Color combinations - LS430
Im sure some of you know that ive been looking at LS430's lately. Im trying to narrow down a color combo.
I test drove an 04' black with tan. I have been spoiled by my wifes GS430 with black interior so I wasnt sure about the tan.
Then yesterday an 01' just to see if I would like an older model.
I know that I have to have black interior.
The one I drove yesterday was silver with what I originally thought was black interior but it really looked like a blueish black.
What color combos are out there, and more specifically what color exteriors came with black interiors ?

I think it's usually the Blk on Blk, or Slvr w/ Blk int. The white models usually have Tan int. The ivory interiors are very nice, so is the Ash colors.
Are you looking at dealerships in Maryland?
I saw an 06 for $56k Blk w/ Saddle int. The best looking interior I have ever seen in a car. It looks better than my brother's CL500 Blue w/ Tan interior.
Is this the car you looked at:

Im in seattle not DC. I just edited my profile so its clear as mud
The I looked at was thrashed. It must have sat outside in a windstorm. The paint has scratches all over it. The trim had moss under it. The interior looked brand new though.
I would like to find either a pearl white, sandstone or burgundy exterior with black interior. Not sure if I would want the UL or not.
Im going to keep my eye out but im not looking for right away.
I think that I may keep building the 600hp GS and then drive it for a bit before I offload it. That is unless I find a color combo or deal that I just cant pass up.

I'm also looking to purchase a GS or LS 430. I don't trust private parties or mom & pop dealers.
Why not buy a CPO at a Lexus dlr? It goes through the 161 point inspection and they give you a free Carfax report as opposed to a Carfax record check. Plus, a 3yr/100k mile warranty, which you can upgrade to 6-7yr by paying extra.
Do an Advanced Search on www.cars.com and the listings tell you if they are CPO or not. Also go to www.lexus.com and check out their CPO section.
Good luck!

The car I mentioned was Blk ext w/ Blk int trim; front & rear Saddle seats w/ armrests and Saddle door trim. It's not completely Saddle on the inside (dash, carpet, etc).
Sorry about the confusion. Some people call DC "Washington", instead of saying "DC".
Try the searches I mentioned above and see if you find something..or stick with the 600 horses! I wish they made the gs430 in stick. I'd probably marry it if I could!

The difference is that the base LS430 leather is lower grade, but the color is exactly the same shade, plus you get the grey wood trim for the UL/custom with the Ecru leather instead of the blonde wood.
