I would double check the color with the dealer if you are interested in the car. At the bottom of your link, it says the car is Satin Cashmere Metallic. My wife's ES is Satin Cashmere, and is much lighter (and much less gold colored) than this car. My 07 LS is Golden Almond Metallic and looks like this car. Maybe the lighting is making the color look "more gold". To check out the colors, there are many Satin Cashmere vehicles around, not so many Golden Almond.

Good thinking here! Patience in your search will land you the right car. I am seeing a flood of sedans and it is a buyers market out there to get what you want. It certainly is a plus if you like the outside color though, and love everything else. The older series lexus cars with beige coloring comes out weird over time For that reason, I'd step away from them and favor the grey/flaxen/black/brown/red interiors instead. One time I tried to paint a room in the house a light yellow and the tint never came out right or consistently. To make matters worse, it became sensitive to the lighting within the room. The 3rd trip to Lowes was the charm towards a light matte grey and pleasing. Happy car hunting!

After I wrote this, I sheepishly remembered that my car is Obsidian with black leather and Shimamoku trim But the black exterior really suits the car, so I don't really notice the lack of contrast with the interior.

I almost bought a Satin Cashmere LS with a Parchment interior. It is not nearly as gold looking in person as the photos seem to reflect here. It's more shiny beige with a hint of gold. I like the color personally, but is definitely a less desirable color making it easier to negotiate on price I believe. This seems like a pretty fairly priced vehicle based on the options, mileage and the fact that it's CPO. The Ultra Luxury packages do not come available very often, let alone in an L AWD. This one is seriously loaded and a rare find. For reference, I purchased in May a 2013 LS SWB AWD with Ultra Luxury package, 88,000 miles, out of warranty but in great condition and I paid 32K +tax/tags/title/etc. That was a great price for my vehicle as most of the ones I was looking at were 35K+ and did not have UL but had less miles. For comparison, the features that this one has that mine does not: One year newer, Long wheel base, lower miles, CPO, LKA, DRCC.

Hope this helps and that you find what you're looking for. It's worth driving 3 hours to check it out IMHO. I transported mine halfway across the country. Good luck with your search and keep us updated.

I'm three days away (California), and am frustrated that I have a showroom condition loaded '13 LS platinum RW ML sedan for sale, and do not qualify for the Lexus Forum "Marketplace."
Anyone know of the best alternative site to let true Lexus LS enthusiasts take advantage of my offer?
Thanks,
