Default Mismatched Optioned LS 430?

Hi, anyone here about ls430s Optioned with saddle leather on base package or random options together?

I found a ls430 in my area from Hawaii that has saddle leather and the options of a custom luxury with out rear window passenger shades and heated seats? It has headlight washers and base 17" wheels.

The VIN doesn't pull up any info on Lexus regarding option package or service records?

One of the few things I've learnt in my short time here is that with hawaii cars you wont be able to pull them up through Lexus, and that anythings possible as far as configuration!

Interesting! I haven't seen anyone talk about one off cars from Hawaii on here before. Are they fairly rare? It's Briarwood pearl on saddle. No nav, with headlight washers and fog lights. Traction control, rear sunshade. I'll see if it has dual pane glass and possibly rear passenger sun shades.

Do you by chance have the VIN, Hifiman1? I could look into it for us.

There have been a number of threads on ClubLexus about cars marketed in Hawaii by Servco which also markets cars on other Pacific Islands and in Australia. Not many people buy cars in Hawaii and then later ship them to the U.S. mainland.

Here's a link to the Servco website where you can read about its history and scope: https://www.servco.com/

I found the car and the VIN...the CarFax does indicate that it was a Hawaiian car from new. That said, I am unable to pull any information off of it.
