Default Just picked up this - 2004 LS430 w/White exterior and Saddle and grey suede - Rare?

So I just picked up my first Lexus.

2004 LS430 with 147k. Custom Luxury package - one owner - every single service record since brand new from local Lexus dealer.

Getting the windows tinted at 20% this week and already have a set of Blizzak getting delivered later this week in prep for this winter

Since this is my daily driver/winter car, the plan is to keep it stock. Maybe add a set of 19's next spring.

I've heard the saddle interior is rare

Let me know your thoughts!

Have seen that combination once before. Is it common? Absolutely not. Nice find!

Thanks! The color is definitely growing on me. I wanted black but this one was dealer maintained since day one and even with 147k, it drives better than a few of the cars ive had with 70k miles! I'm used to drviving BMW, Audi, and Benz. So far this car has exceeded my expectations. 20% tint getting installed next week and blizzaks in the month or so.

Beautiful car. Best color combo and best option package with the CL! Will you be keeping the 17's?

Yes, using the stock 17s as my winter wheels.
