Thanks! I actually didn't realize that seats were black and brown until I took a pic, the car has tinted windows and the brown shading is very subtle.
Other options include Comfort Package and Nav/Mark Levinson Premium Value Edition. Stickered for right at $80K.
I feel very fortunate to have found the exact car I would have ordered new...I can't wait to take it for a real drive, so far I brought it home from the dealer and it's been sitting in the garage.

After much research both here and on the Northern California car lots, I finally found a very suitable replacement for my much loved '97 LS400 Coach Edition.
On Friday I pulled the trigger on a ultra clean 64K mile nebula gray 2012 LS460. This one has the sport package and black interior and therefore had all the right colors and options for me, it was truly a best case scenario. It's the first one I've seen with the sport package, I gather it's not very common.
It was a local 1 owner car (east bay) that was traded into BMW of SF. I pulled the service history from the Lexus site, and as expected all routine maintenance, including new brakes.
Since I've been looking hard for a 2010-2012 car for the past month, I saw this baby on cars.com even before they had pics or (or detailing done). Of course the BMW dealer didn't know anything about it, but they were pretty good to deal with...I bought a new '08 335i Sedan from them back in 2008', which of course I have long since sold. I also don't think they knew how scarce a clean 2012 LS460 sport actually is.
??
Now comes the enviable task of selling my very clean 166K mile LS4 on Craigs List. What a great car too, it's been just super reliable over rthe past 7-8 years I've owned it other than same routine maintenance.
and of course without pics, it's not real, so here they are. Eventually I'll take some nice pics with a cool background

And here's my 166K mile LS400 Coach Edition in Opal Pearl. Yes, it's very clean, esp. given it's 19 years old.
