Default How rare is a black interior on a RX330?

I've been dying to ask the questions since I got mine. I do have a black interior but I don't see many (1 to be exact) that have a black interior. The rest have the light grey or ivory interior color.

Is it because I'm in the south, or because there were just fewer made. By the way, I have the dark grey color, Flint Mica.

I want to take pictures because I see so few stock RX pictures on CL.

Default Black Interior

Look on e-bay
There always seems to be one or two RX's listed with black interiors.
Looks like black interiors were available with most of the exterior body colors.

Didn't know if someone had information on production numbers. I've seen on other sites where they tell you the % of each color, interior, and then with different options.

Interesting information for us car buffs. It also helps if you ever tried to resell it since you could say that there are only x% like yours.

I have always like the black interior and my RX is no different.

My '04 was millenium silver with black interior. Rare? Not really. But I don't think it's everyone's first color choice. I think the lighter interiors are very nice, just not for me. BTW, when I checked blue book value, the black interior added more to the bottom line.

I did an RX330 search within 100 miles of San Antonio (closest big city) and of the RX330's for sale with pictures, there are a total of 11.

Bamboo Pearl/Light Grey
Blue/Light Greay
Blue/Tan
White/Tan
Bamboo/Ivory
White/Tan
Silver/Grey
White/Ivory
Silver/Grey
Blue/Grey
Black/Black

Interestingly, only 1 of 11 RX330's within 100 miles for sale have a black interior. It mihgt be because they are less popular in the south, not sure.

i would rather get a black or dark gray interior. Another other color will get dirty easily. Especially the carpet.

I'm sure a black interior in Texas would get pretty hot in the summer. Now up here it's popular, probably because of the weather-doesn't show. I like it because of the look. My RX is never dirty
