Default Interior / Exterior color question??

Hey Guys

Im having the hardest time finding a 2007 GS350 RWD with 30k or less miles on it. Its been 2 months of searching every car site on the net and I still dont have the car yet. This is what I am looking for...

Will take any of these:
Starfire Pearl / Black
Starfire Pearl / Ash
Starfire Pearl / Gray

Not a option:
Starfire Pearl with Beige - not my cup of tea

My question are:

1. Did the 2007 GS350 come in the Starfire with Ash?
2. Did the 2007 GS350 come in the Starfire with Gray?
3. Will I ever find a Starfire with black or am I just spinning my wheels?


Thanks

I think this is going to be a hard one... and I would probably give up on the search

perhaps you should up the budget a bit and find a used 08 in that range, with this economy, I am sure you can score some deals

as far as I know, there's only one 07 GS owner on here with white on black, it started in 08 that they mass produced this color combo

of all the 07 I have seen in person, probably 99% have beige interior

uggg this is not good news. So its a no on the gray and ash interior for the Starfire pearl.

I assume now that the gray and ash only come on the Glacier Frost Mica and Opaline Pearl. damn it!!

Id love to get a 08 but Im not tring to spend more then 35k out the door.

no no, not saying they don't have it in that combo, just that the chances of finding them with low miles is going to be hard

our resident pimp moderator flipside909 had that exact combo on this 07

I am in a similar situation and cannot find the one I want yet either!

Here is a link from cars.com that has an 07 GS350 AWD Starfire/Black with 5785 miles on it for $36,200

Here is the link:

hmm......I have a black inteior with the readish wood trim, I wonder if I can have my dealer order me some black wood pieces and change it, because there really just 6 pieces total. Does anyone know if it is doable?

Thanks for the heads up, but I didnt mention this at the top it has to be RWD. Just because of the vibration issues from the AWD when lowering the car. I will be lowering it the week I get it.

What are you looking for I will keep a eye out for you?

I am looking for an 07 GS430 in smoke, starfire, blue, or silver with black interior and less than 30k miles. There is only one north of Chicago and it has been on the lot for about a year which makes me nervous.

If I come across the one you are looking for I will send you the link.

yeah. you can change it. but it would cost you your 2 *********.

http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...layCatalogid=0

$800 for the center piece alone.
another $700 for the ashtray and cupholder covers.

and another $1500 for the steering wheel. or you could just go all black leather steering wheel for $600

that wood veneer is expensive!

Dark gray looks nice, but red walnut looks great with the black leather too imo..
btw, lexus japan has that option, black interior with dark gray wood..
