Default That's my favorite LS color combo

I have a 2002 silver and black UL. Your UL is my favorite color combo. Photo's don't do Briarwood Pearl justice.

Great car.

Wow very nice ride. I love the LS430s. My boy Al is looking for one right now.

LRoy430ul, and KILLERGS4,
You should check out the NELOC section. I'm throwing a Spring BBQ at the end of March for the people in the MD/VA/DC area. Would love to see your beautiful rides in person.

Don't think my 06 UL has those 3 buttons for memory seats. The only buttons I remember are the ones in the console back there.

It has 70K miles on it but in great condition. As requested I took some pics today after washing it.













Edit: Forgot to add that the original owner had this car custom ordered and waited 5months for it.
..deal in my opinion. To get a car for that much that was special ordered is smething special young'n. I guess this economy is good for used car buying. Car looks mint for a 2004 and its an ultra(looks like an ultra)!!!!!!

A very nice car indeed. The price sounds right considering it is UL and 70,000miles and not CPO(which Lexus won't do once it is above 70K miles). The good thing is that these cars easily last to 200,000miles according to the mechanics at Lexus.
A friend of mine just bought a mint 2004 ES w/ 70,000 miles for $17,000 so you are in the right ball park especially since you have UL. Sounds like you did a good job negotiating.
My question is about the interior color. I have the same interior and so far in this string I have seen it referred to as "Saddle" & "Ecru". Which is it?
When I went to a color chart and looked up Ecru... http://tx4.us/nbs/nbs-e.htm
That is what it looks like to me. Either way...I have the same interior and was given a set of the same colored floor mats by the dealer.
Again nice car and ...tell me where you got yours tinted please, I am thinking about getting a 50%.
Cheers,
Ian

Thanks to all....I have big plans for this car. Going to start off with tints and the SL2vi hookup for my ipod.

Planning on having some $$ for rims and the datasystem controller by summer.
Great car, I know you'll enjoy it. I just installed the SL2Vi in my 04 UL last week. Great device. Got rid of the "I Agree" annoyance and basically installed a 120GB hard drive in my audio/nav system (thru an iPod Classic). Now I have all my music collection in my car. The video also works. It's kind of a toy as it only works at stop with the parking brake on. Installation took me 4 hours and I was guided by Forum comments and photos. I think you'll enjoy the SL2Vi. It kind of updated and completed my car.
