Default What colors are the 98 GS4?

What colors did the GS400's come in int their first year? What is the most beautiful color in you guys opinion? What's the rarest color? What color do you guys suggest?

I can only answer the last question for you--I suggest whatever color gives you that tingly, smile-inducing feeling. You can't rely on other people to tell you what turns YOU on!

I would guess the rarest color is the mica blue with black interior, I have only seen one with this color combo at my dealership and it came in a week after I baught my car , when they told me that they dont have any comming in any time soon

You should be able to get the names (though not accurate rendition of the actual colors, at least on my screen) either on Edmunds Used Car board or at Lexus' own web site. Lexus will obviously have numbers of what colors/combinations sold in what year, but I've never seen them. I agree that blue mica is probably the most uncommon.

But how can I tell you what ought to be your personal preference??

I always like the Cinnabar pearl and the Blue....with Ivory....if it was my choice I'd get the interior in white....that would be nice.

After just picking up a Spectra Blue(now my fav color ) GS let me tell you, pictures do not do the color justice! It is amazing. Only 5% of all GS's were produced in the Spectra Blue Mica finish.

i have da blue and just the color alone was enough to buy it without getting all of the options i wanted
when i first decided to buy a gs4
i wanted
blue on black
17 in wheels
nakamichi
rear spoiler
about 45k
and xenons
no gave cause from 98-00 it looks like **** in tha dash
so i went to lexus dealership and told them what i wanted and they said they have no clue as to when one would come in
so decided to go go to a used car dealership that could go to the auctions and get one
well after waiting 2 months i changed to black and all of the options except nav to make it easier
then a week later i called to see if he got the car and he told me no and that he had a blue one with none of the options but the spoiler
so i went down and checked it out anyway
it had:
35k which was a plus
rear spoiler with no brake light, a major plus
and the interior was immaculate,also a plus
and the blue on black was just so tight i had to do it
so he knocked $500 of of what he quoted me before and that was cool cause of the low miles and condition of the car
well anyway to answer your question
blue is the best
black is 2nd
silver is 3rd
then white
and cinnabar has always been the car i see dealers trying to get rid of by giving a lower price than a comparably equipped car in any othe color

Silver and white are my top 2 choices.

Lately though black has been growing on me especially if you plan on modding(rims ,bodykit etc.

I think a nicely done black gs when kept clean is really nice.

Most important in color choice though is what you like.

Its like the question'whats your favorite color' Only you can answer that.
