that may not be a problem for him...

looks pretty clean, but being a former black z owner..... are you sure that you want that color. the fronts are notorious for chipping easy from rocks, you will see every scratch and swirl from washing it, and it is a pain to keep clean

Price is decent. I've seen 2012's+ with ~25k on the odo go for around $24,000.

Agreed on the paint. You must be willing to keep up with maintaining the paint on a black vehicle.

I hate black. My Z is black too got too good of a deal to pass up on it. But like you said, you see every imperfection . One day it'll be a different color but I have other plans right now.

Hey, automatics are not bad options for those who just wanna drive and enjoy the car, the weather, the company one keeps. I don't have a problem with anyone's preference.

To shift or not to shift. That is the question.....

S'far as black.... It's beautiful. Heh heh.... there I go showing my age. (As the other 50-plussers laff or shake their heads.)

But while I swore never to own another black car, well, here I is once again changing my mind.

Yeah yeah, I know.... lookee dat evil gap. Hahahahahaaaaaa.....

black is beautiful when it is clean, but a pain to keep clean

Just needed to beat you to the punchline.

But ya, too true. My silver one is waaaaay dirtier than the black one - which has pretty much just sat in the garage since last wash - but you could never tell unless you're right on top of it.
