Well.. Momma wanted a luxury sedan.... when it comes to cars I can be a bit frugal... (OK.. I'm a cheap-ass)
Did not care for the ownership costs of a used BMW, BENZ (not saying I don't LOVE the look of that beautiful roadster above) , AUDI; Reliability and fit/finish on domestic (Cadillac/Lincoln) was sub-par; do not like Acura (Honda) and Infiniti (Nissan)... Pretty much left us to look at Lexus (Toyota).... Took a while to find a car to our liking.. low miles, one owner, excellent condition... and reasonably priced...
While browsing the classifieds I found a 2001 GS430, with 18,609 miles (yup... less miles than my 09 SERG) at the local Lexus dealer... This car ran drove and feels like a brand new car. Dealership did the 20K service, and put new tires on it to replace the 10 year old OEM Bridgestone tires as a safety precaution.
Car has a couple of small cosmetic flaws.. but acceptable for 10 years old. Momma is happy... so everyone is happy... and I get my truck back!
Oh... pics..
