Yeah high mile 90 has a small one just above the radio and ac vent, I think its from a GPS suction cup that let loose and the thing dropped on it there, since it was the step kids car for awhile I'm very surprised he took that good of care of it, he had it for many years and didn't wear the driver seat hardly at all.

Looks great! Mine doesn't have a floor-mounted gas pedal, what's up with that?

201k here on my 95. was 110k when I got it and was absolutely immaculate. 4 years and almost 100k later she is starting to show her age. I take excellent care of her but its a fight keeping the leather good here in the central florida heat and sun. back of the drivers seat is getting bad. center console armrest is really bad. some wear on the drivers door armrest. all accessories still work though. dash has held up perfect, the center stack controls are all still great. none of the displays have gone yet. paint is still smooth and glossy and the car still drives like a dream

Very nice indeed, i highly doubt the 2007+ LS's can hold up this well after 200k miles. It all boils down to the high quality of parts the 90-2000 LS use, even the 430's interior is sub par, they make the parts to last forever. I also mentioned this in the 4gen LS forum and they didnt take it to lightly.

Great looking interior. It has certainly held up better then the interior of my 98. 4 kids under the age of 12 is very hard on interiors ;(

Such a clean specimen man! Mine is at 185k and the seats are starting to get worn.

Your engine bay is super dreamy.

does it help that the seat use perforated leather inserts instead of the regular leather inserts? Also, is the Coach leather quality different than non-Coach edition cars?

Not sure with smooth vs. perforated, I've seen Coach Ed 400's that are torn.
