Thats a decent price for this car. Look around and see what they typically sell for. Of course, if you can get it cheaper great. If you are worried about fixing a few things, spend the extra coin and get something nicer. If not and you like it, buy it. All these little things are neither here nor there when buying a used 11yr old car.

Thanks everyone for your input. The reason I put this to the forum is not so clublexus could make up my mind for me but because all of you have much more experience in these cars so you are able to get me to look at things from different angles. As far as the disagreement over me using "good condition for a 2001", it IS in good condition for the 2001s I have seen on the market, in any make and model. Thats 11 years, 12 in some cases. Once again, the reason I love picking the brains here at clublexus is the obvious respect people here have for their cars. As opposed to most of the world, who really dont. It is of course the worst looking interior I have seen posted here (No, really, no sarcasm) BUT nowhere close to the worse I have seen in person.
Anyway, just wanted to further explain myself and let those who care, one way or the other, that I did decide to get the car and am now a proud owner of a 2nd Gen GS. I got him down to $7500 which is the lowest price I have ever heard of one going for in this area, especially at 102k miles. I live in Orlando and most people don't even know that they went from a 400 to the 430 (which played in my favor). GS300s and GS400s from around 1999 routinely go for $6k-7k here.
Thanks again for everyone's input. I hope to keep interacting with all of you.
