So I have been a member on clublexus for some time now, especially considering I still crave for an LS but still do not own one. I know they are very reliable machines.

I would like to see how the interior of these cars are holding up over the longer term. I'm a big guy and I beat up the interior a little more than most, but lets see some picks of the wear on your interior...hows it doing?

Thank You!

I have an 04 with 31,000 miles on it and the interior still looks new, with that being said i'm only 160lbs so my drivers seat is still minty. i'll get some pics up later on.

Id suggest not getting the ivory leather interior. While it looks beautiful, it does start to show dirt/oils from skin etc over time.

re the Ivory interior,, have that on my 05 Ultra and 33K on the meter,, as long as you use Lexol a couple times a year the leather will continue to look like new,, I'm 6'4" and weigh 235,, not hard on any of my cars but they still look like new after the 70 to 80K I put on them before selling,, always have sold to the first person looking,, from beemers to benz,,

sorry no cam recorder to show you my interior,,

Sorry, but got to say with almost 70K miles, I am proud to say this baby is still looking brand spanking new...
However I do have to say that I have not taken care of any car like I have my Lexus..

Cory, I to am a big man and have to say this car is so comfortable to drive long distance's more than anything I have ever driven before. There are so many seat setting adjustments, it is absurd..

Buy one , Buy one , Buy one.......

I have a 2001 UL with around 114K miles and ivory interior. I am the 3rd owner and I believe that the first owner was a larger fellow. That being said, the seats are in pretty good condition.

Boomer, do you regularly have the inside of the car detailed? How often?

How about the steering wheel and shift ****, how are those doing?


I really really love the Ivory with the lighter wood trim. I'm personally not a fan of the black interior as much. My current car has black and it does still look pretty good, but I'm tired of it.

I would go black leather if I could find the grey wood trim....those are nice. I think I mostly don't like the darker stain they use on the wood with the black guts.

I have only had the car for a few months and have only wiped it down with leather cleaner once. I doubt the leather was detailed much or any before me either. The leather on the steering wheel is in great shape but the wood trim around the wheel has a few small cracks (probably from sun) but it is not bad. The leather around the shifter is slightly worn, but what can you expect after 114K miles. I love the ivory interior with gray wood and it seems to be holding up pretty well.

You can sort of see the condition of the wheel and shifter in this picture:

I love the ivory interior. But something tells me that the black interior will look newer in a long run.
But if I find a pearl car with ivory interior, I am going for it. It is a super boost of mood to get into a sunny car every time!

when I had my 01 ultra with the silver/black combo and the reddish tinted wood it became depressing overtime because of the the endless black. yes it always looks clean but the ecru interior is awesome looking all the time. I am thinking that when my lease ends on my current IS I am going to try to find an 05-06 ultra with either ecru or saddle interior. damn I am missing the LS now. nothing wrong with the IS but it is NOT and LS. damn
