Default Saddle Interior on non UL?

I found on auto trader there is a 2005 LS430 for sale with saddle interior and no UL package. I thought saddle is only available in UL?

be careful with this. when i was searching for a UL on autotrader i came across approximately 5 of them (2 at the same dealership) that claimed the interior was either saddle or ecru, and when i called and explained that i was only searching for the UL and wanted them to check before i drove all the way down there they kindly told me that it must have been a misprint on the ad and that they were not UL's. i found a web page that explained all the options, packages, year model variations of the ls 430 and it claimed on that page that the saddle and ecru only came on the UL.

I could be wrong, but I remember seeing a saddle interior on a black LS430 when I was looking. It was in Maryland and by time I inquired about it, it was sold. The price was really good, like $25K.

Thanks for confirming my vague memory...

I remembered the saddle being with a Custom level because that's what I was looking more towards when I was shopping and I saw and called the person within 5 min. of seeing the ad... but the car was sold "2 weeks ago" and they just did not update the site yet.

Ended up getting black on black, which I don't regret. More "conservative" and not flashy. Don't want people breaking into the car and stealing the seats.... ha ha.

There has been a nice 2006 Custom Lux on craigslist sfo with the saddle interior, with the Cypress Pearl exterior. 32k miles.
