Proceed with caution:

- Back seat looks quite wrinkled for only 45K
- Front seat covers can hide many sins. (But lots of folks in the SW have covers like that.)
- Car is supposedly for sale in Gilbert, AZ but the background looks like spring pictures from the midwest. The grass looks like it's just starting to green up after winter and the trees look half naked.
- I'm also suspicious of supposedly private sellers of luxury cars that take pictures of their cars parked on residential streets. I expect to see the car parked in a driveway or in front of someplace scenic.

The Crystal White with the saddle is probably my favorite combo other than the black interior. The Genesis has the same combo and it too looks terrific.

I agree. The car is from AZ. Wouldn't you want a/c seats? Even if not, why sit on fur? Definately hiding something

I don't know why, but I really hate that shade of leather in this car. It just doesn't jive well with the dark dash/floor and the wood trim.

Saddle is a love / hate sort of thing. It's fairly rare and only available on CL and UL trim, so you don't have to worry about getting "stuck" with a saddle car if you don't want one.

Personally..I think that is the most kick *** color combo ever. Beats the crap out of my grey interior!!! I will say one thing about Phoenix... yet it gets quite hot but the dry air lends itself to the interior of a car cooling off pretty quickly. A lot quicker than my car cools off in San Antonio. ( I have spent a lot of time in Phoenix over the years )

I live in Phx an tried to purchase this car about 2 months ago. I have found a lot of cars with this combo on the east coast but its almost impossible to finance an out of state car. This car in particular I know much about and has a rich history. I carfaxed it and got all the info from lexus about the service history. Its a salvage title from flood damage out of Tennessee, Katrina killed it with only 1000 miles on it. It was towed to a dealer with around 1800 miles on it for a no start problem. It had corrosion on the ECU pins and was damp up to the bottom of the dash. It was fixed and left, at 1000 miles later the navi unit in the trunk went out and was fixed. After a few more fixes it was sold salvaged at auction and ended up in cali where Dave the current owner paid around $40k with only 14000 miles on it. I was willing to put up with all the issues but could'nt get financed. He wants twice what the cars worth, it runs great, clean and is low miles but not worth it. It has only been serviced at the dealer once or twice
I ended up with a beautiful white 04 UL outta carlsbad cali and love it, if not for those damn blown air struts I found a white UL with black interior at Thompson Lexus in PA but it was too hard to get and out of my price range, oh well.
