Ever since I wrecked my daily driver awhile back, I have been looking for a new car. My mom keeps helping me and has given me a $7K budget to buy a car. So I am trying to find a car that she would love to drive. I am currently looking at a 1998 Lexus GS 300 with high mileage. 145K, needs some body work (bumpers need paint), lots of options, but leaks a little oil. Since it's a 2JZGE I have a fairly good idea of where it's coming from. I could find an economy car, but want something luxury oriented that my mom could also drive around without feeling cheap. Should I be looking at anything else, or is the Lexus a sound investment?
