Default Briarwood / Ecru UL in Lansing, MI

I stopped by Lexus of Lansing and looked at an 2005 Briarwood / Ecru UL they have for sale, but not yet listed online. The car has radar cruise control & PCS plus chrome wheels. I'm not interested in the car because it has 71K miles and is not eligible for CPO. The car is a local trade and is in very nice condition. They want $24K for it.

Good call. Seems a little high for the mileage, however it might be different for that region.

That briarwood is a nice color-rare indeedy

Thats a very nice color combo. Always wanted Ecru but i settled for ash with Mercury Metallic. I paid the same for mine back in sept with 73k. No problems since but i understand you wanting to feel a lil more secure with the CPO.

Another reason I don't want the car is because I don't want a UL. I need the larger trunk for my wife's wheelchair. I also don't want to chauffeur her around while she sits in the back seat and plays with the controls. I don't dare show her a LS460L with the footrest.

Have you tried putting a wheel chair in there?

I remember when I had my GS (much smaller trunk), a wheelchair fit in there with no problem.

I have a UL also, and I carried 2 20"s with tires in the trunk easily.
I was also suprised when I was able to fit a double stroller in there

I'm sure any of her manual chairs would fit, but it also has to do with what else can I get in the trunk and be able to load / unload a chair without unloading other cargo. We usually use a small transport chair when we go out (8" wheels all around that folds up into a 30"x24" size). This type of chair takes up the least amount of space and is the easiest to get through tight doorways.

I figure I'll get a CL or ML that maximizes available trunk space and I won't miss the stuff in the UL package.
