It would have been nice if the seller would have taken the pics in better light.

This is EXTREMELY RARE. I've only seen one even on the internet. This is number 2! Personally this is the second best interior offered on the LS430. Number 1 for me would be the Saddle/Black. This is #2. No. 3 would be Grey with Black Bird's-Eye?? (the wood that looks like marble, haha) Great find!

Another LS430 anomaly. Cool! Wonder what other unicorns are out there? Fully powered open/close trunk, White interior, Satin-nickel trim? Who knows.

Do they even have that marble looking wood on 04-06? I know 01-03 had it but I have never seen one on the 04-05

Nope. Don't think it was offered on the 2nd Gen LS430.

Bordeaux ??? Must have been Lexus' French attempt at Saddle... the pictures are badly lit. I'm sure the color is not as dark as in pictures but definitely darker than saddle and seems it was an option on CL and UL for 2003. Bordeaux... learn something every day.

If you spill your wine while driving, the stain won't be evident with a bordeaux interior. Using that logic, saddle would be favored by beer drinkers. BTW, does Texas still allow open containers?

i have this color interior on my 01. i own a black UL with this interior. the color is more maroon-ish looking. when i first saw pictures online, it looked pink cause of the flash from the camera. but seeing it in person was different.
