Default Briarwood pearl on saddle.

Being new to the LS430 this is the first time I had ever seen one of these.

Opinions on this color?

Not sure about it myself.

Nice looking, well optioned and low miles ! The color combo works very well with the body lines , understated but element. That color is also great at hiding dirt so it always looks clean.

Fantastic color combo. If I was in the market I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Highly doubt that it's still on the market. If it were in half the distant to Cali. I'd buy it and sell my current boring silver.

Looks like a nice car but the wheels are awful in my opinion. Should sell pretty quickly over there.

interesting color- does it look brown in person? not sure how to feel about it, but the wheels are definitely impacting my opinion (in a negative way). put the 5 stars on it and do a slight tinting of the windows and it would look a lot better. is the interior custom? odd to see the black bottom (plastic) to the seats and having the seats be a different color- don't think I have ever seen that on an LS.

i don't think the briarwood pearl is as common with the saddle interior but every saddle LS430 I've seen has the two tone interior black plastics, black dash, etc. with saddle seats. Definitely a unique color combo. May not appeal to everyones taste.

I thought it was Lavishivo's UL, but it is a Custom Luxury and not an Ultra. the wheels are a personal choice. lower value to majority of potential buyers. I would like a Custom, but too far away for me. I would have tried to get Danny's Ultra especially with the extra set of air shocks he was very proud of.
