Hello and welcome to the Club!

You are looking for the 2005 Pebble Beach Edition SC430. That is the only time Lexus ever came out with that color combination. Only 600 cars with this color combination was ever made.

Most of these cars will have around 35-50k miles by now. If they have less, they will be considered "collectors' quality" and be priced accordingly. A car with 35-50k miles has a Blue Book Value of about $35k. WAAAY above your asking price of $2500.

Good luck with your search...

Since you're in New York, I checked out AutoTrader for any available.

Four are for sale in the U.S. via AutoTrader. Three are in California; one is in Paterson, New Jersey.

It has 29k miles, and is priced at $44k.

Looks like it's priced about $10 to $12 thousand too much. The other ones are going for around $31,000. This one has lower miles, but it wouldn't make that much difference.

True.

Like I said, an '05 Pebble Beach Edition should be about $35k with relatively low miles.

Are there any other difference in a PB edition or a NM edition besides color combinations? Is the car the same as a stock model?

Neiman Marcus was only done in 2002 to debut the car. Silver on red; no mechanical changes. No other perks other than exclusivity and first deliveries.

Pebble Beach editions were done every year beginning in 2004, with no mechanical changes compared to regular models. Only special color combinations and different wheels were provided, as well as perks such as matching luggage, culinary gifts, or golf packages. For the 2005 Pebble Beach Edition, blacked-out headlight housings were done. No other Pebble Beach edition has that honor...

I'm an owner of a NM Edition. Only difference is extra set of red floor mats, car cover, center console etched badge. It was initially sold via the NM Christmas cateloge. The unique and rare int/ext color got me on it. Loving it.

Default 2005 Pebble Beach SC430

When I took delivery of my PB, in addition to the leather luggage, there was a second set of floor mats and the standard wheel covers in the trunk. I have 7,600 miles on it now. The only problem I experienced was that the battery would run down if not used frequently or if a light was left on. It last happened about a week before the warranty ran out, and although road service said the battery was ok (after I had charged it), the technician gave me a new battery any way.
