Is this the car?

If so, it appears that it is a ML sports edition with the wrong bumper cover. It does not appear to have laser cruise in these pics and looks to be missing the headlamp washer switch on the center stack. I would approach with great caution.
Yes, that is the car. VERY GOOD catch! I didn't notice the lack of washer switch. The dealer had me thinking it was a CL. I would have noticed the lack of soft closing doors right off (I haven't seen the car in person yet). It looks like this one is a no-go for me. Must have been in an accident that was not reported.

btw, if you're looking to keep it for a short time and then sell, you'd be much better off with the most popular color. Silver, Black, and White. You're limiting your buyer pool otherwise.

A very nice helpful person from the forum was able to look at the car in person for me today and confirm that it is in fact not a CL, but an ML and it needs a lot of paint work. I'll be passing on it.

First one has too many miles. 60k is my cutoff, otherwise I like it. Plus I think I have dealt with the seller before and he a real peice of work. Second one is too far away. I'm not driving to MS.

Default The color is beautiful

Hi,

I just got my Lexus less then 24 hours ago in a Cypress Pearl color.
It is 2006 GX model with 111K miles. The color is gorgeous and unique. I had two people already told me how nice the color is. I bough this car from a wholesale auction. It is in mint condition in and out, the paint is perfect and it is like new.
