This came across CL in South Florida today. Since the saddle interior is rare, I thought someone may be interested:

Good looking color combo. I like that he mentions the car has been washed and the interior vacuumed...

Always a plus..

 

I always thought the saddle bi-color interiors were really sharp. I wonder why it wasn't ordered more.

 

That is the cream of the crop, any exterior color with that interior is gorgeous. Burgundy / saddle is nice too, so is pearl white and saddle.

 

Thanks for posting that...wow!

 

love the saddle

 

Looks to be a good deal.

I have white/saddle. Love it

 

Nice color combo but it's not an ultra package..

 

No, it's not the Ultra Lux package. For many, it's even better ... it's the Custom Luxury Package - no air bags to worry about.

 

its got that "seared orange" looking wood in it too. not sure what its called but I love it!!! im an Ls400 guy all day and always will be one, but looking at that makes me want to take a closer look at the 430s and not be so quick to write them off. god damn that's a nice car!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah that wood is in black or saddle interior CL and UL cars

 

Someone on here needs to pick this up. doesnt get much better than a black on saddle custom lux. this was exactly what i wished i had found up here.

 

I talked to the guy as I'd be tempted to pick up the car but there are no signs of of timing belt being done, he bought it with 95k and didnt do it and service records dont show it being done either. Also car has a few small issues, like passenger power window randomly not working and driver mirror is going past its unfolding point. He was pretty upfront about everything.

 

Those are pretty straight-forward fixes. If the paint and leather are in good shape, I'd negotiate down based upon these items. That's one sweet, rare LS.

 

From the posts ive seen i wouldnt sweat the timing belt not being done by 90k. most of them look new when they come out with that mileage. unless the waterpump takes a dump i think you can safely wait til 120-150k.

Mirror is any easy fix. i replaced the whole assembly on mine for around 300.00

Power window could just be a regulator going bad. shouldnt be a big deal.

if that car was in maryland id be all over it for that money. Offer the guy 11k and fix the issues and you have a sweet car
