Default How rare is a GS in Diamond White with black interior?

First of all, its hard enough to find a preowned GS here in Hawaii but to top that off, it is IMPOSSIBLE to find a white GS with a black interior. I have been looking for awhile now and when in a blue moon a white GS pops up, it always has a tan interior. Was the tan interior the default color or something?

I searched in Autotrader across the country and saw only one GS listed in the ENTIRE nation with a white/black combo.

Lets take a survey here, how many Diamond White GS' are there with factory black interiors? If you have one, how much you want for it??? hehe....

So far have only seen one EVER in Hawaii.............

White on black is like a unicorn. Black on black and silver on black are somewhat common.

White on black and blue on black are two of teh rarest colors. I finally gave up and went with grey. Glad I did... love it.

My buddy found a white/black gs4 but sold it after he did a 2jzTT swap. I wanted to trade interiors with him. White on black IS300 are rare also. When we were buying my wife's IS, it took forever to find that combo. But we finally found one in Cali and had it shipped to Texas.

I've seen a few GS300's with White on Black but never a GS400. Do they even exist??

^^ I have a GS4

From what the previous owner of my car told me, he had to wait 4 months to get the combo. Thankfully for me, he waited.

Actually the black interior is more common at least from the poll results.

I remember seeing a white on black 2GS on my local craigslist about a year ago. He kept mentioning the rarity of the combo on the ad but I thought nothing of it until I saw this thread. They are out there.... just really difficult to find.

Yes they do, our very own 1Sicklex, Mike, had a very nice modded one, with good ole Mr Chef riding VIP style in the backseat, heheh. I cracked up every time he rolled up to a meet. Ah, the good old days.
