hmcmcd Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 I recently purchased a 2002 RX300 from a Lexus dealership who told me while I was looking that the leather was made by Coach. Is there a way to tell from the interior if this is true (maybe by the VIN number)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rx300_coach Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 theres also a "COACH" indentation on the headrests signifying that it is indeed a coach edition seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LexKid630 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 1: I have a 2003 coach rx300. On the average rx, the paint it 2 tone; x color on the upper half, and a grayish x color on the bottom half. On the coach's the paint is all 1 tone; ex i have ALL gold (ewwww)..LOL 2: The coach leather is perforated; meaning there are tiny holes (dah). This is supposedly better??? 3: Also the word "COACH" is planted just about everywhere in and out the car. It's on the floor mats, headrests, outside on the front fender and sometimes on the bumper??? I wouldn't know; i had to have my bumper replaced b/c i backed up into a pole :P 4: The front grille is different with the coach. It has a bunch of holes and it's a darker chrome color. Sort of looks like a bees nest w/o the hexagonal shapes..... 5: If your interior color is ivory, the wood on the steering wheel and everywhere else, is a lighter color compared to the standard dark color. 6: Depending on which car you have, it might also have more options such as navi etc. standard. Besides these things, the coach is the SAME as the standard rx! I bought a coach thinking there was SOMETHING better about it but i was wrong! This coach has been the most troubling rx i have ever owned!! But i'm sure it's just mine b/c everyone else seems to think they are the best....Good luckkkk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchieg Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 coach had the perforated leather , black pearl badges and the signature floor mats ← Is the "coach" the same as the "silversport" or are they just different production years? When I bought my 2001 RX300 last year, I was told it was a silversport. It has perforated leather & a different style grille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlisted Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 samething basically they went from coach to platinum series{AM EX} to silversport and now "thundercloud" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexKid630 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 solversport editions don't have the wood wheel and shift knob either. Actually there isn't ANY wood to be exact; it's all auminum.... They are just a bunch of different names for models with different standard features.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strmrdr23 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 i thought the silversport supposedly had a "eurotuned" suspension too... coach had the perforated leather , black pearl badges and the signature floor mats ← Is the "coach" the same as the "silversport" or are they just different production years?

LexKid630 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 The silversports do have a different suspension standard. I have driven a silversport before i got my rx300 and i couldn't find a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
