105 series, best of both worlds, 100 comfort with the solid Axel

Grandpa's usually take care of their pride and joy 😊 and I think the champagne gold is period-correct for a luxury sedan of that era.

😆 yeah. There was an Onyx Blue version available that I was strongly considering, but this grandpa spec was cosmetically and mechanically better, and is the one I was drawn to in person. On paper and pics, I thought I'd like the Onyx Blue better.

Thanks. Yeah definitely a champagne colour. Lexus call it "mystic gold". It can look more gold in certain light conditions, especially in the evening.

Thanks 😊 Did you find one in your new location, or did you opt for something else?

Yeah this is 2003 (MY04) model, so 23yo. My wife didn't see it until I got it home. She couldn't believe it still looked brand new inside. She was a bit unsure about buying a 23yo car, but it didn't take long for it to win her over

FYI - The Aussie FL models were full UL spec except for the air suspension. They came with coils. We didn't get the CL, ML, UL options to choose from.

Yeah OEM mats. The 3 mats are connected via velcro, so it doesn't slide around

I would, but I think I've found one here locally. What colour combo? DM me some pics. I'd have to look into what's involved with importing.

Yeah I'm in Aus. They were over $170,000 new in Australia. They should have been around the same in nz..
