Hey,

I just purchased this ES330 sport design yesterday. I also recently purchased an LS430 sport package.

This seems like a good ES330 but the CD changer doesn't work. Apparently it has CDs jammed in there.

It seems to have the sport design rims, interior wood, sport design emblems, floor mats and such but it doesn't have the HID headlights, mark levinson or the rear sunshade which I thought was standard on the sport design?

Anyway here's a pic I took a little earlier. I'll try to update with higher quality pics later.

The only thing that is missing from that list is the mark levinson audio which was standard on the sport design. I believe the rest of those were options. As for the rims, those look slightly small from the picture, they should be 17"

How can you tell if you have a "sport design" ?

it says SD on the doors [same logo as 2gs], the mats have it. It comes with the SUPER RARE blackwood trim in the car, as well as the charcoal wheels, once more, a-la-2GS.

Also, that color if I recall, is limited to the SD cars, its a cross between the silver & charcoal colors lexus offered in those years.

This car does have the blackwood trim, sport design written on the fender, the black chrome rear emblems, the wheels are charcoal colored but the center cap are worn out. The car also seems to have the right paint.

It doesn't have the 17 inch rims.

After reading this thread here it appears that even mark levinson was optional. Seems like 16" was also the right size for the sport. I thought I remembered reading it was supposed to have larger rims. Ah well, I can always change rims. It has a nice set of michelin MXV4 all around so I may put that off for the future.

So I have a 'base' model sport it appears. Handles great for an ES though.
