Question Unique SD find...

I never knew these came in anything other than a black interior [saddle is the exception] let alone a grey leather interior with blackwood! This car seems to have the standard issues 6spokes, BP emblems yet the fender emblems are one's i've never seen before, typically its the little winglets, but this is a square emblem. More details found on eBay

Pics for clicks;







I personally hate anything other than black for interior trimmings, but this grey has grown on me - it reminds me of the 'ash/grey' combo's commonly found on the later 3GS models, ahead of it's time I guess?

Thoughts?

That's the platinum edition and looks like some one installed the black wood trims plus sport design stuff.

Thats the same interior as my '02 black SD... I WISH i had a black interior ! I plan on swapping it out with black leather in a year.
If you buy that car, make sure you condition the leather and treat it regularly because the seats in my SD are hard and torn but that could also be because its 11 yrs old and 161k miles later.

The '03 SD is the only one that came with the "wing" fender badges, if I recall correctly. The earlier ones had the rectangular badges.

My opinion: The tan/grey interiors just don't stand the test of time as well. The black still looks fairly modern but in the lighter colors it looks pretty dated. Kinda reminds me of my dad's old '98 Avalon.

I test drove one just like this from Metro Lexus in cleveland. The gray interior looks a lot better in person than it does in pictures. That being said, i am glad i waited for one with a black interior, it just looks a lot classier in my opinion and has a nice contrast from the silver. I have the badges somewhere, but off the car. If i can find them ill send them to whoever wants them if you pm me.
