I think both have higher maintenance than other colors. I have a basalt black car coming later this year.

I know of the red car you are talking about. Cold day and cold tires are not a good combination even with as sticky as these tires are. I'm sure it will be fixed properly and will perform superbly. The only issue will be on resale, when you have to disclose the repair. It was repaired by an authorized dealer, so maybe not a big a deal. Good luck with your search. It is a fantastic car.
I was really excited about the red one before I found out it was in an accident.. but the damage was too extensive for me, especially since they still wanted msrp. See the attached picture of the suspension! That is a hard hit!!

Very good advice . I had Ralph looking for me and after several different ones popping up finally found one option out like I wanted. You got to be opened to what options you can live with or without..

Good luck!

Not that you need our advice, but I'd stay away from that one.

I wonder if PCNA knows they are selling this car as brand new and if PCNA would allow them to do it.

Am I missing something?....How can you tell a car is totaled from one pic?...Are there other pics?

My 996TT is basalt black. It is high maintenance like all black cars. I still love it though. It is a great color.

You can throw Atlas Grey into the high maintenance bin too.
