It looks like you already have pics of them.

Why do you want us to take some more pics?

This blue is called the Indigo Ink, very nice color & my second favorite SC430 color of all

I love the ecru interior a lot more, but prefer the Indigo ink exterior, so that would be a tough choice for me. Overall I'd still pick the blue personally.

lol ... man forgets one little letter ...

I'm going to vote for blue personally .... Silver seems to be the more traditional Lexus color though. I just know out of the 4 IS owners i know in town three of the damn things are the MSM silver, and it makes me want to paint my car.

Blue with Black interior would be my choice.

And is that actually Silver or is that the Egytian Sand color??

The white seems to be quite common in the Jersey area. Surprised you cant find one. Seen quite a few of them while doing a little research for myself.

This's a tough one...

Silver/ecru advantages:

cleaner exterior &
easier to maintain
lighter shade of wood trimming looks better

Indigo Ink/black advantages:

easier to maintain leather color

But that's just my opinion. And remember what they say..opinions are like a$$holes! We all have one!

If you have budget constrictions, go with the silver one. The birds eye maple never gets old. When purchasing used, you really cant be too picky like buying new. If you could wait, more power to you. I hate waiting, spontinuity is fun.

I couldnt agree more~ My last car was a m3 cab and i sold it because i didnt like the color. But now i have the color ive always wanted and its really something. i would wait.

But if you had to and you dont care about the color go for the one in better condition.
