Heh, love that. Even if it is rare though, it is a a tier lower than the regular GS3...personally I wouldn't be happy about that.

If it was a sports car, then sure.
that's the reason why i didn't even go look at one just like it before i got mine. it's not common, but they are out there.

Maybe the orginal owner had the car purchased with no sunroof and no leather. Maybe the original owner did not want the expensive sh###t

Reminds me of the wife's RX, no leather, no sunroof and no CD player. A real plain Jane model. Rare they are like this but as others have noted, not exactly what you're looking for in a luxury vehicle. I did buy a factory CD player for hers and it bolted right in with no problems. The cloth seats are very comfortable and really nice in the winter, even without the heated seat option. The sunroof missing is no big deal to her.

I guess it is pretty rare then! I am happy. I see no one posting pics, which means they only heard/rumors abut them.

I know they are the most basic gs300 when it comes from the lexus dealers, but I like it. The seats are actually suede type of cloth and feels/looks real good. No moon roof, I don't care at all since it's a more solid car when you wanna go all performance on this car.

I will take some pics soon!

sounds pretty rare, but I agree that it doesnt have as much luxury factor. I really wouldnt want to do without my leather seats or sunroof. Any plans to mod it?

I got no sunroof or heated seat but I have leather. My friend told me about a gs with no leather in NYC which one of his friends had.
