Default Black & Saddle CL

You don't see many of these. I have no interest in the sale of the car, but just post it for your enjoyment.

It's a rare combination on the LS430 from what I've seen. It looks awesome.

First interior picture/color is closer to what it looks like.
That is an 05 Custom Luxury as it has headlamp washers and laser cruise. Also in 05, saddle was an interior option upgrade available only on CL and UL.
Just like mine except that one has much better looking wheels and 3k less miles.
Price is steep but it is at a Lexus dealer and I wouldn't sell mine for that amount. love it .

When I was shopping last year, I would take any color BUT gray. Black semi-aniline was my first choice. I liked the saddle, but I knew my wife wouldn't. She also didn't care for ecru or cashmere, but would have accepted them.

What exterior color are you looking for? (Check the FAQ thread for links to the sales brochures to identify the available interior / exterior color combinations for each year.)

It looks really nice in person, that saddle color. I know of three ls430's with saddle interior: two black and one pearl white in Brooklyn alone.

I'd prefer black, white or silver would be ok too.
