Default How rare is my Lexus...

I'm a honda guy getting tired of my damn prelude and its stupid high milage everything breakdowns...and my mom has an almost mint condition burgundy 1990 LS in the driveway! I've rarely seen some this color (two other ones) and they both had the beige interior. My moms on the other hand had the matching burgundy interior. Even the damn seat rails are a mettalic burgundy...sorry i have no pictures...but its just sitting there because they dont want to pay insurance for another car..so i might consider picking it up in the summer after i start working at bmw..

I have the same thing 90 LS with burgundy exterior with burgundy cloth interior.

I probably have the LS with the least options installed:

No leather
No sunroof
No Nakamichi
No memory seats
No trac control
No air suspension
No auto telescoping steering wheel ( have to manually adjust)

So I have probably the rarest LS...

I've never seen a LS with cloth man. Are you sure that those seats didn't come out of a camry?

Cloth was in when the LS first hit the streets. I was a Lexus salesman back then and to see the LS in leather was a major change. What is even more rare is seeing the old ES250 on the road.

I do agree that your LS is rare as well.

How about putting that bad boy on the market? The repairs will eat a Honda guy's wallet up. LOL!
