Guys, please help me, you always have, and now I need it the most.
HERE IS MY STORY:

I have a 99 GS400 and I have always loved the stock headunit and cd changer and amp. the sound quality is exactly the way I want it. However, just recently, it plays CD's like crap. Too much distortion, lots of static, and the song keeps skipping every minute or so. Its really really annoying.
I drive far distances to work and school and back and the only thing that keeps me busy is the CD's playing.
I thought that maybe the burnt cd's were bad quality or scratched or something, but I bought new cd's, cleaned the Lense with those CD cleaners, and tried many different CD"S. still the same problem.

First I went to the Lexus Dealer, and they told me theres no point of trying to fix it because labour is too much. might as well get something aftermarket.
So then I went to a stereo shop and they suggested aftermarket unit because the LEXUS units are known to turn out like that since they are not meant for burnt shitty quality cd's. So, I said I wanted something close to stock looking, because I love the stock look. they suggested something double din, and I saw an eclipse double din navigation,DVD,CD,etc.. unit that was pretty damn expensive. but it looks nice, although I don't really have that kind of money right now to spend, and I don't want to get a regular cd player, especially single din style.

So what should I do???!!!
I'm in my car for 3 hours a day, and I can't listen to the shitty radio all the time. So should I wait and buy the good shit, or try to buy another lexus cd changer and see what happens, or what.

I was hoping that I could get some expertise in this area and any comments would be very very appreciated!

thanks for your help.
Majid
