Default Narrowing Down Finally...your thoughts?

Experts....

I have currently narrowed my search down to 3 potential vehicles. I am very pleased with all 3 color combos and am looking for what your eyes catch that mine haven't. I have placed them in order of what I think is the best rack and stack (despite kind of liking the White color combo better...tan can show a lot of dirt with flight boots).

Please share your thoughts and expertise.

2) http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=304695567 Is anyone near this one to run a RENNFAX by chance?

Again, thank you SO much for your time and inputs!!
Matt

1 or 3 (based on it being a listers). 1 seems to have the right upgrades and looks very clean for that mileage.

the first car listed is very nice, 2 sets of wheels and suspension completed is worth at least 3 grand, then you're also getting a 20k mile clutch so it might even be the cheapest of the 3.

Agreed. The black is nicely presented, useful upgrades. Cashmere marks it down for me, but overall pips the white one, which is going to need suspension done at ~$2-3K. Blue is nice but doesn't really standout. Very little major stuff done eg, clutch, suspension, topend rebuild.

Bottomline, if you can live with the cashmere and don't mind a lot more work keeping the black exterior looking nice, go with the black car. There'll be less exterior upkeep on the white car and the fact it needs suspension could be a useful bargaining point. GL

White is very easy to keep clean; and it seems like the hardest paint too.
I've had platinum silver and GR...both chipped much easier than my white one.

Interesting observation. My car only has 30K but virtually no front paint damage. Wonder why this might be the case. I thought the only difference would be the pigments, and paint was paint was paint.
