Gold is fine as long as you think you will keep it clean, and waxed. My Lawyer has gold, and never washes the thing.. One ugly car. But like my dear old mum said ,,, "Clean is next to Godliness" So take a look at the seats, and see if you can live with their color too... So many have that light tan, and Both the wife and I did not think we could put up with that on the long haul

NP!
If you are shooting for being different, then your mission will not fail going with that color. Far as seeing LS430's here in ATL depends on what side of town you are on, all i see are blk, white & silver all day. I rarley see Flint Mica and the rest are even more rare, this is a Bimmer-Benz town with Lexus coming in 3rd. (RX300-350 owns Atlanta) When i do see LS430 the drivers are in their golden years, my the looks I get when they see me.

I Have a Flint Mica ls430 here with Ash "gray" seats. Had it been black, I think would have gone to a different car... Just had the 30k maintainance done yesterday in St. Louis. $559.. Ouch. Filters were changed by the dealer I bought it from. Plaza Lexus, said very nice car, and not once did they try to sell me on a new one. The Cherry color is a beauty, and they don't stay on lots long from what i hear. Blue is a diff matter.
Either way you go, buying a LS will make you a happy person, once you get over writing the check. and try not to think of the 30-45-60-75k mile checkups.. LOL

Very observant of you! I didn't want to introduce the new ride until I actually had it in hand. If I did post w/out pics, then hazing, demanding pics begins. So thought I'd keep it on the low-low. Right now she is in a container riding up the Inside Passage on a tug and barge. Arrives next Tuesday morning, I'll probably have to wait until next Thursday to get it out of the yard.
Thought I'd try for some shots out by the glacier and around the marina. Nice backdrops for some photos.
We live in a rain forest here, the largest temperate rain forest in the northern hemisphere, so got to get the right day for pics as well.
Soon!
