Depends on condition and options.
I would say around 15K-16K if it is in mint shape and has Xenon's, 17's, Spoiler, and NAK or NAV. Private party buys are best here... 1st or 2nd owner cars...
There are quite a few at auction in not so great shape that can be had for less.
Great car at any price... Modding is expensive for these cars but there is a TON of parts for upgrade (even CF hoods)
Engine @ 80K is just getting broken in
With 300 TQ you will be happy with your purchase...
Visit www.clublexus.com to read about all the fun stuff you can do with your new ride if you get it. There are guys running in the 13's with a 2800 stall converter and LSD... not bad for an under 20K 4 door luxury 3400+ pound import V8...
Oh yeah, you get a "safe vehicle" discount on your insurance too.

The car has a great accident record with very few deaths... and has front side airbags... like I said, I actually get a safe vehicle discount for it on my insurance which I have never gotten on any vehicle I have owned.
But keep in mind, it is a V8 and expensive to repair. Most small repairs are not to bad if you a mechanically inclined. There are many DIY's and folks over at clublexus that can walk you through and give advice to everything from changing small lights to installing a Supercharger...

Actually, lost the family cat... thanks for asking.
The family is OK with it already... my daughter never liked her much... my wife and I were upset to have to make the choice to put her down but that's how it goes with pets... ran me over $300.00 to find out she was dying of old age (kidney failure) and have her put to sleep.
What sucks is a week later (this week) my dog had to have some minor surgery... $400.00 later... but she is doing well.
So $700 in 2 weeks at the Vet...
