Default Help with color selection !!!

I am trying to decide which color for my first LX570 and need your help .

The 2 colors I am considering is the Starfire Pearl and the Gray Pearl .Both come with either the black interior or the Parchment .

Can you guys post some pics of both Exterior colors and answer if the Parchment interior is hard to maintain.

the Trucks I am budgeting are in the 2013-2015 range with 70 K average mileage range .

I found one 2013 with 94 K Parchment but the leather was cracked and worn like I would have to replace to get the Wife to accept .
Another one 2014 Parchment color seemed brand new with 77K on the Clock how strange .

I found a 2011 Gray Pearl in town in the wild and the Paint was stunning with Black leather and of course being so dark did not show any wear !

I wish i could afford the newer model 2016 but does not fit the budget right now !

At the time I bought my 2013, every LX (supposedly) in the Southeastern US inventory except one had a parchment interior. My dealer found one with black in Miami and swapped it for me. I had to wait about a month for delivery but I am glad that I held out for the black interior. My previous LX had parchment, and it was a battle to keep it decent looking. I do use the LXs as horse trailer pullers, and farm manure haulers. Black is way more functional, and IMO looks better.

Can't help you with exterior color pictures as five of my last Lexuses have been Nebula Gray. Lexus and Toyota share exterior color paint codes and from time-to-time the same paint color goes by a different names depending upon the year and model.

I just bought a 2013 Starfire Pearl and black interior. This combo is stunning and was worth the wait holding out to find the right one. I see a lot of Parchment interior LX’s as well. Parchment has its benefits, the light interior makes the LX feel more warm and open. However keeping it clean is tough and the black leather seems to hold up better and isn’t prone to dye stain from blue jeans etc.

Cant go wrong with the Nebula Gray as that was on my list as well but a fresh clean Starfire Pearl on a big Lexus body SUV really stands out in a crowd.

I just picked up a Nebula Gray with black interior. I had a star fire pearl GX, so it was time for a change. You can't go wrong with either color.
