Lol, I thought it was my old beauty too for a min. It is a fairly rare color combo. To my understanding it was only offered in 2004 in this combo. I was very proud of my air shocks... Hahaha, they actually appreciated in value. I think someone in PA picked up my old baby. Would be cool to see it pop up on the forums again.

I called the owner today. They lived in Florida in the winter, left the 430 (wife's car) in Iowa all winter. Now fulltime in FL.

Owner said he would send the carfax. I requested more pics in my email followup, and also asked him if they still have the factory wheels.

Distinctive color/combo that looks very good on an LS430. Found one at a Bay Area Lexus dealer. Came back the next day to buy it but it had been sold.

Thanks Tom. I was kind of surprised that's it's still for sale. I really want black, but the saddle inside is tempting.

Just saw this 82K mile '04 UL, Cypress Pearl on Ecru.

Maybe #5 for you?

Husband said his wife had special ordered it.

Skip, you're tempting me with all of these 430 gems. I like the unique, distinctive saddle interior which would add to the collection. This UL is also very nice with the ecru interior.

The 430 is great in any option package, but to get a low mileage, clean, one-owner, well-maintained, rare color combo, CL (preferably) or a UL is the ultimate purchase, imo.

Tom,

Keep buyin' them up!

North America needs a LS430 museum.

I will make my usual max donation via paypal (limited to $10 for 'security purposes').

Has anyone tried to sell a car using CL classifieds? Any success?

The Briarwood with saddle interior - Custom Luxury - 74K miles, 1-owner, Ft. Myers, FL car is now being offered private sale at $11.5K. I haven't seen the maintenance history, but that is a terrific value.

Tom,

Agreed.

I never got a response on my email a few days ago, so I sent him another one a few moments ago.
