Re: Color vs. Condition
I agree - go for both. If you're buying for long term, you want a vehicle you enjoy looking at and they make cars in different colors for a reason. But condition is always a consideration with a used car. Obviously I am partial to graphite gray and my son liked the machine gray over a blaze red....but I like the red and SSB as well. Black can be gorgeous but too much work keeping clean and (sorry) white is boring. Yellow and oyster gold are a turn off (my next door neighbor married a gal with an OG roadster). I also found a very attractive silver roadster last year, but it was almost the same color as the windshield surround and side stakes. So take your time and search diligently -- part of the fun is the hunt.
