Very rare color I looked hard for it, found one in Ohio. The private seller wanted too much for so I passed, Cypress Green, Moonlight Pearl, Flint Mica, Black Cherry Pearl and Briarwood Pearl are rare. Plenty of Black, Mercury Silver and Crystal White out there.

You are right about those rare colors, I'm trying to fine a reasonably priced Cypress Green for over four months, no luck yet!

I think the colors are rare because they're really "love it" or "hate it colors" and personally... besides Black Cherry, all the rare colors are a pass for me.

there was a cheap cheap cheap green ul in nv that i really wanted with low miles but couldn't make the voyage so i paid a lot more for a flint mica ul in nj, but yeah i have a thing for those rare colors and after a flint mica ul i think the briarwood or cypress pearl would be the next best color in my opinion. btw the green was listed right here on the cl classifieds section so see if its still there if you are still looking.

Moonlight pearl with saddle interior is gorgeous! The samegoes for Briarwood. In the ultimate lexus string there is a briarwood ls with big rims and a drop that almost made me weep. When the Pearl color is clean and shiny it looks great.
Saddle and ecru interiors do it for me.
I came close to getting a Flint Mica(but it did not have saddle interior)...those look great as well especially with a light colored interior. I find that when you see a bunch of these LS 430's in a parking lot (no tint) and they have a light colored interior the outer color stands out more.
I bought my car because of the mileage, features, ecru interior...in that order ...I was not going to get black interior...it was either saddle or ecru...
Also note I do not think that all of the cars have the suede interior roof. (at least I believe it is suede)...My car has that and it looks and feels great...can you tell I am biased about the color of the leather?
The only color I dislike is the green.

Cheers,
Ian

you get suede and extra leather for Custom and Ultra Luxury... I like those "rare" colors, only on other peoples cars
I like saddle because it's not lite or dark... medium (perfect)

I believe I saw that exact Cypress Pearl (green) UL online? Didn't it have major paintwork or damage repair to the bumper or something???

I do love the Cypress Pearl color also, but not as much as my ALWAYS CLEAN (lol) silver!

not at all from my communications with the guy (owner) via PM. unless he was just keeping this a secret, but i was not aware of any damage whatsoever from the original FS posting and more personal communications with the seller and i was about to book a plane ticket so i tried to express my serious intentions to him in order to get some honest feedback.
