Well that Brandywine would be anice touch but pearl is always nice... I consider the White on black GS pretty rare but not as Rare as White on Saddle or and GS with Saddle interior for that matter.. I simply love that Saddle over the black anyday

Crystal white on saddle is not so rare. I've been on the hunt for the numbers but as far as rankings, Onyx/Saddle was probably the most common with GGP/Saddle & Crystal W./Saddle are pretty uncommon.

The rarity would be a fully optioned Sport Design w/ heated seats/ML/NAV on saddle. Not many fully optioned SD's as most didn't want to splurge close to $50K for a 300.

Now this is immaculate, fully optioned. If it was an 05 or 02 it would be pretty rare as well.

Why would that be considered rare?

Production #'s for fully optioned GS430's were pretty low esp. 2002 and 2005. So fully optioned GS430's esp. w/ black interior are pretty rare.

A loaded GS430 would run about $55K+

The 2003 color is crystal white. Kinda looks like french vanilla cream. Sorta yellowish. Its a nice white.

And here I thought I was the only one whose eyes go straight to the seat piping when looking at these cars

I think it sealed the deal on buying my 98GS4 a couple years ago (no cracks)!

Anyhow, that car looks great otherwise - especially that paint color.
