The owners.lexus site says its cobalt blue, im not sure where the option tag is, if it has one, most of my research has been done on this forum hahaha

As we face it here on the computer screen, in the lower right hand corner there is a C/TR stands for color and trim. 172 is the paint code and LA85 the trim. So yeah cobalt blue. Transmission is A341E

very cool

so I finally found one that isn't TOO far away. fits some of my criteria.

90, pearl white, grey guts, looks untouched but a little tired. don't know how many miles or what still works/doesn't. its about 100 miles from me and judging by the dust on it, its been sitting for awhile. the sideways tag absolutely SCREAMS poorly maintained...

worth checking out? I don't mind a project as long as it runs right.

I don't know. Looks like both front doors have issues with dings. Passenger side rear quarter panel also has a hit. Blurred picture of inside says it isn't that great. And antenna at half mast tells me it doesn't work. And when they tell you is sometimes stalls after starting tells me you will have a hard time driving it any great distance without issues. I hate when you get craigs list pictures and they are from some public place versus a home. No mileage listed? But, if you had seen what I started with..............

Does it have the options you want? Sure can't tell much from that ad, did you contact them.

no interior shots, miles or mentions that its anything but a 90 LS400, but hey its a start and has factory chromes!!! its 200+ miles from me. paint looks nice but im going to assume its been re sprayed because that rear bumper looks way too nice to be 27 year old paint in the florida sun....

worth checking out? thoughts?

Painted bumpers are an acceptable deal, but not the rest of the car. Are you going to look at it?
