Default Black / Saddle CL for Sale w/ Pics

If anyone is interested in a Black / Saddle CL, here is one in Cleveland. I haven't seen many ads for cars with saddle interiors. (I have no relationship to the seller, just pointing out this interesting car.)

I showed these interior pics to my wife and, surprisingly, she said she liked it. I wouldn't risk buying a saddle interior because, knowing my wife, she would revert to hating it within about 2 weeks. This is the same reason I won't consider cypress, briarwood, or mystic gold cars.

That is awesome. I wish I was in the market and could trade my 03 silver for that. I love that saddle interior.

Great color. I'm jealous.

Current bids at 20k, buy now at 35K. I wonder at how much it will go but 35 seams very high for a deal in the states.

saddle interior = fugly is you ask me. The interior doesn't match. The carpet is black, the leather is brown. Just look at the door panels...or the black seatbelts on the brown leather. The color is not bad, but lexus stuck the wrong color everything else with it.

I spotted an LS with saddle interior about a month ago and felt the same way after seeing it in person.

You know, I was thinking the same thing. It's a nice car, no question but, I feel the exact same way with the saddle interior. It just doesn't look right in my eyes.

To each their own I guess...

I agree. Looks all wrong to me. The black carpet and belts looks especially wrong with the orangey saddle color. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I saw a nice black LS on the way home from lunch but it was festooned with those "gold package" emblems, wheel centers, etc - arrghh! But there are people that love that gold stuff so that's cool. That is why they make ice cream in many flavors - all I ever need is chocolate, or peach in the summer : )

i would prefer this interior option to be a browner, more natural looking color. Saddle is too orange for my taste.
