but keep in mind the mirrors are not "automatic" in a sense that you need to press a button to fold them in. they don't fold in when you shut off the car
reverse tilting side mirrors are on all gs i think, that's too standard and basic
rear sunshade, i guess it's an option but if you get a car with ML and nav, i would think they have it already

I'm in the same boat with varcity64. 07 GS350 in glacier frost w/ black interior, ML/Nav. The combo I absolutely love. Don't settle. Get what you want the first time so no regrets. Good luck!

Here in the Western Region, White w/Black interior for the 06 or 07 GS300/350/450h/430 was special order only. There were more White w/Beige than White w/Gray. I had an 07 GS350, and at the time I was shopping in the summer of 2007, White w/Black in my region was special order only. For 2008, there were allocations of White w/Black interior for both GS350/460 and special order for the 450h. For the 2009 allocation, i've seen more White w/Beige around. I have only seen a small handful of White w/Gray and no White w/Black.
The car you are looking for is not a popular combo for dealerships to receive in their allocation. If you happen to find any white w/black interior whether pre-owned or new, jump on it fast. Waiting for the 2010 will only leave you with very very slim options.

Look outside this area if you have to have one. You probably will have to travel or have the car shipped, but if you have to have that combination, then that's the price you pay...Just did an Autotrader search and Woodfield Lexus in Chicago has a white on black 09 GS350, buy your plane ticket and do a road trip!

Pay attention to this guy, he knows what is what. Black interiors are NOT popular in Florida for obvious reasons. They may not be on the SE distribution, or they may not be ordered by the dealerships. Right now, no Lexus dealership is ordering much inventory due to the slow sales. They are certainly not ordering cars that they think are slow sellers. Just because you want one does not make it popular Look outside this area if you have to have one. You probably will have to travel or have the car shipped, but if you have to have that combination, then that's the price you pay...

Starfire and black is the rarest 3GS you can get. in the summer of '07 i was looking for a white car with black interior as well, and wasnt gonna buy unless i found it. i was looking for a Glacier Frost with black (which is the 2nd rarest version) and it was nowhere to be found. i was calling dealerships out of state and anywhere that i could get a $150-$200 one-way flight. no one had it.
took me 2 months of searching and i finally found it!!!!
im glad i waited. i love it..........and not many people have the color combo.

this would be one of those times that you leave work early or get "sick" and take care of something that will probly not EVER come up again!!
i would suggest going in ASAP. keep your cool at the dealership and dont let em know that you cant live without this color combo. they'll screw you on the price.
good luck and post pics.
