Its just a rare Combo as everyone mostly favors White Ext. and BLK Int. = not many produced is why people came up with a term a "Unicorn"

Other colors such as White/Saddle or Grey/Saddle, BLK/Saddle is considered Unicorn too. BLK / BLK is rare too but not considered Unicorn.

a White on Black 400 is pretty rare. I still dont understand the term "unicorn" though. Does a "real" white unicorn have black blood and muscles under its skin?

A unicorn is a rarity , non-existent. Lexus like these are so rare people hardly ever come across them. Hence the term unicorn

Kinda pricey? That car is stupid cheap considering the mileage! It says driven in summer months only (PA car so rust would be a concern). So long as it isn't a Sandy victim it is an incredible buy.
