Hi guys, Aussie here
First time poster, long time lurker, previous Lexus was an 07 LX470.
I have been looking to update to a 570, have been looking at second hand cars for the past year or so, have looked at quite a few.
After looking at lots of cars and doing research, I have made my mind up I will be looking to get either a 2010 update, or 2012 update model, the 08 and 09 are a bit old.
My question is regarding trim differences, I have seen a couple of 2010 onwards cars with no wood grain steering wheel? Is there a different trim level between LX570s that deletes the wood wheel?
The only two models I can find from my research is the 'Sports' and 'Sports Luxury', I have searched both cars online and can see photos of them both with wood wheels, I have not been able to find a non wood wheel car in a photo yet.
I really want to make sure I buy one with the right trim level. Perhaps these non wood wheel cars have been in an accident and a landcruiser wheel fitted?
Further to this, I looked at a very early build 2008 car, was light blue with grey trim, this car had no wood grain in the dash or doors... just silvery painted insert panels? Is this legit? I have never seen another.
Thanks for your help
Mike

Found a pic of what I mean
Obviously this is a photo of an armoured LX570, but this is the steering wheel I'm talking about, I have seen this fitted to a standard car in Australia.
Is there a lower spec model Lx570?
