Default 98-01 GS300's with black interiors?

Im searching for my next car, a 98-01 GS300 and Id love to get a black leather interior, but it seems like they only come on Black, and or silver cars.

Is it possible to find a pearl white with black leather interior?

Im so suprised how many GS's are equipped with the tan leather. It seems like 90% of all GS's Ive seen come with tan leather. Theres nothing wrong with tan leather, but its not my first choice.

I looked for the right GS for months and months and eventually found my current black on black. It's extremely difficult to find white on black.

I would have loved a white on black gs, very classy looking combo. I got a black on black, and I'm happy with it. I've had many black cars, and they are hassle to keep looking good, but since it's not my daily driver it didn't really matter.

Black interior in excellent condition was my #1 priority, I didn't care about mileage or exterior wear and tear. I rather fix and repaint the car than piece together a full interior swap. But I got lucky and found a car that was close to perfect all around.

Don't get me wrong the tan interior in these cars is very nice. But just a color I personally did not want.

Wonder how much it would cost to do a conversion? Tan to Black Interior?

oohhhh,ohhh <raises hand> i know, i know....


prices vary depending on condition

cheapest i have been offered was one for 1200 (delivered to my door personally, and i still kick myself for not getting this 2 years ago) and highest i have seen is 2.5k-3k.

i almost bought one last october for 600 (although it wasnt 100% complete it was 98% complete) but i couldn't secure the shipping or a local member to go get it for me or to go look at it to confirm it was complete and in good shape (it was on craigslist but i emailed and talked to the guy on the phone SEVERAL times just couldnt ever work out the shipping)

AVERAGE price these go for is about 1400-2000 again depending on condition of the interior
