Default Colors Again

To continue my post above, I really think the Lexus GS Screen Saver hypnotized me in to wanting Silver/Black. Per 2 diferent Lexus dealers, it is the most sought after color combination across their product line. Have you noticed all the Lexus ads around Christmas were of Silver vehicles?

If I had to do it all again I would go with exactly what I have today.

Black Exterior with Saddle Interior.

I searched for it roughly for a year.

I am about 99% sure that they don't offer the Saddle interior for the GS430s.

And to answer your question about the price hmmm I say low 20s for a 2002.

Good Luck.

Default ...bought my '01 GS430 in Nov-05...

I bought my 2001 GS430 in early November, and with 81K miles on the odo, mint condition, with HID's, OEM 17's and Nav, I paid $19.9K (Silver/Gray)...it's pretty sweet (needs an intake, pulleys and an exhaust though :-))

Is Saddle beige or rather ivory? If so, Lexus has offered it every year. I personally looked at several GS430's with it. Just check out eBay and you'll see it is more popular than black or gray.

saddle is not Ivory interior. You could only get it on a GS in certain Sport Design GS300s. It's also avail on SC and LS.

I, too, did not know this color was offered in a GS. Why does Lexus call this color Saddle? As for meeting up with you guys, I plan on doing the Maryland meet, weather permitting.
