If this is the car you are looking at, two items:
- You may be able work a bit on the price since it is a premium and lacks nav.
- Check carefully for paint match as silver is notorious for having paint match issues if a bumper (or anything else) was repainted.
Good luck.

I also don't care for the gray interior or the nav functionalty. (I need to spend some time with the nav when I get the car back from the shop.) I wanted the bluetooth, but the integration with the voice commands is lacking. However, I don't care for the looks of the non-nav dash plus I wanted the rest of the CL goodies. The nav came along for the ride.

I have had bluetooth with a variety of different phones and it never seems to work very well so I am pretty much done with it. I love it when it works. What is the CL package? I am only familiar with UL and ML...

CL is custom luxury - ML plus more leather trim on dash, doors, & console; upgraded leather (semi aniline or "comfort"); suede headliner; laminated side glass; power door closers; and headlamp washers. Basically, everything in the ultra luxury package except the air suspension and rear seat upgrades.

Oh yeah... the CL is quite a big upgrade from the ML, without the "ultra"ness of the UL trim. If you're never going to sit in the back, and don't really care for the air suspension, then CL is your pick.
I picked CL and it's top of the class for me. I have enough air in me, don't need it in my suspension...

I am assuming CL. It has the plate around the emblem on the grill and headlight washers. I did not see the air suspension button...

The listing on that white / tan 05 says the color is parchment, which likely means moonlight pearl. (Too bad they don't have pics up yet.) If it is a CL, it will have headlamp washers on the front bumper and no rear seat radio, climate, and seat controls on the rear center armrest. (The plate around the front emblem is the cover for the radar in the PCS system. That's an upgrade from the base CL or UL.) The interior is probably ecru, which is light beige / off white. If you want this car, I'd make sure to buy it CPO as the radar system is expensive to repair.

The leather on the console and lower dash is NICE!!!!! The headliner looks like the headliner in the other LS models though... maybe just my untrained eye.

They are working the paper on the 04 as I type. clean clean clean!!!
I guess I will just have to get used to the gray interior. could be worse I guess.
