Default My new to me White on Saddle

After about 3 months searching for an LS, I narrowed it down to a custom lux with black or saddle interior and this is what I ended up with.

04 Crystal white on saddle, CL, 79k miles, one previous owner

A few pics I snapped with my phone last night. I'll take some better ones after I get the windows tinted this weekend and clean it up more.

That is an extremely rare color combination. It's so clean.

OEM or oem rep 18" sport wheels to come soon. My first choice of a car was white on black but there was one in the entire country for sale but way overpriced. This was a close second and I love the rarity compared to a more traditional color combo.

Does Saddle always come with the black trim and darker wood? It looks great as is, but I would probably go with the Cashmere colored trim and wood with the saddle seats if possible.

Since saddle is only an option on CL or UL cars, the wood trim in those is the burnt edged wood.

Great find. Welcome. I love the saddle as well. I purchased one myself. Have not seen many white or black on saddle. Lovely. I have only seen one briarwood pearl on saddle; mine.

This forum is a great resource. The FAQ threads have a lot of info and don't forget to use the search function.

I actually found a briarwood on saddle in my search but it had been wrecked and some awful drivers seat wear.

Your in GA too. Nice. What part? I knew there were more out there. Was it an 04 too? I think this combo was only offered in 04.

Wow Greg - what a beauty. I just looked at a 2004 with about the same specs and price, but yours is insanely clean.

Congrats
