Hello all,

I'm shopping around for a Silver GS400 and ran into a Platinum edition model which was not quite as bright a silver than their traditional Millenium Silver Metallic. Also, it was not quite as dark as the Burnished Gold Metallic. Does anyone know if this was a special 2000 model year Platinum edition color?

Thanks in advance.

Platinum edition cars came in a few colors (most notably black, white and silver)...I thought that the Plat Edition Silver was Millennium Silver. I know over the years there have been a few iterations of Silver (some different tinges of color added)

Correct. Platium edition is Millennium Silver.
This is a darker Silver staring with 2000 cars.
98 and 99 came in a more real silver.

98 99 had one kind of silver
00 and up (Platinum and 'regular') had Millenium Silver

I see. Thanks.

Here's a picture (if I can do this right, I've never attached a pic before).

The ad also claims "gray/tan leather interior." I thought Silver GS's only came with either gray or black leather?

hhhmmm. I had a Y2K GS400 Platinum Series. I thought mine was a darker Alpine Silver. I compared my color at the 1st Clun Lexus Meet at FBF. & mine appeared to be darker. I just got a new GS430 & the Millenium Silver on my new GS appears much lighter in color with more mettalic spec.chips in it. hhhmmmm OH well

Yes, Paul, that's what I'm talking about! On the dealer lot you can tell that the y2k Platinum silver is darker than other silvers on the lot.

I just wanted to confirm that this was the case!

Thanks.

I got a 2002 gs300 in silver and it was parked next to a pre owned Alpine silver. I was pisted I excepted mine to look like that silver. I mean I like my silver but I liked the alpine better. Why would they do that. In some light it looks taupeish (beige). I hate when people think thats the color of my car..

The 98-99 GS had Alpine Silver (IMO better looking silver)
The 00+ has Millenium Silver (silver with a hint of gold)

Platinum is the same as Millenium.
