Well that Brandywine would be anice touch but pearl is always nice... I consider the White on black GS pretty rare but not as Rare as White on Saddle or and GS with Saddle interior for that matter.. I simply love that Saddle over the black anyday

Laugh out loud

Crystal white on saddle is not so rare. I've been on the hunt for the numbers but as far as rankings, Onyx/Saddle was probably the most common with GGP/Saddle & Crystal W./Saddle are pretty uncommon.

The rarity would be a fully optioned Sport Design w/ heated seats/ML/NAV on saddle. Not many fully optioned SD's as most didn't want to splurge close to $50K for a 300.

Now this is immaculate, fully optioned. If it was an 05 or 02 it would be pretty rare as well.

Why would that be considered rare?

Production #'s for fully optioned GS430's were pretty low esp. 2002 and 2005. So fully optioned GS430's esp. w/ black interior are pretty rare.

A loaded GS430 would run about $55K+

The 2003 color is crystal white. Kinda looks like french vanilla cream. Sorta yellowish. Its a nice white.

I think it sealed the deal on buying my 98GS4 a couple years ago (no cracks)!

Anyhow, that car looks great otherwise - especially that paint color.
