Along with all the other reasons FOR choosing Black interior, it is also the most popular interior color on the LS by far (see: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=250205). So I would expect it would help with resale/trade-in value.

I know I'll have many people that will reply that I'm getting a poor deal, or how they got more off, but since I have rarely gotten this dealership to "deal" much, I'm pretty satisfied. I haven't signed the deal yet, but the package I'm looking at is the MSRP package of $71,935. This has the Adv Parking Guidance System and the Lexus Link (I didn't want either), but the other package they are now coming with where those aren't included don't have the Mark Levinson System, which I do want. Anyway, with that said, I've got an offer of $64,997. Again, I realize some might say that is still too high, but I feel comfortable with it. I did see the Smoky w/ black interior and it is sharp! Thanks again for those with thoughts on the black interior.

I can see how that could be a real bonus for you.
Oh, and you can just call me Mikey.

I live in San Diego, so it doesn't get any more "south". I have a black-on-black LS460 and before I had a black-on-black Infiniti Q45. While the Q had some trouble cooling down the interior in direct sunlight, it was never a problem in LS. The ***-conditioner cools the seats down very fast.

I got an LS 460 SWB no ML, no nav, no advanced parking, with bluetooth for $67,000 before my trade in (I did get the basic "comfort package" though.
Comfort Package includes:
- Heated steering wheel
- Climate comfort front seats with heat/cool ****
- Heated rear seats
- Power rear sunshade
- Headlamp washers
I was initially offerred $3000 for my E class Mercedes (good condition) but later I was able to get $4000 for it bringing the grand total to $63,000 roughly after my trade in.
Then again I purchased in May of 2007. Perhaps I did get a decent deal but after reading about some of the deals that other people received I somehow doubt it.
They would have wanted an extra $5000 more for Nav. I just don't use the Nav that much so I felt it would've been a wasted $5000. I'd rather spend that money on fine dining or something. I'm happy with the portable Nav I purchased anyway.
