray interior. So far I'm loving it, it's such a nice, quiet, smooth, and comfortable car. It puts all American cars to shame. It has quite a few miles, 128K so it's not in perfect shape, but it's a great project to start with.

Ownership just keeps getting better, making it harder to want to upgrade. Congrats on the purchase.

Hey if it's not a secret, how much did you pay for the car?

I don't have any pics of the car yet since I washed it and removed some gay sidemarker lights that were on it, and some Lexus stickers that were added. I don't mind saying how much I paid for it since I'll be keeping it for a long time, not like I'm gonna try to make a buck off of it or anything. I paid $9500. Good deal if you ask me.
