Default Briarwood + saddle + navi found

I found this cherry while looking for something else. It appears that the maintenance has been kept up on it. Not a bad price for the mileage and the exterior/interior combo! I'm thinking about possibly trading my 04 ML black on black for it, lol!

Looks like the previous owner decided they didn't like the original rims, and put 460 rims on it. Bad choice in my opinion. Mixing parts from other model years is amature mistake #1 in my book, and will REDUCE the value to anyone who knows about the car they're buying.

PS...Gary Lang is clueless. They have the exterior AND INTERIOR colors wrong, LMAO!

Wow that is extremely rare. Gold was literally the only color I promised myself I would not get but when I saw mine at a Lexus dealer in Florida I could not turn it down. I ended up liking my old man tan, it stays very cool in the summer and doesn’t show scratches/dirt. Plus the gold that these cars is painted with is a really nice light metallic type that changes color in the sun. It’s not the same color as say, the gold camrys.

Nonetheless the color is still a hard sell but imo that’s a decent price for one (headlights are not so nice tho).

I tried to make mine less old man. But I think my white and black 400s are still cooler looking.

460 has a different bolt pattern than the 430, the wheels on this car are from a mid 2000's GS

Looks clean. no documented wrecks and timing belt and water pump have been changed. Use the rims for a bargaining point if you decide to buy
