It is fabric, and there is no wood steering wheel! Very rare ES 350....also no NAVI but that's more common.

The price seems kind of high too. $31.4K with 20K miles. I wonder if it was a loaner?

Look at the VIN number, last 6 are low. I bet this is a fleet unit. It hit 20K miles and they pulled it from the fleet. Very well could have been a service loaner.

First time I saw fabric. Yeah, leather comes with the option package. Wow, they are asking a lot of $$ for this car. Maybe because it is rare or they are just looking to see if someone bites.

Geez, I am in the wrong business. The used car business is the place to be. This car wholesale is probably worth $24K. Bare to the bones.

my IS300 has the "suede"ish inserts on the seats. i dont like it, but its a nice sporty touch. no different in keeping clean and there isnt a chance of scratching it.

I think that is leather and there is a serious focus problem on the part of the person taking the pics and no doubt lack of skill in photoshop affecting the end result.

You can get a brand new 08 for the price they are trying to get for that used one, it will sit for a long time at that price.

I do believe that you could get an ES 350 with cloth interior in 2007, not very popular though I would think.
High quality? Probably.

I was in a 2007 ES350, black with black cloth, no nav, standard moonroof. Moved an aquaintance's car at a party - I thought the same thing - WOW - cloth interior / I did not know they even made it this way. Was weird to say the least. They bought it new.

The original LS 400 also came in a very rare cloth edition, I have seen maybe 2-3 of those in 15 years...

This is cloth. My car has a black interior and this ain't leather.

Also, the lacking of wood on the steering wheel also shows this is a base fleet model. Someone will bite on this price, because they won't know any better. I see it all the time in my line of work.

Perfect example was an 07 Taurus and an 07 Ford 500. The 07 Taurus was strictly a fleet vehicle for rental fleets. Now, dealers buy 'em up at the auction and sell them used for a pretty penny. Can you say PROFIT!!!
